Many people pay money to get fit, and I know that I have too. But there are numerous ways to get fit that are free or ways to earn money as you get fit and lose weight. I know that you can add to my list.
FREE WAYS TO GET FIT:
1) Do your own chores - instead of paying someone to mow your law, clean your home or shovel your snow, do it yourself and get fit - before I was in Real Estate I ran a nanny business and you would be amazed at the people that hired babysitters to take their child for a walk in the park, hired gardeners to mow the lawn and maids to clean - so they could have more time to go to the gym and work out. I always found this ironic.
2) Enhance your cleaning or errands by wearing ankle weights or wrist weight
3) Don't conserve your steps - walk up and down the step EACH time you have something to take - I used to put things by the basement door and wait until I a pile ready to go before I made the trip - now I make the trip for one thing.
4) Spruce up your home - do extra vacuuming, raking, sweeping and get your house to sparkle as part of you exercise routine
5) Volunteer - help someone else out by walking their dog, doing their errands, raking the elderly neighbors leaves - you will get fit and feel good about yourself
6) Volunteer your exercise skills - offer free classes to friends - you all get fit and exercise together
7) Walk as many places as you can - to the store, to the quick mart to get a drink, to a neighborhood mail box to mail a letter
8) Volunteer at the local botanical garden or community garden - digging, raking, and planting is great exercise
MAKE MONEY GETTING FIT:
1) Get paid to walk a dog, raking leaves, shoveling snow or running errands
2) Mowing lawns - a friend of mine mowed 2 lawns a day mainly for the exercise and made money too
3) Be a crossing guard or a tour guide
4) Cleaning someone's home for pocket money and exercise
