Health Tip: Get Fit Without the Gym

(HealthDay News) — Even though you may not have the time or budget for a gym membership, you can still be fit and healthy.

The American Academy of Family Physicians advises:

  • Exercise for 30 minutes daily, five days a week. This can happen anywhere: at home, at the office or elsewhere.
  • Create realistic goals that help keep you motivated.
  • Vary your routine and keep it fun. Incorporate exercises to work muscles throughout your body.
  • Build a group of exercise buddies to keep each other accountable.
