Two ways to save money on your Autumn heating bills


Foraging logs and kindling in the forestry ( yes I got permission!)

Here are my two Eco-Fitness top tips for saving money this Autumn on heating bills.

1. Go out for a brisk walk or a run every day. You will generate so much heat, that you could save at least an hour a day on electricity/gas/oil/wood/coal this autumn. The heat you generate stays with you for a while after you return home. While the nights are still light, enjoy an evening walk instead of settling in front of the television snacking on comfort foods! You'll get just as big a serotonin hit.

2. Forage and chop your own logs if you have an open fire or log burner. If you don't have a fireplace, why not enjoy a couple of autumn evenings with friends around an outdoor fire in a fire pit or brazier (fire basket). Foraging and chopping are labour intensive exercises which keep you naturally fit and slim, just as nature intended. And fire is really enjoyable at this time of year when we are pining over the disappearance of the summer sun!
