From A to Z: 26 Ideas for Being Active without Going to a Gym

I love going to the gym. As part of my regular schedule, it actually gets me out of the house and working out. If left to my own devices, I’d find a million and one things to do around the house before getting a workout in…you know, cleaning the bathroom, checking Facebook, etc. For me, the fact that I have to leave my house works.
