Ok, now I am not going to pretend I am amazing at keeping on top of all my New Year’s Resolutions such as doing the yoga sun salutation in the morning, jogging three times a week and enough cardiac exercise to get my pulse racing every day… BUT I am trying to my best to make it easier to fit healthy living into a routine.

When I returned from travelling it was supposed to be my mission to get fit and join the local gym. But, after being quoted extortionate prices for gym membership locally, I couldn’t even consider it. You have to bear in mind the fact that I am hoping to move out within six months (wishful thinking!), and most places only offer annual membership.

Our modern-day saviour, YouTube came to my lazy-arsed rescue and here are some really motivational videos I found! I hope these motivate you too

If you just want to warm up…

Only have fifteen minutes? No problem!

You’re stuck in a desk job? No problem! Especially if you have no qualms about rubbing yourself up against a wall in front of all your colleagues!

Lastly, if you live near a big city like London you can easily survive on playing the system… Phone up your target gym asking to have a free session to test out their place before deciding on a membership. If you have twenty gyms within a tube-ride away you can probably avoid paying gym membership for a good month or two Let me know how you get on and good luck!
