When the possibility of losing your job creeps into your thoughts, it is time to review your expenses. Inevitably, some people look at their gym memberships or personal training sessions as an easy way to reduce spending while enduring the economic doldrums gripping our society. Farcically, people tell themselves they will do it at home on their own. For many, the reality is that the exercise ceases and a sedentary lifestyle ensues. Be honest and stop the cycle of lying to before it can start. Exercise reduces stress and few things are more stressful than job loss or insecurity. Therefore, there is a greater need for an exercise as an outlet. Realize from all angles that if cutting expenses is necessary, that you can survive some fitness cuts, but will find an equivalent amount from other sources to equal what you need to reduce.
