Can't Afford Personal Training?

We've all heard of terrific personal trainers that anyone can hire to help them along in the process of getting fit, strength training, or anything else, really. But sometimes they can be just downright expensive. A lot of people can't afford the hourly rate of a personal trainer.

Well, here are some cheaper alternatives, for those of you who still need the extra push but just can't afford the extra bill:

*Train with a Buddy

Training with a friend seems like a no-brainer alternative, but it's amazing how much the idea is scoffed at. Think about it. Remember back in third grade, we all had to do the "mile" run? The only thing keeping us from walking was the fact that our friends were still running!

* Training on the Go:
Why not buy an exercise DvD or two? They're cheap, they don't need to be paid, and they always show up ready to go! If you can't afford the gym or a trainer, look into either training videos or pilates videos.

*Take notes at the gym:

Trust me, it isn't as embarrassing as it sounds. There were plenty of time in the gym where I simply didn't know the best way to do something. I'd either watch or even ask someone who looked really great at whatever it was. Be social, you'll be surprised how friendly people can be at the gym!
