I liked it because going there lowered my insurance premium but I don't have that job anymore. So, now we do what you guys do. We have DVDs and have an elliptical machine and go running. It does lead to savings if you're creative. I work out at home now but I used to work out at the gym. I liked it because going there lowered my insurance premium but I don’t have that job anymore.

Also, don't forget the cost of running shoes -- these add up too. @K – Personally, I think swimming is better; especially, for your joints.

Ever try using two buckets filled with sand, rocks, or even water as if they were dumbbells? I like it for shoulder and arm exercises. There was an article on the New York Times website the other day that talked about migrating from gym to gym using their 2 week free memberships. Most people didn't seem to like that idea. What do you think about that? http://bucks.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/05/how-to-get-a-free-gym-workout/?ref=your-money I like your idea about using things around the house.

The cost of two dollars adds up over time. I wish I were a runner. It is so much more cost-effective. It always surprises me to think how much I spend just going swimming for health.

All those listed above are valid. In reality if you own a pair of shoes and some workout clothes, you are good to go - just go hit the pavement. However, I think having a gym membership is important even if used occassionally. I have been a life long exerciser, and find that variety helps me stay motivated to work out. I have gone weeks without going to the gym, because I run outside, but then that little voice in my head says you are paying for this, get in there. My health is more important than $30 per month.

I looked around the local gyms and they wanted around $100 a month!!!! So I went the home workout route. I did p90x for 90 days and it was awesome (although the instructor is a little annoying). I just got hold of Shaun T's Insanity workout which is a 60day program and am going to be starting on Sunday. I have about 10-15lbs o shed so gotta get down to it! (I linked my post about p90x in my URL if you want to take a look). Thanks, Forest.

There's a lot of great places with lots of clean air to run and walk. Even buying a treadmill or a workout set that can last a half- decade can save you thousands compared to going to the gym.
