Ways to stay fit in London

One of the best ways to stay fit in London is good old fashioned running. Not only does it help you stay fit mentally and physically, but it keeps your budget in check too. Most of the gyms are so expensive that just walking in the door means you lose weight from not being able to afford to eat! Between rent, commuting and just generally living, joining a fancy, flashy gym with all of the bells and whistles costs a fortune.

Living in London is stressful. The traffic is crazy, the taxis are everywhere. Just to cross the street seems so dangerous sometimes. And everyone is in a big hurry, rushing to work or home or to the bus stop or the airport. No one is ever moving at a leisurely pace, even on the weekends, unless they are tourists, and then they are just in the way. And everything is so expensive.

If you are looking for a place to have fun indoors, London has plenty of amazing options.

A fun, exciting group activity is bowling. There are several bowling alleys in the area which provide a great social atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, while allowing you to engage in fun competition with friends. It’s also a great workout!

If you are more interested in team sports, you have many choices available for that as well.

Cycling around London is great for a lot of reasons. First of all is the money. It’s great for the environment, and traffic and all, but most importantly, if you live in central London, you are probably spending most of your money on rent. A bike is the best way to cut out so many other costs, like parking, car payments, insurance, tickets, maintenance and fuel. Those are the obvious.
