Keeping fit on the cheap

Keeping fit doesn't have to be expensive.

If you belong to a gym, inquire about existing fitness center discounts.

Some of the biggest gym membership deals come from corporate accounts. Many companies, even small ones, make deals with local gyms.

Insurance companies also often offer discounts or some, like Humana, even pay for entire gym memberships. Companies understand that healthy employees cost a lot less in insurance claims and have less absenteeism.

Another option is part-time gym memberships. If you have a flexible schedule and are willing to avoid the peak times of early mornings and evenings, you might find full gym access at a fraction of the cost. In Florida, it's common to find discounts during the non-peak season when snowbirds are not here.

A home gym is another possibility. When I moved to Florida, I couldn't take my gym with me and sold it for a song on E-Bay. I was amazed how quickly the buyer came and disassembled it. Craig's List and garage sales are other great sources of used equipment, whether it's simple bar bells or a stacking weight set.

Other options include a TRX training system. It is a portable gym made out of strong nylon straps. It is geared toward all training levels and costs about $200. Because I've always been a fitness freak, I ordered one of these, but returned it. I didn't feel completely secure with the way it attached to our somewhat loosely hinged doors. But some people swear by them. It is very portable and can be attached to playground equipment or other similar structures.

For the best deal on the block, free weights are always great. All the big box and sporting goods stores sell them. Or check Amazon and Overstock for good deals. You might even pick up a DVD to go along with them. There are many, but my favorite, effective weight training DVDs are Joyce Vidral's. I was amazed to find how similar her DVDs were to the personal training certification books and instruction I received. A bench to do the exercises on can be obtained for $20, but a mat on the floor, or a plush carpet will suffice for the basics.

Another great resource is Play It Again Sports. I bought a new elliptical machine there. But it is best known for selling used or discounted new equipment. It's very hit or miss depending on the season and what it has in stock. If you get tired of your elliptical, it's a great place to trade it in for something different.

While we're talking cheap, a weekly food tip. I have lots of great tips in my book, but one is buying in bulk. My favorite aisle is beans and grains. The largest bag of beans I could find in Bradenton is a 20 pounder. But even if you don't get that size (lifting it will give you a great workout!), the larger bags provide a fourth cup of beans for just a dime! Compare that to 4 ounces of hamburger meat at $.60 a serving (and that's for the 30 percent fat variety). Even if you're not vegetarian, this is a great way to substitute a few meals a week to save money.

By the way, my recent blood work came back. Cholesterol:160 as it usually is on a plant-based diet. The nurse probed, "You must be taking something. What supplements/meds are you taking?" When I told her I wasn't she asked if I'd bring in my book.

Finally, because I've been challenged by a vegan Austin firefighter to a plank-holding contest, I'm now back up to my six-minute planks. I wowed the kids and adults at the Manatee High cross-country team practice this week where I'm an assistant volunteer coach.

Youngster, ripped firefighter Rip Essylstyn wrote "The Engine 2 Diet" after he successfully got his about-to-be-fired, high cholesterol scoring, fellow firefighters to lower their levels on a plant-based diet. We'll probably get a chance to make good on the challenge when our paths cross at food festivals in Toronto or Boston, where we're both scheduled to speak.
