I want to go to gym, but it is rather expensive and takes too long to travel to the nearest gym. Running and skiing in the winter season helps me to stay in good shape. I believe, skiing is one of the best activities for health. All the muscles are involved when you are skiing: lower body, upper body and torso. A well balanced physical activity. Moreover, you do it in the fresh air. You can variate your training exercises from cardio to speed and strength training. If you want to focus on upper body, you can go uphill using only your upper body. The same approach you can do for your legs or torso. In the warm season I use roller skis. It is similar to skis, but with wheels. They are shorter, of course, and technically looks like rollerblades, and you push yourself with poles. The main problem is to find a road with a good asphalt and without any traffic to train on. Undoubtedly, running and skiing can't substitute resistance training, so I do exercises with weights at home, and also I have some primitive exercise equipment on my backyard.
