New Year, New You – Lose Pounds and Save Money

New Year, New You Lose Pounds and Save Money

The end of the Christmas period can come as a relief to many, especially those who have consumed far more food and alcohol than they intended to.

Of course, once Christmas is over and we welcome the New Year with open arms, our thoughts begin to turn towards the fresh start we have been afforded.

New Year is a time to consider what we want to achieve as the year unfolds and for some people their biggest resolution will be to lose weight and get fit.

Losing weight and getting fit is a fantastic goal to set given the hugely positive impact it can have on people's physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

Unfortunately, many people find the cost of joining a gym or purchasing fitness equipment prohibitive and subsequently their good intentions are reluctantly dismissed amongst a deluge of other financial outgoings

If you want to lose weight without having to pay for a Gym or other fitness equipment, then take a look at the top 3 free ways to exercise and watch the pounds drop off as you save money...

Activity 1: Walk

It sounds simple, but just walk. Often people will use their car to drive a short difference. Walk short distances instead of driving and you will soon feel the pounds dropping off. You will also save money on petrol.

If you start looking for opportunities to walk, you will soon find there are many you have been avoiding. For example, take the stairs instead of an elevator.

Try walking at a fast pace for short bursts of time and also try walking on an incline to burn more fat and get your heart rate up.

Activity 2: Dance

Most people love music and dancing to your favourite songs can be a great way to get into shape. Dancing to your favourite music will burn plenty of calories and works different parts of your body too. Even better, you can do this whenever you have spare time from the comfort of your own home. Remember: when you are enjoying yourself, you are much less likely to feel that exercise is a chore

Activity 3: Cleaning

Cleaning is something we all have to do and often moan about, but the great news is that cleaning can actually form part of your exercise routine and can help you get fit.

Rigorous cleaning burns lots of calories and when you have finished not only will you be one step closer to the new you, but you will also have a beautifully spotless home
