I have been receiving some questions from Unstoppable Fat Loss members who are a bit tight on money and looking for ways to perform their quickie home workouts without breaking the bank and spending their hard earned money on expensive fitness equipment.
In the video below I demonstrate some money saving tips that allow you to perform a great home workout.
Milk Jug Home Workout
There have been a few Unstoppable Fat Loss members who went the first 3 months of the program without investing in any fitness equipment other than a stability ball which you can pick up for under $10 at Walmart or order from Amazon.
In the video above I use two 4 liter jugs of milk to perform a variety of exercises. Each jug weighs approximately 10 pounds. The apple juice cans weigh approximately 3 pounds.
This is a great way to start off especially if you are a beginner. Ideally you want to increase the resistance that you are lifting and progress on a consistent basis. One way to progress with the milk jugs would be to add sand instead of water.
If you find that 10 pounds is too heavy for you and the 3 pound cans aren’t quite enough you could always fill the milk jugs 3/4’s of the way. Just make sure that they are even in weight if you are using the two jugs.
It’s pretty easy to be thrifty and still get in a great workout and live a healthy and active lifestyle
Has this helped you? I’d love to hear from you. Please take a moment to share your comments below.
Keeping It Real,

Great video with the milk jugs.
I made a video the other day with a personal trainer that really likes exercise bands. What do you think of using bands for workouts? I honestly haven’t done any research, but he said they are easier on joints, work your core and allow you to work at more accommodating angles, rather than always working against gravity.
I’d be interested to hear your opinion.
Hi Scott,
My wife and I really enjoyed your video tips. Since saving money for our baby (along with not having hours to spend at a gym) this video, along with your other ones, is a God send !!

All the best to you and family ~

Hi,
Thanks for the video,enjoy watching it. I am going to try this out myself! It looks like a lot of fun too.
Nice video, always good to see different ideas in doing exercises on a low budget. Just goes to show you do not need all the big expensive equipment to get the results you are after.
