What Are The Best Low Cost Exercises?

Many believe that you don’t really need exercise equipment to stay in shape. After all, what did our ancestors do? They exercised mainly by staying active – because they had to in order to get through life.

It’s relatively recent that we had to “invent” home gym exercises to make up for the lack of it that we got in our day to day activities. So what are the best forms of exercise today?

Of course, the 2 most well known type of exercise that practically requires no special equipment other than perhaps some athletic shoes are walking and running. Of these two, walking is most likely the better as there is much less joint impact from the incessant pounding of the foot on hard pavement.

Another excellent low cost exercise is jumping rope. This exercise is one of the best if you want to improve your cardiovascular system. It helps to build up heart strength, lung strength, and endurance. Equipment is also very inexpensive in that all you need is a rope, and you’re ready to go.

So often, swimming is brought up as one of the all time best exercises – and it’s true. Swimming exercises the entire body – especially the large muscle groups which don’t often get much exercise. Swimming is a low impact exercise making it a good exercise for the body’s joints. And it burns calories at a tremendous rate. The only problem, however, is that you need access to a pool to take part in this exercise.

And, lastly, there is the resistance band or bands. These are fantastic because you can use them just about anyplace. They’re not expensive, they’re easy to use, and they can even be fun.

All of this goes to show that if you really want to exercise, it’s not necessary to invest in expensive exercise equipment or some home fitness gym. Many times the best exercise is one that you can do with either equipment that you already have or used gym/fitness equipment.
