Hi everyone I enjoy exercise at home because Living in a village miles from know where,I find it to expensive to join a slimming club or gym as they are two far away.
I do spinning,resistance band training,weights,yoga,aerobics all at home,with cheap equipment that gets the same results.
Would love to hear how you exercise.Kim:)x

    i don't use a gym any more because it's just expensive. Rather than a gym, it's better just to do aerobics in the house, go for a run and/or buy a set of weights (even a new set of weights costs less than 1 month of gym membership). anyway, as well as those things i like to:

    1. run up a nearby hill for half an hour.
    2. go out on my bicycle a few times a week.
    3. i like listening to the radio, so i download the shows to my mp3 player and listen to them when I go out for a walk.

    There aren't any gyms near me, we have a local swimming pool and I try to swim a few miles a week. I've just signed up for a sponsored swim which I hope will keep me motivated, 22 miles in 12 weeks. I'm looking fora cheap bike so I can start riding round the village rather then using the car all the time for shopping ordering people.i have a dog as well so I take her for walks ever day and try to do at least an hour with her. I've just started in MFP, hoping it goes well.

    Hi Rinkermann thanks for your post ,I agree with you it's expensive to go to the gym and where I live it's to far to go so I have an homemade gym which serves the same purpose:)

    I live 8 miles from town too, but I joined the gym there because of the range of weights etc that I can't get at home. But I cycle in and out to save money and exercise more. Besides that my main love is Taekwon-do. We are so blessed with hills though who needs gyms for cardio, walking the dog is like using a stair master :D
