Yesterday I had to cancel my gym membership with the gym I was part of for about 2 years. There were a couple reasons why I canceled, and for a while actually, I’ve been meaning to cancel. The first reason was to cut my personal expenses. The second reason was that I wasn’t utilizing the gym enough to make it worth it. Trust me, I felt pretty bad canceling, but at the same time, it’s for the best.
That doesn’t mean that I’m going to stop exercising though. I still can use the small gym in my community and I have the essentials for working out at home.
Here is a list of the equipment I own and from there, I can figure out different types of exercises I can do with them:
Pair of 5lbs Free Weight dumbbells, which gives endless types of workouts to tone your body – available from Amazon.
Stability Ball & Resistance Cords– I have the Oxygen Fit Body Ball and Slastix Toners I was given by them. (check them out!)
I also have some workout videos and Wii Fit, so there’s plenty of things to do, and its so much fun that you don’t even realize that you’re working out!
As for cardio, if you don’t have a treadmill or one that’s accessible, there’s always running outside. There’s also bicycle riding and rollerblading too, even if its for 15-20 minutes. For an indoor workout, there’s also always my 20 min cardio Turbo Jam DVD! Netflix is also a great way to try out different workout videos without actually purchasing them.
So with these ideas in mind, I guess there really isn’t any excuse for me not to work out (and you too)! 
My name is Susan. When you think 'fitness' you think exercise and sweating. But there is more to life than that. Eating mindfully and being happy is also important. That is what this blog is all about.
