An Exercise and Frugality Hack

by Andy Hough on February 27, 2008

My hack to increase my exercise and reduce my natural gas expense is to turn off my hot water heater.  With no hot water at home I have to go to the fitness center to take a shower.  Once I’m already at the fitness center I might as well exercise.  This solves the problem of getting motivated to exercise and will save me a little money as well.

This is extreme and brilliant – I could never do this but if it works for you, that’s awesome!

Hardcore. Very awesome. I used to do stuff like that when I lived alone. Like I never turned on the lights in the summer… period. You can do that in the desert. Also, there was a sauna in the laundry room which was real close to my apartment and a shower right there. So I would shower at night while I did my laundry.

I’ve thought about taking showers at the gym to save money, but my husband hates showering at the gym! And I’m not willing to do it if he’s not willing to do it. :)
