I am so excited today to have a guest post over on Six Figures Under! Six Figures Under has been one of my favorite blogs for the past year and a half–even before I started my own. Stephanie shares frugal tips, recipes, and her family’s journey to pay off their six figure law school debt. Here is a snippet from my post today:
It’s that time of year again. That time when the Christmas presents have been put away, the New Year has been ushered in, and all across America you can hear a collective groan as people weigh themselves after the holidays. Millions make resolutions to lose weight, to go to the gym each day, and to finally fit into those pre-pregnancy jeans again.
If you have made a similar resolution, you may be tempted to go out and spend a bunch of money on the latest in-home gym equipment, electronic fitness helper, or personal trainer. However, if you are on a tight budget, that might not be prudent or even possible.
Do not despair! You can pursue your fitness goals without spending hundreds of dollars. I have learned that first-hand. In fact, this past year I have undergone a mild revolution in my exercise and fitness habits but have spent very little money doing so.

There are so many free online fitness resources to use! I look for free videos or specific workouts online. I just posted a list on my blog last week.
My favorite free workout is a walk or run outside though. 🙂
Heading over to read the post!
I am definitely going to go check out your post on online workout videos. I’m always up for new ones!
Congrats on your guest post! I’m off to check it out! 🙂
Thanks, Erin! I was pretty excited. 🙂
I loved being a member of our YMCA when my youngest was a preschooler. It was so nice to be able to schedule time to care for myself, and then do something fun with him after my class or workout. I haven’t been a member of a gym for a few years now and enjoy running, walking, and Youtube fitness videos! I agree that cost does not have to keep you from moving!
I also don’t have a gym membership at the moment–I do look forward to a time where it does fit in our budget, though! I think the Y would be a great place to join as a family.
