No Excuses #2 Money

Potential and often cited excuse #2: Money
Specifically for Training, Eating Healthy and Education

I Don't Have Enough Money To...

Train: This is one of the most annoying things to hear from someone.

You simply do not need a gym or a Personal Trainer to be able to exercise regularly with enough intensity to get results, especially with all the resources available over the Internet. The following videos will illustrate my point fully:

Extreme Example

I can do most of these, however the backflip burpee is beyond me...FOR NOW!

Flow Workout

Go fucking crazy with these, the possibilities are literally endless.

I'm not saying go and train in the middle of a busy city centre, but these guys utilise everything and make it into their own little gym. And when there is nothing but the floor to train on, they use the floor! Some of the workouts these guys come up with are incredibly innovative, and I have often been influenced by very their individual style.

Parkour

He is in his living room for god sake!
Remember, you are always just a few clicks away from innovative/rebranded (coughcrossfitcough)  approaches to exercise using little to no equipment, often not even requiring you to leave the comfort of your own home.

And here's me rolling around again.....

Eat Healthy
I'm sorry but this is unacceptable. I've  heard this excuse too many times to keep quiet about it now. I'm just going to use one example to show that you can at least eat healthier on exactly the same budget.

So we can immediately see with this one example that a healthier alternative to what you are eating is always possible when you actually shop around and take the initiative with an open mind to trying new things. To hear people say they can't afford to eat healthier is so so frustrating because it just isn't a valid excuse, not for one second.

I got literally the nicest bunch of banana's I have ever eaten for 20p the other day, from a big name supermarket as well.

Remember, if you eat shit, then you will look and feel it LIKE SHIT and you only have yourself to blame.

Further My Education:
In a less ranty tone, I'd just like to share the following websites which offer completely free, well-recognised University courses that have literally opened up a world of possibilities to me in the last few months.


www.coursera.org





I am currently enrolled to about half a dozen free courses through this website, and thus far, they have never failed to deliver. And all for free. This is amazing.

https://www.edx.org/courses

I haven't signed up for any courses through this website as I only discovered it yesterday through the courera discussion forum, but I will certainly be looking into it in the future. Again, a wonderful free resource that just proves again, that THERE ARE ALWAYS OPTIONS, WAYS AND METHODS of getting wherever you want to go with your life.

Free and less expensive stuff (often of higher quality than you pay for) is everywhere, it is just a matter of looking.

Currently working through this as well...

No excuses!
