Ann: You’re welcome. It’s true that most of the things that we read on blogs are things we already know. The interesting thing is that by writing about them again and again in different ways, it helps readers absorb and apply them. It sort of works like positive reinforcement

Thanks for sharing these tips and including your own thoughts on them! You know, we really “know” these things but I think we choose not to apply them until we read about them someplace like on your blog.

Stephen: That’s a great idea My apartment doesn’t have a gym so maybe I can trade my pool for it

I need the running to burn off my fat though so maybe walking wouldn’t work so well.

almost every apartment complex now has some sort of gym. I am sure each person has a select group of friends who live in an apartment. Coordinate with them to come over and use the gym. Some places have key cards and such so you will need your friend to let you in. But it’s a great way to see a friend and keep in contact with them and still work out for free. Same to be said with a swimming pool. Two great ways for free exercising to keep the costs of gym memberships at bay.

If you happen to like animals, you can do some dog walking services that pays you to exercise. Walking everyday is just as good for the heart as running.

Eric: You are absolutely right. It probably helps you keep your workout schedule when the gym is virtually in your house instead of you needing to drive somewhere else!

Do you happen to have a treadmill too?

It’s really not until you go without something that you realize how much you miss it…at first. After a while, then you realize how silly it was to have it in the first place. I used to have a gym membership. Then I bought some weights at a used sporting goods store and started running. At first I kept thinking about all the gym equipment I didn’t have. Then I started to realize I never really used the equipment at the gym. Just the free-weights. Now I work out as much as I used to, plus I save money on my membership and gas going to and from the gym.
