If you take care of yourself and feel good, chances are you will save more by seeing the doctor less. If you don’t feel well, you may be more likely to make spending choices based on convenience. Here are a few ways to save money on physical fitness in the coming year.

Get Moving. Think of ways to get more physical activity into your daily routine. Park farther away when doing your errands to get extra steps and use the stairs when you can. Activities like biking and hiking are good choices when taking a social approach to fitness. Community colleges and city recreation centers typically offer group classes and gym equipment for affordable prices.

Don't Worry, Be ‘Appy’. Check out free apps that can help you track your fitness progress. Some apps even include diet plans, workout routines and recipe tips. With a little research you might be able to find the customized guidance you are looking for. A few suggestions to download are: Couch to 5K (Free; iOS and Android); Yoga Wake Up (Free with optional in-app purchases; iOS); and Lose It! (Free; Android, iOS, Kindle, Nook, and Web).

A Home Gym? Rather than buying expensive gym equipment, check out free streaming workout videos on platforms like Hulu and YouTube.
