Capitalize on quitters

So... it's been about a month since you made that New Year's resolution to get more daily exercise- are you still working toward your goal? Are you making your health a priority, or just making excuses?

We've got THREE big tips to help you achieve your fitness goals AND save money!

#1 Capitalize on quitters
Craigslist is a fantastic resource to find a great deal on gently used fitness equipment, especially this time of year. The next few months is prime time for weaker-minded individuals will give up on their health and fitness goals. Turn their loss into your gain! Search your local classified ads and yard sales to find some great fitness gear at a fraction of retail prices. Some great buys include: dumbbells, weight benches, barbells, stability balls, weight plates, resistance bands, pull up bars, weighted medicine balls, bikes, roller blades, sports equipment... the list goes on and on!


#2 Join the 'Groupon Gang'

If you've never explored the amazing deals on sites like Groupon and Living Social, you are really missing out! Groupon (and similar sites) are a great resource for trying new gyms or workout routines. You can find deals on yoga, pilates, pole fitness, zumba, personal training, boxing, group fitness classes, martial arts, and so much more! Sign up for their mailing list and they will deliver deals from your area directly to your inbox- it couldn't be easier.


#3 Shop Online
No matter what your fitness needs may be taking the time to comparison shop online will always save a few dollars. Compare prices on sites like eBay, Amazon, and Overstock. When comparing prices, be sure to add the costs for shipping to be sure the deal really is as good as advertised. Another tip before making that sale final, search for coupon codes that could apply to the item or vendor. This is one quick step that can often save you an additional 10-20% or even cover free shipping!


***BONUS TIP***
One of our FAV sites for deals on the web is Vitacost.com. Before you rush out your local GNC or supplement store, search Vitacost.com for all of your health and supplement needs. They always have great buy one, get one free deals as well as free shipping for orders over $50. Some of our favorite buys include: protein powder (they have more brands and flavors than you'll ever find in a single store) and shaker bottles in lots of colors for about $6 (they can retail for $20 or more!!)). Another great feature of the site is the ability to compare nutrition labels on several products at once, which is invaluable when you are looking for specific ingredients or concentrations for supplements.
