Angry AUGGGGH! closed my gym Monday

Yikes! What am I going to do now? I live in a very rural area and the only gym within 30 miles closed Monday. I don't have any money to buy exercise equipment. I guess I will have to hit the pavement and walk. Ok so I'm feeling sorry for myself.

Good Luck Effie.

Do you own a bike? Walking/jogging would be good exercise. Maybe purchase some cheap workout videos?? I recently bought a few vcr tapes from the Dollar Store here, a buck each...Richard Simmons... I think hes a hoot...hehehe...Hope this helps.

Thanks for the ideas. I think I am going to break down and buy a treadmill (on credit card), as well as a couple videos. The winter weather here is a bit rough to do much walking. I don't know how long the gym will be closed and I will use the monthly cost of the gym to pay for the treadmill. The only thing I will miss is the pool. I was doing water aerobics twice a week.
