Move those feet<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8834\" src=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/run.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/run.jpg 630w, https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/run-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Why run on a treadmill when you can get out in the great outdoors, take in the views and fresh air, much more appealing than a packed sweaty gym. Go to your local park or even around your neighbourhood, walk to the shop instead of driving or go for a nice hike with friends and family at the weekend, the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Cycling<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8837\" src=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pablo-36.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pablo-36.png 630w, https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pablo-36-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cycling is a great way to get around and a fantastic form of exercise. Why pay to sit on a bike in the gym that doesn\u2019t go anywhere baffles me. Why not cycle to work or college, will save you paying for public transport, petrol and waiting for your bus\/luas\/train t to arrive, now you can just get up and go.<\/p>\n<h2>3.\u00a0Swimming<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8840\" src=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pablo-38.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pablo-38.png 630w, https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pablo-38-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Swimming is a great way to exercise your entire body. No need to join a gym if you just want to use the pool. Go to your local pool or even sea if you\u2019re feeling adventurous. Swimming keeps your heart rate up, builds muscle strength, endurance, relieves stress, lowers risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Swimming is also one of the most effective ways to burn calories. A gentle swim can burn over 200 calories in just a half an hour.<\/p>\n<h2>4. At Home Workouts<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8833\" src=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exercise-in-living-room.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exercise-in-living-room.jpg 630w, https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exercise-in-living-room-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>YouTube is a fantastic tool to any workout, there are so many free online videos,\u00a0it\u2019s like having your very own personal trainer\u00a0in the comfort of your home. There are also lots of free workout apps you can download straight to your phone so wherever you are you can bring your workout with you.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Take The Stairs<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8835\" src=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pablo-33.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pablo-33.png 630w, https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pablo-33-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you are out shopping, at work, wherever you can take the stairs, do. Going up a few flights of stairs can really make a difference and it\u2019s just one simple change in your daily routine. Something so simple can burn more calories per minute than jogging, reduce risk of stroke, help control weight and build muscle. Again why go to the gym and pay to go on a stair climber when you have access to free stairs everywhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to work out but don\u2019t like gyms, don\u2019t have time to go, or simply can\u2019t afford a gym membership then don\u2019t fret as there are so many ways you can work out without having to set foot in a gym. 1.
