How would you change your exercise routine if you couldn't afford a gym membership? Would you do anything different?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I don't go to gym because I have a sensitive nose and I dislike the smell of sweat and bleach together. You can stay in shape with 2 free weights. There are loads of body-resistance exercises you can do.
Best exercises that are all-rounders are skipping rope and burpees. There is a radio show in our country that promotes a 'get a six pack' routine. I guess it is aimed at guys, but it's body resistance training so girls can do it too:

You can actually get a full body workout at home with a few dumbells, your bed, and a door. You can work out your arms with the dumbells, you can lay down on your bed diagonally so your head is at the corner and bench press with dumbells or free weights, you can also work out your lats by bracing a knee and elbow on the side of your bed while your torso is almost parallel to the ground and pulling dumbells towards your body with your free arm, you can do pullups by on a door by grabbing the top and pulling yourself up, you can get leg workout by doing jumping squats with dumbells, lunges, and calf lifts. Who needs a gym anyways?

If i join a gym it would have to be a top notch one. I'd treat it as an event and day out. My routine would be include.
1. A top pre-workout meal at the gym
2. (Workout as normal)
3. Post workout snack like peanut butter and jam sandwich
4. Then relax properly in a sauna or steam room
I actually talked a lot about this in recent posts. Either way that is the perfect way i would change it if i had a membership at a TOP gym.
