Walking is easy, requires no training, and is 100% free.

Incorporating just 10-15
minutes of walking into
your daily routine helps
improve health and
wellness. A brisk
15-minute walk will burn
at least 100 calories, and
if you take 4 a day, you can
burn as many calories as
you would walking steadily
for an hour.

Save $387.03 and Stay in Shape This Year
Americans waste more than $15 billion a year on unused gym
memberships. Recent studies estimate that of the roughly 40
million Americans who pay for the gym each year, nearly 80% don't
go. And with an average cost of $480 per year, that's an awful lot of
dough for absolutely nothing.

If those get-healthy resolutions are still lingering, not to worry— you
don't have to spend an arm and a leg at the gym to get in shape.
Here's a list of budget-friendly workout options for 2010.

Medicine ball - $36.99 Medicine ball exercises help to
build muscle and burn fat, and you can do them almost anywhere.
Suitable for all ages and fitness levels, medicine balls allow for
improved range of motion, core strength, coordination, flexibility,
joint integrity, and upper and lower body strength. You can
buy an 11-12-pound ball for under $40 and use it to tone
everything from shoulders to calves.

Workout games - $39.99 Exergaming is a fun, affordable, and
increasingly popular way to get in shape. Games involve the player
in dance, aerobics, kickboxing, sports, and martial arts. Like other
forms of exercise, exergaming can help with weight loss and
improve fitness and health. You can pick up a game for less than
$40, or if you don't have a game console, you can find numerous
workout DVDs for under $20.

Exercise bands - $15.99 Aside from being a great way to work
out every major muscle in your body, exercise or resistance bands are very affordable and so lightweight you can take them anywhere. Great for the hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, chest, back, and abs, you can also tailor the resistance to meet your specific fitness needs and goals. Bands range from $10-$25 and are an easy way to workout anywhere.

How your health affects your health care: By staying in good
physical condition, you'll pay less on health care in general. And
while you won't necessarily pay less for your health insurance,
a good policy takes your health into account in determining your
risk levels. Get a free health insurance quote from Esurance to

to spend only what's necessary on health and fitness.
