Recession Proof a Good Fitness Routine
Tightened budgets need not squeeze fitness from a woman’s lifestyle. In The Women’s Home Workout Bible, (Human Kinetics, November 2009), best-selling author Brad Schoenfeld explains how savvy purchases can create an effective home gym with just $100.
Schoenfeld, author of the popular book Sculpting Her Body Perfect (Human Kinetics), advises obtaining resistance training equipment with available funds, since anyone can achieve a good cardio workout without spending money. "Walking, jogging and running outdoors are free activities that burn fat and improve cardiorespiratory function," he says. "The same thing goes for callisthenic exercises, such as skipping in place and doing squat thrusts and jumping jacks."
Many resistance exercises can also be done without equipment, Schoenfeld notes, by simply using body weight. Exercises such as crunches, push-ups and calf raises cost nothing and tax muscles, and can be made more or less difficult by modifying positioning.
To complement body weight and equip an effective home gym, Schoenfeld suggests purchasing five key items: a floor exercise mat, a stability ball, a chinning bar, leg weights and a set of strength bands.
