One of the easiest ways to save money and resources is to buy major workout gear second-hand. Many people buy brand new treadmills or exercise bikes only to let them sit gathering dust, and will be more than happy to sell them via Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace at a savings of 50 percent or more over buying new. 

Buying second-hand is a money-saving strategy that reduces waste by reusing existing equipment and reduces carbon emissions by going local rather than having items shipped from a big-box store!
