• Look for ways to work out that dont require an
  expensive gym membership. Invest in a versatile
  weight set and build mass from the comfort of
  your home. The exercises below can be performed
  almost anywhere and with minimal equipment
• Crunches
• Squats
• Push-ups
• Walking lunges
• Weight lifting

3

• Look into a bulk savings club membership to save
  money on items you purchase regularly. Otherwise,
  standard grocery stores often let you purchase by
  the pound at a discounted rate. Look for healthy
  meal and snack options available in bulk, such
  as
• Oatmeal
• Rice
• Dried Fruit
• Beans

4

• Make a list of potential meals to try each week.
  Use the list for grocery shopping, then set aside
  time to chop and cook so you can have meals
  prepared for a few days. Planning makes it easier
  to use leftover produce so youre maximizing your
  groceries each week with high-quality foods and
  saving money on every bill. Plus, preparing lunch
  and dinner for the week will prevent you from
  spending money on unhealthy takeout meals and
  derailing your goals.

• These days, many brick and mortar shops are
  selling their goods online, making it easier than
  ever to shop on a budget. Fitness lovers who
  regularly buy supplements or gainers may find it
  advantageous to compare prices online. Prices are
  typically lower on the internet, and bulk deals
  with free shipping are often available for
  further savings.

6

• Protein bars are a great low-cost way to add
  protein to your diet. Whether eaten as a snack,
  meal replacement, workout aid, or for exercise
  recovery, protein bars are a delicious way to
  boost your active lifestyle. Bars from Promax,
  for example, are packed with replenishing
  protein, vitamins, and minerals, and come in a
  variety of great-tasting flavors.

7

• Look for coupons or sign up for a loyalty card at
  a local grocery market. Discount cardholders gain
  access to small savings each week. Though you may
  only save a few dollars during each trip to the
  store, the discounts will help you save in the
  long run.

• Plant-based protein like beans and nuts are an
  inexpensive way to diversify your meal-planning
  routine.
• Add chicken or turkey to salads, stews, and other
  healthy dishes as an alternative to costly beef
  products.
• Stock up on eggs. Theyre high in protein,
  inexpensive, and can be added to dozens of meals.
• Fish is a healthy addition to a gaining diet.
  Fresh fish can be pricey, however, so seek
  cheaper options like canned tuna or salmon.

9

• Carbohydrates and protein work together to build
  muscle and strength in the body. Though carbs
  have earned a bad reputation over the years,
  everyone needs carbs to stay in peak health. Skip
  heavy breads and baked goods, and eat rice,
  potatoes, and oatmeal instead. These foods are
  not only inexpensive (especially when purchased
  in bulk), but contain plenty of fiber to keep
  your energy levels up during workouts.
