So, you know when they tell you not to have liquids next to your computer? Well let me tell you don’t have liquids next to your systems after a strenuous workout either!
Not to worry, I’ll be back shortly. Until then, stay physically and financially fit!
I hear over and over again people say they need to get a gym membership or they don’t have specific equipment to work out properly. But, you don’t need any of that!
Now, I get going to the gym for accountability (I’ll talk about that in another post). But you don’t need a gym or equipment to stay fit. Especially if the cost of it doesn’t fit into your budget.
Bodyweight exercises can give you just as good and intense of a workout as any workout you do in the gym. It is all about the effort and time you give it. When I first started exercising I had 15-minutes. I came up with a routine that included 5 exercises that I could do from anywhere, at any time, and every week
A mix of push-ups, sit-ups, squats, lunges, and, a run comprised my beginning workouts. All I needed was the space and time to do it. What I discovered was, I didn’t need a lot of space. I’ve included a link to a routine that I used early on. 15-30 minutes is all you need to get a great workout.
I’m not saying you should not get a gym membership. If you can afford to do so, then, by all means, have at it. Just remember to include it in your budget.
If, however, you want to get a workout and don’t have a gym membership. Here you go!
Over this last week, I’ve been focused on accountability. I am working on my next blog post where accountability is one of the primary focuses. So when John Lee Dumas, wrote about having a team of people to hold you accountable for creating your success, I had to pay special attention.
Who is holding you accountable to accomplish your goals? In my upcoming blog post, I’m discussing the role accountability plays in our financial lives. But if I’m being honest, accountability plays a role in our lives every day. For me, my running group, Black Men Run (Kansas City), helps me to achieve my fitness goals daily.
Financially, keeps me motivated and moving towards reaching every goal that we have set out to reach. She encourages me to continue learning and growing so that I can achieve bigger goals.
Whether in fitness or finance, your journey is your own. But when you have someone in your corner motivating you and helping you get over hurdles, the already difficult path gets just a little bit easier to bear.
Who do you have someone motivating you to succeed? Who keeps you accountable?
