working out on a budget

 Hey everyone!
 I know there are people that seen or know a  fitness finatic and seen so many diets on T.V. Even seen infomercials about DVD's and workout machinery and thought" boy i would love to do that but i can't afford it". Listen I understand; if you been following me you know that I have been having hinderances on top of hinderances in my life that has slowed down ( not stoped) but slowed down my health & fitness goals. So i want to encourage you. Whoever is in the same boat as me or the person thats have challenges worse than mine; that really want to begin there own journey but is hard.

There are many no cost ways to begin a workout program just for you; that can get you started, then when you are able to invest in some other resources you will have a good start.

* First talk to your doctor. Find out what he/she can recommend you to start working on. From health concerns you might have, habits that need to be broken and a list of excersise techniques that would be good for you. Ask for a recommendation to a nutritionist. Plan together life changing  health goals that are challenging but realistic (so it wont be discouraging). Write them out, put it on a mirror, on the freezer, read it daily and commit to it and commit to yourself!

* Next: go on line or visit your community library. There are many books you can read to research about the goals you placed before you and the different ways it can get done.

* You're gonna like this one. You know those DVD's you wish you can get but you cant right now. Most libraries have fitness DVD's...FOR FREE!!  A huge assortment..cardio, arobics, pilaties, yoga. Most libraries you can request to keep them for a while ( a couple of months) when you get to familiar with it take it back and GET ANOTHER ONE!!!!

* Did you know one of the best ways to workout you wont need anything but your feet and legs.... running, jogging, jumprope (without one. indoors or outdoors)? Run/ sprint in place for about a half hour at about 5-15 miles per hour; you will sweat and lose a calorie or two ;).

*DRINK PLENTY OF WATER THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

* You can use your furniture as workout equipment, jugs of water for weights~~ the ideas are endless! You can do it!!!

* Be around positive people and do your best to keep yourself free of stress. Im not a doctor but stress can add pounds to your body and take years from your life. YOU'RE WORTH MORE THAN THAT!!!!

* And my last quick tip: love you're self and believe in yourself. The only person that is stopping you is you. I have seen so many TV shows where people don't have arms or legs, blind, etc and they are still facing those fears and completing there goals. You can do it and you will do it. We can help each other. Times are hard but whats going on in society does not have the power to dictate to us who we are or who we can become.

Yal know im real on by blog. NO excuses...Bring it!!!!
