How to work out
Step 1
Decide what you will cut out – consider making your own smoothies instead of buying them, for example. Commit to saving the money you’d usually spend.
Step 2
Transfer this amount to a safe place every time you resist temptation. Keep the card where you can see it, like on the fridge, as a daily reminder.
Step 3
Scratch off a jewel every time you save money to track your progress.
And when you’re ready, try another workout that suits your circumstances.
