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?
