These days, we all want to save money, even when it comes to fitness. Maybe you're trying to make your running shoes and sports bras last a little longer, or maybe you've even had to cancel your gym membership. Just because your wallet might not be as fat as it once was, doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your skinny midsection.

"RecessionWire" has some brilliant suggestions for getting fit on the cheap, no gym required. And no, I'm not talking about parking far away at the grocery store, or running more outside. As the article points out, if that worked for you, you probably wouldn't have joined a gym in the first place, right?

For the full list, you'll need to visit "RecessionWire," but I'm excited to share some of the more surprising (to me, at least) suggestions here!

• Miss your fancy gym's yoga class? Try downloading a yoga workout from Yoga Download.
• Or, try your community's rec center. You might be shocked at how affordable and accessible classes, gyms, and pools become. Your city's parks department might offer all kinds of fitness opportunities for a fraction of the price you'd pay for a health club.
• Do some creative shopping. Garage sales and second-hand shops could offer the exact equipment you want (often barely used!) for a ridiculously-low price. People who buy this equipment and don't use it really just want it out of their homes!
