Walk
Walking or jogging is probably the cheapest form of exercise out there. Put on your sneakers and go outside. Is it too cold or raining? Either dress accordingly or drive to the nearest shopping center and walk indoors.
Ride Your Bicycle
If you already own a bike, drive it to work instead of taking your car. You will save on gas and exercise at the same time. If you do not have a bicycle, talk to family and friends. Many people have bikes taking up space in the garage that they do not use. They might be willing to part from them at a meagre price. If not, go to yard sales and on websites like Kijiji. You might find a good deal.
Swim
Swimming is another excellent way to exercise. If you live near a lake or a river, take advantage of it. If not, look for public swimming pools in your town. Some high schools and universities also give access to their swimming pools at a very reasonable price.
Skate
In winter, skating is not expensive. Go to an outdoor skating rink. You can also organize a hockey game with some friends.
Organize Sport Activities
Organize an afternoon of soccer or volleyball with friends. It can even become a weekly event. Go to parks or the beach for free access to the grounds, or check with your local schools to rent part of the gym at a low price.
Dance
Have a party! Dancing is fun and great exercise. Put on some music and dance, or get a bunch of friends together to have even more fun. You will burn calories without even knowing it.
Workout Videos
Get these old workout videos out of the closet and workout. They might look outdated, but the exercises are still good.
Online Programs
For those who want a more serious exercise program, there are some available online at a much lower cost than a gym subscription, although they can still seem expensive to someone on a tight budget. An online personal loan can help you pay the subscription, and you can repay the loan within three to four months.
Gym Promotions
Some gyms have regular promotions that can allow you to subscribe at a fraction of the price. As for the online programs, an online personal loan will help you pay the subscription. Some gyms also have monthly or bi-monthly payment plans that can make payments easier to manage.
Whichever type of exercise you prefer, you simply need to get creative and get moving!
