Because of rising gas and food prices, one of the areas where people are cutting back on is gym memberships. But just because you aren't going to a gym any more doesn't mean that you can't still get a good workout at home.
In this clip, a fitness trainer offers tips on ways to workout sans a gym including some equipment to buy and how music can affect your workout.
On a side note, because so many people are cancelling their gym memberships for cost cutting measures, your gym might be open to renegotiating your gym membership to something a little lower because they'd rather keep members versus having none at all. It doesn't hurt to ask.
