Cheap Home Workout Equipment

Heather said: "I thought I'd put together a list of relatively inexpensive workout equipment that you can use at home. If anyone else has suggestions, please post 'em up! 1. Walking Shoes. (You need them anyhow!) 2. Jumprope. (Skipping rope burns a lot of calories, believe it or not!) 3. Resistance Bands. (Simple to use for resistance training) 4. Medicine Ball. (Ones with handles make it easier to work triceps) 5. Balance Ball. (You can do a bunch of different exercises with this one)"

Scarlett said: "Hand weights!! They are very inexpensive, the ones I have were only $4 each, the bigger they get the more expensive they get, but it's nothing that'll break your budget."

vderilus said: "The balance ball is the best!! I have one and it really pushes me...also pilates work out tapes at home are great for shaping up and you will see the inches literally melt off...."

missred said: "I love the balance/stability ball. There are tons of things you can do with one! I also think hand weights are important. I have a set of 3 lb and a set of 5 lb for now. A simple kitchen chair is great too. I use mine for tripcep dips, stability for squats and to rest my arms on when I do leg lifts (otherwise known as "butt busters!")"

I have a set of hand weights, but for some workouts I actually will still use 2 cans of beets because my shoulders aren't very stong, and even my light weights cause me intense problems."
