Lately I’ve been hearing/reading about the new Wii Fit.  I’m always saying that I’m going to start working out so I thought it might be a fun (albeit costly) way to motivate myself.  After further consideration and some subliminal messages from Mr. Savvy (playing YouTube reviews of the Wii Fit that said it’s basically a waste of time and money), I decided to make do with what I already have.  After all, if I want to run (which I don’t, LOL), I can go outside and do it for FREE.  Likewise with the yoga.  There are yoga shows on TV all the time.  Not to mention, I never use the yoga DVDs I picked up at the Target dollar spot (because they’re wack but that’s neither here nor there).

So what did I end up doing?  Riding my bike (for FREE) around the neighborhood at Mr. Savvy’s prompting.  Though I was dog-tired afterwards (I was still sore from rafting over the weekend), it was a good workout.  I was tricked into riding for two miles (I thought it was only one) but I’m sure my heart/body will thank me later.

What are ways that you’ve saved by using something you already have?
