Excuse number 1: The gym costs too much!

One of my favorite excuses  I have always used in regards to the gym was that joining a gym cost too much and is a waste of money.  Now in all honesty - if you sign up for a membership and never use it, then yes, it is a waste of money.  The fact that you are spending that money should make you want to go so that you will not waste it.

The gym is not too expensive.  Let's just say you pay $40 a month.  Some people pay more and some less.  Here are examples of things we all do that cost the same OR more:

•  If you go out to eat for lunch one day a week in a sit down restaurant, you will spend at least $10 and often $15 to $20 depending on what you get.  In a month you will spend at least $40 on lunches.  And many of us eat out more than that.  Even if you go to a fast food restaurant once a week, you may be spending less, but you are still spending at least $20 a month.  
• If you have a night out with the guys or the girls and you have any alcohol, it is VERY  likely that this ONE night out will cost more than $40.  If youo did this twice a month,  that could be $80 - 100 in a month!  WAY more than the gym.
• A lot of ladies spend $200-400 on a pair of shoes.  This would cover a year at the gym
• You can join classes and groups outside the gym and many of these will cost you AT LEAST $10 a session.   If you went once a week, this would cost $40 in a month.  At the gym, you can take as many classes as you want a day or a week!  If you took three classes a week, and that is it, you are paying $3.33 for each class!  

There are so many other things we spend money on - some of which we need, some of which are bad for us, etc.  We have to stop making the excuse that we cannot afford it.   There is a plan and a gym that will work for all of us!  Just do some research and make the commitment!
