Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be costly.  Monthly gym membership dues and the cost of whole, natural foods can really add up. Sometimes it seems that the healthy choice is much more expensive than the unhealthy one.

There are many things you can do to ensure you aren’t forking out loads of money each month which will guarantee your body maintaining a healthy lifestyle while cutting down on the costs. These expensive obstacles can be overcome by doing exercise from home.  It is important to fit some form of exercise in every day as research has stated that just 20 minutes of working out a day can really benefit your health now and in the long run.

The thought of exercising from home might not be the most appealing idea but not only does it save money on memberships and travel costs but you can do it any time of the day or night to work around your lifestyle. Some of the top ideas to exercise from home include the following:

• Go running around your neighborhood
• Use a work-out DVD as there are many available to choose from
• Ask for a Wii-Fit for a birthday present and access many types of sports activities to try out from the comfort of your living room
• Do squats, lifts and sit ups during the advertisements on your favorite TV programs
• Walk your dogs
• Go for bike rides with friends or family

Each of these exercise ideas is the perfect way to maintain a healthy lifestyle while saving on costs.  There are plenty of online publications which are free and feature fitness regimes that you can follow when running or lifting weights.

One of the great factors about exercising from home is you can use your imagination to really experiment with new ways to keep fit, whether it’s going on your children’s trampoline to playing a game of rounders with friends and family, there are so many ways to keep fit.

You can maintain a healthy lifestyle while eating your 5 fruits, vegetables and protein each day without spending a fortune. There are many ways around this. Many people go shopping without planning.  This is one of the biggest mistakes that you can make. Planning all your meals throughout the week before going shopping allows you to shop for the things you need so you don’t waste food or money.

Other healthy alternatives are to use a blender to make fruit and vegetable smoothies.  Soups are also very cost effective.  Anything not eaten can be frozen and eaten later.  If you still don’t feel like you are eating all the nutrients that your body needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle, then try investing in some sports supplements from Kinetica sports as they provide a range of healthy, drug tested supplements at reasonable prices. In the long run, the nutrition from sports supplements will save you money while taking care of your body.
