I'm in the best shape of my life. I love the music (how else would I know what my kids listen to) and the friends I've made over the years. I know myself well enough to know I need an instructor, a start and end time. The other suggestions are great, especially quitting smoking and tanning, but I'll be old and gray before I give up my Jazzercise classes! I have been going to Jazzercise for 10 years and I LOVE it!

I have a serious Latte addiction and found that buying the espresso machine and making them at home (at least 4 times a week) as paid for itself many times over. I'm also a big believer in bringing your own lunch - you save tons of money and usually eat better - another bonus! Great tips Kim!

Getting rid of TV, a land line and a gym membership is saving me about $175 a month. I haven't gotten into a routine for exercising outdoors yet this year with these colds I keep getting, but as soon as I am well it's hiking, walking and climbing for me. :) I never really watched TV when I had it, so I don't miss that. And I don't even notice not having a land line. What do you all do to save$? Great tips Kim. Getting rid of TV, a land line and a gym membership is saving me about $175 a month.

Buy your own, and it will pay for itself in a year or two. You're also more likely to use it when it's in your house, you can use it when you want to, and you don't have to use gas or take public to get to a gym.
