Swapped my gym membership for running outside and saved $480 this year

I was paying $40 a month for a gym I barely used, so I canceled it back in January and started jogging on the local trail near my house. Turns out I actually prefer the fresh air and I don't miss waiting for the squat rack at all. Has anyone else found a cheaper way to stay active that worked way better than their old routine?

Saving $480 a year isn't THAT life changing.

You know, @wells.brooke, $480 is like 12 nice dinners out, so it adds up. My sister actually traded her yoga studio membership for doing videos in her living room and now she's way more consistent with it (plus no awkward small talk before class).
