There is no doubt that exercise is very important. In 2017, the Health Council issued an opinion to the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport on exercise guidelines. These are based on an analysis of all existing research on the health effects of exercise. The guidelines for adults and the elderly describe the importance of at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, spread over several days. In addition, it is good to do muscle and bone strengthening activities at least twice a week. Now we can well imagine that this can be a challenge for some. Not everyone has the money to get a gym membership. But remember: where there is a will, there is a way. Get inspired by the following tips to exercise with no money anyway!

More than 1,700 companies went before you. It's that simple. Check.
We start, of course, with the cutest. Old-school jump roping! Not only does it stir up childhood memories; it's also an approachable way to get your whole body moving in an intense way.Count your jumps and you'll find your motivation increasing to improve the number.
Do you still have those forgotten skates in the closet somewhere? Dust them off, because it's time to get back out into the fresh air and enjoy an invigorating skating session! The feeling of the wind in your hair, the thrill of speed and the freedom of movement make skating not only a great sport, but also a great way to work on your movement goals.
When you're on your skates, every street or bike path is a potential adventure. Whether you choose a leisurely ride through the park or a more challenging route through the neighborhood, skating is an excellent way to work on your cardiovascular health, strengthen your leg muscles and burn those excess calories. Best of all, it's fun, so you hardly notice you're exercising.
A well-known sport that brings many health benefits, such as improving endurance, de-stressing and muscle strengthening. You can run in different ways: interval training, endurance running, tempo running or just free training.
Grab your bike and do some interval training. For example: 30 seconds 15 mph, 20 seconds 20 mph. Repeat this over and over again. Do this for 10 minutes or longer. Don't have an odometer? Then try estimating it by first cycling at a normal pace and then accelerating, etc.
Don't feel like/time/money for a fitness subscription? No problem! Having your own mini-fitness can be just as convenient. A fitness mat, weights and, for example, a fitness ball or resistance bands will get you a long way. Make it even more fun by doing the exercises together with a sports buddy. If you are interested in doing fitness at home, you can also take a look at the website of Home Athlete. This website is all about working on your health, fitness and lifestyle at home.
Climbing stairs is a great exercise. Know a reasonably high staircase nearby? Dribble away! How many times can you run up and down the stairs in 10 minutes (or twice for 5 minutes with a break). You set your own pace. Keep track of the number of stairs for yourself, and try to break your record each time. Good for your endurance, leg and buttock muscles. Be careful when the weather is wet, it can be slippery. Of course, you can always use the stairs in the house.
In addition, if you like more variety, consider adding walking to your routine. It is a low-impact activity suitable for all fitness levels. Take time to explore nature, enjoy the fresh air and strengthen your muscles at the same time. A win-win for your physical and mental well-being.
Before you start exercising, it is very important to think about your own safety. Jewelry off, make sure you have sports clothes and good shoes. The latter is important in preventing injuries. Do you currently have injuries? Keep this in mind, you know your own body best. If in doubt whether you can practice a certain sport, contact your doctor or physical therapist.
Lots of sports fun!
