Free Health Care
'"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"...
To keep those nasty medical bills at bay, get into shape. You don't need to join an expensive health club either. Grab a partner (or go solo) and get outside for a walk. You can purchase an inexpensive pair of hand weights (don't use weights on your ankles... too much stress on the knees!). For added cardiovascular and calorie-burning benefit. Try and work up to about an hour... great fat-burning! Start moderately, drink water before you go (unless you don't mind carrying a water bottle), and don't forget that sunscreen! In the summer, beat the heat by going early... it's gorgeous out in the early morning. Or go after the sun goes down. There are malls that open their doors early for walkers. Mix up your walk by doing some easy/moderate hikes or by finding pleasant neighborhood surroundings.
