00:00In a city full of Pilates, boxing, paloxing,
00:04working out can get pretty expensive.
00:06But I'm gonna give you a couple Aqua tips today
00:08about how to work out for free,
00:10sweating in the grass with strangers.
00:13Let's get it!
00:14Hey, guys, this is Aquafina.
00:15Welcome to New York.
00:16This is Ballin' on a Budget.
00:19Forget spending $500 on a personal training gym.
00:24There are over 1,700 parks across the five boroughs
00:27where you can get your blood pumping free of charge.
00:32This is a rare mixtape of my B-Sides from seventh grade.
00:35Makes me feel as sweaty now as it did before I discovered deodorant.
00:42You smell that?
00:43Smells like free fitness.
00:45Actually, that's Prospect Park,
00:47and it smells like Dr. Bernie supporters.
00:51Ah, football.
00:53The international language of sport.
00:55Come on, I got it.
00:55This is called maybe Christy Yamaguchi of soccer.
00:57A little bit of this.
01:02This is why I never made the team sports.
01:08Get fit and help train the next generation of ballers.
01:11Ow!
01:13All right, let me show you how I'm doing this real quick.
01:16Eh, eh, eh, eh.
01:17Okay.
01:20I'm a little tiring right now.
01:22I'm a little tiring right now.
01:48I'm a little tired.
02:17No worries.
02:18Yeah, I worked as if yes, I worked.
02:24A successful workout is all about
02:25that post-workout nutrition.
02:27Here's how I refueled after sweating in the grass.
02:30Wings.
02:32Look what mama got.
02:36See, the thing about chicken is that it's filled
02:39with all kinds of vitamins and zinc.
02:42Viagra, there's so much in a chicken wing.
02:45I smell some skepticism in this table.
02:50Ah, have to get some.
02:54These are really good wings, right guys?
02:57You smell good, Johnny, James?
03:01Joseph.
03:01Joseph, you smell good, Joseph.
03:03So there you have it.
03:04Today I taught you guys how to work out for free,
03:07stay fine, and still save a dime for a post-workout meal
03:11that is delicious.
03:12You know what, I killed it today.
03:13I worked out.
03:14I made some friends that were reluctant at first.
03:17I'm feeling good.
03:18All right, signing off.
03:29Oh, yeah.
03:33Sexy sounds.
03:37Mm-hmm.
03:40What's up?
03:41It's Awkwafina, rapper and comedian from Queens, New York.
03:43The only thing I like more than a New York slice is saving money.
03:47I'm going to take you across the city to ball on a budget.
