Being the single parent of 3, I am very aware of financial issue and how to integrate workout into your budget. It would be great if you could afford a gym, but in these times, workout falls far down on the totem pole for priority in may peoples budget. But there are a lot of low cost alternatives.
You can utilize the use of magazines ( Oxygen, Health etc.), satellite/cable (fit TV), workout books, or videos, as motivation. I created a workout journal by tearing out example sheets from fitness magazines, by taping workout channels that come free with my programming, and buying workout DVD's at pre-owned bookstores.
If I do have an opportunity to work with a trainer, I mark it in that journal, and re-do that routine at a later date. Then you have another workout routine to follow at a later date( of course you miss the trainer getting after you to work harder..but it still works).
