In today’s Wellness Minute we share some ways to living healthy without busting your bank account. We cover some cheap workout choices. Some ways to eat out and save money. If you ever stepped inside a Whole Foods you quickly understand why it is referred to as Whole Paycheck. The prices can get up there in a hurry. Now the good news spin on high prices are it forces you to eat less - not beciase you weant to - but because it is all you can afford. So always go for quality - not quantity when it comes to food. And never go shopping when you are hungry. An inexpensive way to try a new restaurant is to go at lunch instead of dinner. And some cheap workouts are running or walking. Also always buy refurbished commercial treadmills for the home rather than a new “home” version. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

In today’s Wellness Minute we give you some great reasons why you should be using a pedometer if you are trying to lose weight. Pedometers are great tools to help you stay accountable and compliant in your exercise. Just putting one on and using it daily will help increase the number of steps by 2000-4000 steps. In order to get the most out of it you have to track your steps each day. The best one to buy costs about $20 and should have an accelerometer.
