I as a fitness expert will let you in on 5 easy but effective tips to get fit that don’t involve complicated gym equipment and won’t cost you an arm and a leg. *Method #1: Using Workout DVDs: Using workout DVDs is a great low budget way to get in shape. You can use them from the privacy and comfort of your own home which is a big advantage for those of you who might feel self conscious working out in front of others. Workout DVDs are economical and easily available at most stores such as Wal-Mart or Target and many others. As an alternative you can order your fitness DVDs online from the website of your choice, if you prefer to shop online. There are a lot of websites to choose from, some that provide the option to read reviews and even preview clips of the DVDs before you place your order – www.collagevideo.com is one such site. *Method #2: Using a Jump Rope: Jumping rope is a great way to get in shape and Jump ropes cost next to nothing. It is an excellent exercise for improving cardiovascular fitness. FYI, you can get the same results jumping rope at a moderate speed for 15

minutes as you can with running a ten minute mile! The plastic jump ropes that have soft foam handles are a lot easier and more comfortable to handle are usually better than the cloth ones. *Method #3: Using Kettlebells: Kettlebell workouts are a great way to lose fat and tone your muscles and they are quite economical. *Method #4: Outdoor Interval Running: Outdoor interval running is a result oriented workout, if done right. Interval running will cost you nothing but a good pair of running shoes. Be sure to drink a lot of fluids and dress lightly so as to not get overheated, specially while running outdoors in hot, humid weather. Method #5: Playing Outside With Your Kids: Playing outside with your kids, not only helps you get into shape and keeps you fit, but does the same for your kids as well and is fun too. Playing basketball, kicking a soccer ball around and playing tag are just a few examples of fun ways to keep fit.
