How to live a happy and healthy lifestyle on a tight budget

Exercising

Many people may dismiss this idea as they don’t have enough cash to join up to gyms and fitness clubs which would guarantee such results, or they’re so busy making ends meets that they may not have time to exercise. All these are excuses only validate unhealthy lifestyles, but the truth of the matter is, you don’t need to be rich to exercise and keep healthy. You don’t also have to be working a flexible job in order to exercise and lead a healthy life, it all boils down to planning and prioritising.

You can take up walking in the park as part of your one hour workout, combine this with a series of sit-ups and push-ups every day.
