Free as in towel

I guess technically a towel is not free, unless you stole it from Holiday Inn on your last va-ca.  But admit it, mixing up your free work outs with something I hope you already have around the house doesn't sound like a bad idea, does it?


Adam Dachis over at Lifehacker has found a couple of very good YouTube videos to get you started on a towel workout.  The first video uses towels to create resistance, and the second uses it in the exact opposite way, to make you slide, and in turn need to strengthen your core muscles to stabilize yourself.



This looks like an excellent way to mix things up a little bit in your routine, and lets face it, we all need to mix it up a little!

Surprisingly Effective Workouts You Can Do with a Towel in 20 Minutes or Less

The Zombies will get you if you don't RUN!

Ok, this is not exactly free, but I could not help it, its too awesome!  Lifehacker ran an article the other day about a new iOS app called Zombies, Run!

"Zombies, Run! is a pretty great idea. Instead of escaping the hordes of the undead from the safety of your couch, the app pairs the survival story with your music to motivate you to run."

Android users: Zombies, Run! is headed your way soon.


I will not go into much more detail because, as I mentioned, this is not free, and besides,  Adam Dachis did an awesome write-up already, so I will refer you to him:
