Miserly Tip: You do not need to spend hundreds of dollars on a gym or health club membership, or spend thousands of dollars on exercise equipment or a personal trainer.

No treadmill? Roads do not exist to be gawked at. No weights? Use furniture. No machines? Gravity works wonders for crunches and pushups. No stair machine? Climb some real stairs, a tree, a hill - who cares, just go upward against gravity. No money for healthy food? Then you must have no money for candy, chips, and soft drinks, either, right? Excuses? I can’t hear you! Harsh? You will not see success by wishing. So get out and do it!

No one will be able to give you better advice, and treatment if necessary, than your personal physician and any medical specialists, when it comes to your body interacting with the environment through exercise. This is especially true of health conditions that might require special considerations when exercising, as might be the case with conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or seizures. Listen to your doctor rather than what you might hear on television or read on the internet or are told by your friends or other people.

Common exercise injuries include twisted ankles, pulled shoulders, bruises, soreness, and sunburn. You can minimize these by starting an exercise routine slowly, and gradually increasing the time and effort spent exercising so that your muscles, tendons, joints, and even your skin has time to toughen up. It is easy to deceive oneself into thinking it is possible to handle anything, but that simply is not likely. If you are trying to go from a mostly sedentary lifestyle to a fully active lifestyle, you may need a couple of years to achieve it. You can succeed, but allow your body time to adjust to changes.
