It’s hard to stay fit when prices rise and cause your budget to stretch to its maximum. It can be done. It starts by finding ways to do it. If you already belong to Rising Fitness and pay directly, you can save money by having your membership directly taken from your checking account. Group sessions are also good ways to save money. Finding menus that are healthy and can feed the whole family for less is another important way to save.
Choose more vegetables.
One thing that can drain the pocketbook is the price of fresh fruits and vegetables. You don’t have to buy fresh ones to get the benefits. Frozen vegetables and fruit are not only as good as fresh. They may even be better. The produce is picked at its ripest. It’s then cleaned and frozen on-site. Fresh produce in the grocery store is often picked early. It takes days to transport it to the store. Canned vegetables and fruit without added sugar aren’t far behind fresh in benefits.
Meal planning and inexpensive protein sources can keep grocery spending low.
When you plan meals for the week, you can include the food on sale. Meal planning uses the same ingredients for several dishes. If you bake a chicken, you can use it for baked chicken breasts one day, chicken salad another, and chicken soup on the third. You shop on the second day and cook all the meals for the week on the third. Pack the meals for the week. There are no leftovers that you eventually toss. Many of the meals can be meatless to save even more money.
If you’re short on money, use free forms of exercise.
You can exercise at home using bodyweight exercises. Make sure you start by doing them in front of a mirror so you can check your form. Your workout should include all types of exercise: strength-building, cardiovascular, balance, and flexibility. Track your workout so you can check the progress you’re making. You can also walk, hike, bike, or run to supplement your program.
