Forget about sweating it out with a bunch of strangers at a health club: You don't have to invest a lot of money in a gym membership or equipment to develop a fitness regime you can stick to, according to Colleen Greene, wellness coordinator with MFit, the University of Michigan Health System's health promotion division. Resolve to become healthier overall, rather than focus only on shedding pounds, advises Greene. Doing so will not only broaden your goals, but it will also spur you to overhaul your entire lifestyle, rather than settle for temporary fixes.
By purchasing the right equipment, creatively mixing up your routine, and staying motivated, you can start-and, more important, maintain-an exercise program at home. Greene offers several tips below the fold.
