Ways to save money while improving your health.

In the new year joining a gym tops many new year's resolutions lists. "Mens Health" magazine has some ways to avoid giving your wallet a workout. Paying as you go instead of monthly can save hundreds of dollars over several years.

Most gym contracts include an automatic renewal clause, so you'll be charged, even if you don't go to gym to workout.

Ask the manager to negotiate terms, or waive the enrollment fee. You might score a better deal in February or March, after the rush of new memberships dies down.
