This is a belated mini-resolution, seeing as there\u2019s too much pressure in January generally, and I\u2019ve been full of germs. Without further ado, I give you Free Fitness February.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seriously, in order to spend nothing you need to already own sports gear, a decent pair of trainers and ideally some waterproofs.

Ideally I\u2019m aiming for a happy medium between:<\/p>\n
