Adjust your thermostat（恒温器）to save on heating and cooling costs. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}In summer, set your thermostat to 78 ℉when you're at home and raise the temperature when you're away.

Try running your clothes through an extra spin cycle to remove even more water from the clothes. This will make them dry quicker.

Cross train. As we said earlier, running is hard on your body. So physical fitness experts suggest some form of cross training to improve muscle balance and to help you stay injury free. They say swimming, yoga, and riding a bicycle are good exercises to combine with running. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
