Recently while looking at our monthly budget, my husband and I made a mutual decision to give up the gym. It costs us over 100.00 a month and neither of us are able to get there on a regular basis. So I know some people are going to say, she's done for, she's going to start gaining weight, or what a silly decision giving up the gym!
But it's not a silly decision for us. When we joined the gym, I worked just a few blocks from it and I would go two to three times a week, and every Saturday or Sunday with my husband. When I took the contract for my current position, we knew it was going to be a waste of money but we had signed a 2 year contract so we were stuck with it. I would go to the gym once a week for their Zumba class, until they moved it to an earlier time it wasn't possible for me to attend anymore. Then it got that I just popped in when I felt like.
I attribute my weight loss to getting moving, my midday walks at work and my long walks on the weekends. Add in that I'm doing starting to do intervals and I think I'm doing pretty good. So yes, we're giving up the gym.
However, mother nature has provided us with all of the equipment we need!

Who needs to pay for a gym when you can have all of this for free?
