With school getting busier and winter just around the corner, you might be lacking the motivation to get to the gym, or worse, you don’t even have a membership. Here are a few ways for you to get fit without going to the gym.
Let’s face it, following the same routine at the gym every week can get boring, not to mention the expense of being a member. Even without a membership, there are plenty of activities available to help you stay in shape while having fun at the same time.

Download an app
In addition to the increasing popularity of fitness trackers, there are now many apps available. Fitness apps can provide quick workouts, count how many calories you’ve burned, and keep track of how often you’re moving your feet throughout the day. Since most of us rely so heavily on our phones, a fitness app might be an easy way to help get in a daily workout. A bunch of here at Faze have benefited from using the Nike+ Run Club apps over the last few years, and the FitBit tracking app has its fans here too.

Take the stairs
If you don’t have access to fitness equipment like a treadmill, you can still make use of what you do have: stairs. You can do a variety of workouts on the stairs. Climb up and down a few times, do squats or push ups, use them as a stepping board, and more. Also, remember to take the stairs instead of the elevator at school or work. You’ll be surprised at the intensity (and leg soreness) you achieve from a stair workout!
