I'd like more, but I'm broke

the time but dont anymore... also kids and pets kept getting in the way of

the skis. like amanda said, dumbells have been the best pieces of equipment

I have two bicycles...a universal cheapey thing, and a stair-stepper....

Nothing compared to Tae-bo in my opinion.... I can't get into any other

workouts besides videos!

I have a great Weider home gym that I bought at Wal-mart three years

ago for around $200. It's still in fantastic shape and I use it5

days a week. It is sturdy and dependable.

Free weights are inexpensive and don't wear out easily. Get a

weight bench at Wal-mart or in the classifieds and you won't be

spending a fortune. I've had mine for ages and they are still great

even with frequent use.

I have a Sears treadmill that I bought at a garage sale for $60. It

sells for around $800 new. It is also a sturdy, much-used piece of

equipment that has lasted very well.

Exercise bikes are a different story. I burn out the bearings on

them from riding them so much. They only last a year or two at my

house. I haven't had the money to try buying an expensive one to

see if it would last longer, I just stick with ones under $100 or

from yard sales (that spent their prior lives as clothes racks).

Look in the classifieds section of the paper. So many people buy

nice equipment and then never use it. You can get some wonderful

deals.

God bless!

I have different sized dumbells (from 3 to 20 pounds), 2 body bars

(12 and 15 lbs), 2 barbells with different weight plates, a step

(which dubs as a weight bench), a swiss ball, a rebounder, push up

bars, yoga props... and my workout DVDs and videos!!! Surprisingly,

what I use the least is the rebounder. The 2 barbells and body bars

are useful when I'm doing endurance based strength workouts as I can

switch easily from a low weight to a high weight.

I wish I could get a treadmill, but because of space constraints,

it's out of the question for now. I'd also like a real weight bench

as well as a squat rack eventually... when I get a bigger house I

want to set up my own home gym.
