Best Ways to Improve Your Health Without the Gym

Whether it’s the increasing costs of gym memberships or simply not having the time, there are plenty of ways to look after yourself in 2024. If you’re looking for a healthy alternative to the gym here’s a look at some great ways to improve your health.

Vitamins

While you may have seen all the standard vitamins available in your local shops, in 2024 there are new and improved options to consider. Brands such as Get Nourished ask you to fill out a questionnaire about your current health and goals to help create a customised vitamin. Not only that, it actually comes as soft chewable sweets so it’s not exactly a choir to eat. While the cost of these vitamins is around £30-£40 they’re designed to help give you the exact nutrients you need to hit your goals.

It’s also a great substitute for people who are too busy to eat the right food everyday. There tends to be offers available for the first few months so it’s great to trial this innovative product!

Food Sensitivity Tests

Another innovative service to improve your health is food sensitivity tests. You send samples to the brands and they test them to identify which foods might be causing you discomfort. Often certain foods that you eat on a regular basis can cause bloating, fatigue, tiredness and other inconveniences that could be avoided. While the test can be fairly expensive at around £100, it’s a one off payment that can change the way you think about food!

Running Clubs

If the cost of the gym is something you’re looking to save on then joining a local running or exercise club is a great option. Usually you can find a running club in the city on Facebook or on a local forum, it’s also a good way to stay motivated and push yourself a little further by keeping up with the pack!

Plan Out Your Month

Sometimes it’s easy to just spend the weekend lounging around the house in a full tracksuit, but making plans with friends and family makes sure you don’t waste your days off! Walks, finding the latest local event and going out for food are great ways to help your physical and mental health.

Apps

There are plenty of apps to also help with your mental and physical health too. Apps to keep you on schedule with your diet or fitness goals, or you can download apps to help you meditate or cut back on your screen time too.
