Many of my buddies often ask, "I see you work out a lot, does working out cost a lot of money?"
I usually tell each other:"Not only does fitness not cost a lot of money, but fitness is probably one of the cheapest recreational activities in our daily lives! "
Yes, you read that right, it really is one of the cheapest, why don't you believe me? Take myself directly as an example, total **** just a few expenses, and I'll list them for my friends right away!
#Counting
Fitness, the money spent each month is not much
First of all, the cost breakdown is as follows:
1, fitness card costs. All over the country, the degree of economic development is different, fitness card prices are different, I'm in Guangzhou, our side of the ordinary commercial gym is generally 1500-2500 yuan a year (do a longer period of time such as three years of card more cost-effective), we take the middle value, counting 1800 yuan a year of the annual card fee, converted to each month is 150 yuan a month.
2, transportation costs to and from the gym. Generally speaking, we choose the gym within half an hour's drive (it is recommended that you do not choose a gym that spends too much time on the road on a daily basis, time is very precious in modern life, and if the gym is too far away it will also lead to a decline in the motivation to go to the gym).
I take the subway / own car combination of the way, the subway, then round-trip is 6 yuan, their own car to be a little more expensive, parking fees + gas *** 10 yuan, usually 22 days a month fitness, which is half by subway and half by car, the total cost of 6X11 + 10X11 = 176 yuan.

3, dietary costs, this often exaggerated by many friends of the misunderstanding, in fact, practicing good friends know, if not professional or semi-professional bodybuilders, ordinary bodybuilding players do not need to invest too much money in the diet.
On the internet, there is really no need to control the diet strictly, three minutes of practice, seven minutes of food, the vast majority of my friends did not do a single point of practice, but put the cart before the horse and spent a lot of energy on food! The importance of diet needs to be based on the total volume of sufficient training!
Cooking your own meals is more economical than ordering takeout.
Myself is in the daily normal meals on the basis of good control of the total calorie intake and protein ratio can be (daily eat more a variety of meat, eggs, milk is completely enough, will not be more than 15 yuan a day, a month is up to 450 yuan (note that the article is a normal diet based on the increased protein percentage amount).
4, supplements. The supplements you use yourself are Muscle Tech's protein powder, creatine, and nitrogen pumps.
A barrel of Muscle Tech Platinum 5 pounds of protein powder is about 500 yuan, two scoops of protein powder 60g per day, converted to 13 yuan / day, a month for 13X30 = 390 yuan, creatine a can of 400g, a can of about 200 yuan, eat 5g per day, converted to 2.5 yuan / day, a month for 2.5X30 = 75 yuan.
Nitrogen pump is the same as creatine, but nitrogen pump is not eaten on non-training days, a month for 2.5X22=55 yuan, all three add up, each month supplements need to be 390 (protein powder) + 75 (creatine) + 55 (nitrogen pump) = 520 yuan (good great numbers).
5, water, I buy the cheapest mineral water, 2 liters of a bottle of 2 yuan, a month is 2 yuan X22 = 44 yuan.
6, protective gear and equipment , daily fitness does not require very professional protective gear and equipment, such as powerlifting professional players use belts, squatting shoes and other protective gear is more expensive, the average fitness enthusiasts do not need a very professional protective gear equipment, counting the annual cost of about 600 yuan to the equipment and protective gear on the enough, 50 yuan per month.
The total of the above six items is as follows:
We then simply rounded it up to the nearest whole number, directly even if it is 1400 yuan! (And that's with a protein-rich diet + supplements)
Some of you are going to say that you're undercounting the cost of private tutoring! Private tutoring fees range from 400-800 a session! I take many private lessons every month! That's thousands of dollars you didn't count!
I fitness to date, never had any commercial gym personal trainer, I am now training some commercial gym personal trainer, this industry threshold is too low, good trainers are rare, one in a million, a phoenix, pay tribute to the really good trainer!
We believe that although there are few good coaches, there will be more and more as the fitness market improves! If there are real quality coaches around, and at the same time their own economic conditions are better, it is entirely possible to hire a reliable personal trainer.
Online various video teaching, article teaching, books are very rich, factory director suggests that we are mainly self-study, if you really want to practice very well, into the body of the god goddess, please look for a really good coach to learn the basics, and then combined with their own actual body structure, training foundation, short-term and long-term training goals, daily free time and dietary habits, long term. Being your own coach is the best way!
We only need 1400 yuan per month, to be able to meet the demand for fitness, and our consumption set the standard has been higher, many friends even lower cost to meet the requirements, a month of 1400 or so can fully meet the daily fitness requirements!
Fitness can help you "save" more money!
Let's take a look at how much money fitness helps us save!
One, basically, around the really "train to look like" as a serious thing to do friends have quit smoking, a pack of cigarettes 20 yuan, 600 yuan a month (there are a lot of friends who smoke better cigarettes to save more money).
II. Alcohol is the enemy of fitness! Quit drinking is also a large sum of money, now all kinds of wine is not cheap, casually group a drinking game, a few hundred or even thousands of dollars spent, I fitness before I used to drink several times a month big wine, wasted I do not know how many white silver, heartache ah! Now with friends are normal dinner chat not drink, save a lot of money.
Three, a lot of friends are evening fitness, and fitness is a thing that will be addicted to, more and more evenings and weekends soak in the gym rather than KTV, bars and other places, and save a large amount of consumption.
Four, fitness people will not be fitness will not be sick, but the frequency of daily colds and other minor ailments will be greatly reduced, relatively speaking, and less medical costs. At the same time, fitness people in the purchase of some "health care" "therapeutic instrument" and other IQ tax products have more screening ability, generally will not be easy to spend unnecessary money on these.
Fitness is not only one of the cheapest activities.
It's also one of the most cost-effective activities.
How many things in the world do you put in for a certain return?
The only thing that will definitely get you in shape is fitness, if you train seriously.
Fitness to spend a lot of money is absolutely not the truth, more is not our excuse to avoid training, Please make sure to be strict with yourself, we pay the effort and sweat will not deceive us, we pay the time and money will certainly have a good return!
Please be sure to cheer together.
