Save Money And Shape Up?? Yes pleeeease!!

Shaping up does not have to cost a lot of money. It can be simple-and inexpensive.
Making just a few lifestyle changes can get your body healthier & make your pockets fatter! 👛

Check out these tips to help you get started:

1. Skip the Happy Hour or the dinner out and hit the gym instead!
🚶‍♀️No gym membership? Grab a friend and walk to the grocery store & make dinner.
Walking is an excellent form of exercise and easy to do. Add a hill or short jog to it & up the anti by 12% or more🔥

2. Cancel the landscapers and keep your body strong and toned!!
🏞Yard work can get your cardiovascular system and muscular system all in. Pushing a manual mower, gardening and raking leaves can burn up to 450 calories an hour while saving you money for your healthy groceries or new pants! 👖

3. Wash and wax your car to save dollars and burn calories.
🏎Just 30 minutes of washing the car will burn about 135 calories for a 125lb person.
BONUS: up your vitamin D while doing this outdoor activity 🌞

4. “Do your laundry!" "Put the dishes away!" "Clean your bedroom!"
🧺Did you know an hour of household chores burns between 140 and 400 calories! Keep that piggy bank full and be proud of your hard work!
Note to self: 30 minutes of vacuuming can burn 100 calories for a 120lb person 🏋️‍♀️
