This<\/span>article could be very short. The costs of technical clothing vary widely. Shoes are probably the most important investment you will have to make. If you plan to exercise at home, you don’t need to equip yourself with very expensive machines. Need to feel committed and “compelled” to exercise, otherwise laziness takes over? We’ll repeat this to you (ours and yours) to the point of exhaustion: there is no effective preparation without recovery\/rest and proper, varied nutrition. Can expenses be kept down while still living an active life and engaging in sports?
\nWe could advise you to do sports while managing to spend little in two moves: don’t play golf or don’t ride and run.
\nGolf requires expensive equipment, golf club membership fees, and horseback riding worse.
\nBut before we take the stymied advice of those who practice these two wonderful disciplines to show us that they don’t cost that much, let’s focus on something else: running and individual training, either at home or at the gym. <\/p>\n1. Clothing: use cunning<\/h3>\n
\nA T-shirt, for example, can cost 10 or 100 euros.
\nConsidering that the higher values are justified by the brand (so they are not in terms of industrial costs), an average cost of 40-50 euros is what we recommend you focus on.
\nInexpensive garments have poor quality and will need to be replaced often (ultimately making you spend the same or more) while medium to high quality ones are more environmentally friendly, use better fabrics and are more technologically up-to-date.
\nHowever, there are also ways to save money by buying quality things: <\/p>\n\n
\nTake advantage of these sales, especially if you don’t care to have the latest collection. <\/li>\n
\nFor example, a good T-shirt can be used for both running and the gym, some shoes as well. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n2. Shoes<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nHowever, you can save money here as well: <\/p>\n\n
\nOften there are special offers or promotions on shoe models from previous seasons or on models that are about to be replaced.
\nIf you’re not interested in getting just the most up-to-date shoe, go for it. <\/li>\n
\nAfter all, you don’t know if you’ll continue (which we hope you will!) so it’s best to feel out the ground and then, eventually, make an investment.
\nSports shoes are one of the items whose cost is usually justified: the more technological content, the more understandable it is that they cost.
\nHowever, you have to ask yourself (and answer truthfully), “Do I need them?”
\nConsider that the most expensive shoes, paradoxically, are also the ones that wear out the fastest.
\nSince they use compounds that are super-reactive but much more delicate and exposed to wear and tear, they may have to be changed much sooner than cheaper models.
\nIn short, buy them only if you have capabilities commensurate with their technological content and if you have as a realistic goal to do incredible performance.
\nThere is no such thing as a shoe that, by itself, makes you run like a rocket. <\/li>\n
\nHowever, as long as you don’t neglect maintenance: clean them regularly<\/a>, alternate their use using rotation<\/a> (having, for example, one shoe for medium-long and frequent workouts and one to work on more reactive and “bad” speed).
\nThis will make them last longer, preventing you from having to replace them frequently. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n3. Equipment: choose the essentials<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nMany exercises can be done free-body (without tools, weights or anything else) or with inexpensive equipment. <\/p>\n\n
\nYou always have to do the work, that is, the effort. <\/li>\n
\nAlso consider renting, if only to try it out before deciding to buy. <\/li>\n
\nBut not only that, take a closer look at them.
\nA chair can serve you to do different exercises (have you ever tried standing on it alternating legs? Have you ever tried doing it 10, 20 times? It’s called training), a water crate, perhaps equipped with a handle, is a great weight to lift. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n4. How to save money in the gym<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nGoing to the gym can be a solution. <\/p>\n\n
\nSince you have already shelled out a not inconsiderable amount of money it will seem idiotic not to go, but you can do so having the (real!) feeling that you have spent less. <\/li>\n
\nHowever, evaluate the periodic promotions that many gyms do, often during less busy times, such as summer. <\/li>\n
\nRunning, brisk walking, and free-body workouts can be done in parks or public spaces at no cost. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n5. Nutrition: to eat well you can spend the right amount<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nThat said, it’s not like you have to spend crazy amounts of money to accomplish this: <\/p>\n\n
\nThese foods are nutritious, lend themselves to very tasty recipes, and are often inexpensive. <\/li>\n
\nIt’s evening, you’ve finished late at work and haven’t thought about dinner.
\nYou don’t feel like cooking and order online.
\nYou are sure to spend more than if you had planned your meals weekly to avoid waste and optimize your expenses.
\nCooking in advance can help you save time and money. <\/li>\n
\nOf course you can <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":85328,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":true},"categories":[15211],"tags":[],"powerkit_post_featured":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-85330","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tips"},"yoast_head":"\n
