As the chillier weather starts to sneak in, it becomes more difficult to follow through with a healthy fitness routine – staying in bed is unmeasurably more comfortable than mustering the courage for a workout, especially when it’s cold.
You’ve got to have the motivation to push through – that’s why guided classes are great. They keep us accountable, and they often end up being lots of fun. Plus, the reward of smashing a fitness class is always a bonus.
Finding a form of fitness that you love (and in turn, stick to) requires trial and error, playing with different forms of movement and finding the one you most enjoy.
To help narrow down the options, here are 4 fitness bargains to cash in on in South Africa:
