As a fitness enthusiast I'm often astounded to hear some people's latest fitness drives which usually involve spending lots of money on gym memberships or fancy equipment that they never end up using that much. Keeping in shape doesn't have to cost much more than a decent pair of trainers, and if you can't afford them there's so much you can do barefoot indoors.

I do lots of running, which has to be one of the most effective exercises. I also do various bodyweight exercises (tap 'bodyweight workouts' into YouTube for ideas). There are so many interesting exercises you can do from simply jumping up and down on the spot to the incredibly difficult handstand pushups – you really don't need a gym to get fit.

Good luck with your thrifty fitness campaign…
