There is a great way to get fitness for free. Many schools offer after school and summer programs for the youth, and adults in the community. These programs, youth services, are many times tied to your own bond money. Most taxpayers no longer toss out hard earned dollars, with-out something in return.

As dilapidated gymnasiums deteriorate, school board members are not going to beg for dough. They will however, conjure up a plan tailor made for the taxpaying people. A new complex complete with a pool, weight room, state of the art gym, and more. Who'll reap these benefits, the after school and summer program, community wide.

Don't forget about the existing facilities either. The running track is probably your best fitness for free area alone. Many schools have outdoor handball courts, tennis courts, basketball courts, bleachers (to run), and my favorite- chinning bars.
Take time and explore your community, free fitness exists!
