The Fitness Scam (Part 3)
In the first post of this series, the Low-Tech Times presented several reasons to exercise outside instead of paying to join a fitness club.
The second article mentioned safe ways to exercise in your own home and also included a couple of fitness product recommendations (jump rope and pull-up bar).
After reading an article entitled ‘No Gym? No Problem!” in the January Reader’s Digest, I wanted to post on the subject for a third time. The article was written by Kathryn Tyranski and includes tips from trainer Kathy Kaehler. The tips describe ways to exercise for free in your own home using furniture and products that many of you already own. One idea listed that I thought was interesting was to fill empty laundry detergent bottles with water, instead of purchasing dumbbells.

I still like the indoor pool at Ballys during winter though…

I hear you. I do think for there are some people out there that enjoy the gym and get their money’s worth.
