Five tips to get in shape without expensive gym fees
WANT to keep in shape without breaking into a sweat over your bank balance?
With bills rising, one in ten gym members plans to ditch their subscription, according to research by mobile company Lebara.
But you can save on fitness kit to work out at home . . .
IRRESISTIBLE: Resistance bands are great for strength training. GymShark is selling long, light-resistance bands for £5, down from £10.
You could also buy a pack of five different strength bands from Active Forever on Amazon for £7.99.
STEP UP: Aerobic step platforms are useful for both cardio and strength training for legs. The Denny International adjustable aerobic step is £13.97, down from £15.97, on Amazon. Or find a staircase and use the bottom step as an alternative.

WEIGH IT UP: If you don’t want to splash out on weights, scan your home for heavy items you can grip safely. Think water bottles, milk cartons and tins of beans. If you prefer the real deal, you can buy a 12kg Everlast dumbbell set from Sports Direct for £14.99, down from £17.99.
ROLL WITH IT: Workout mats are great for yoga, Pilates and stretching. At Sweaty Betty, mats start at £40. But you can save a fortune by heading to Decathalon instead, where a Pilates floor mat is £2.99.
JUMP START: Skipping is a great workout for burning calories as well as boosting stamina and co-ordination. And as ropes are light, you can take one wherever you fancy working out. Nike has the Intensity speed rope for £19.95 or you can get the TechRise skipping jump rope from TeckNet.co.uk for £2.99, down from £10.99.
