Working Out- For Less (even FREE!)

If any of you are like me, you may have a difficult time rationalizing spending money on a monthly gym membership when just getting to the gym is a task.  I don't mean finding your way there; I mean finding the motivation to get yourself there. So why pay for something you aren't 100% in love with?

Gyms are fantastic because they have all the necessary equipment in one place and many gyms offer classes to switch up otherwise monotonous workout routines.  But they are also pretty pricey.

But I discovered a wealth of resources at my fingertips (almost literally).  Youtube and Hulu have great links to exercise routines that can be done at home, with nothing more than the computer or TV in front of you.  They vary in length, difficulty, and areas of focus.  Just visit Youtube and type in what you would like to work on.

Here's an example of an ab workout I found on Hulu.com.

It does take some time to find an exercise routine you love, but I spent absolutely no money finding them.  Then, I bookmark it in a little folder and it is ready to go for the next time I want to use it!  This can save you about $50/month.
