What is the best and most reasonable and minimal exercise equipment for a home gym?

Q: Hi everyone,My current gym is getting a bit expensive, especially to commute since its so far away.So, I’ve been thinking of buying equipment to workout at home. I don’t have much space for bulky equipment so what would you recommend to include in my home gym? Also I’m working on a budget.Thank you

A: I’ve been through the same thing. I started off with a set of dumbells from Walmart for about $15 and just did body resistance (crunches, push ups, dips using the bed, etc.) as well as dumbell exercises (theres so many of them!). This and running outside kept me busy for atleast three months. After that I decided to look into getting a bench. Check your local paper! I found a used set which includes a bench, bar, 200+ pounds of weight, a curl up bar, and two adjustable dumbells for only $100 off of someone. This is about $450 worth of equipment. I still run outside, but if it is cold or hot where you are, you might want a bike. They are smaller and cheaper than a treadmill, and in my opinion, better because they are easy on the knees.

What’s the safest home exercise equipment for the house that is safe when you have a very sneaky Toddler?

Q: So i was thinking on buying a exercise bike or a treadmill but i have no idea which would be better to have around a 2 year old boy and to get a good workout, please help, Thanks in advance, any suggestions on any other exercise equipment is welcome, so tho in your own thoughts , again Thanks in advance.

A: I understand your concern, I’ve heard of children getting their fingers caught in treadmills etc. I don’t know what your child’s schedule is like, but if it’s possible to do your routine while he is taking a nap that’s a thought. Another possibility is to exercise with your child with no equipment involved, such as going for a walk, throw on some music and dance around the living room with him. As far as another piece of equipment the elliptical machine is very good. Hope I helped with ideas.

What is a good piece of home workout equipment for a small apartment?

Q: I’m a single mom living in a small apartment with very limited time/resources to get exercise in during the winter. Tried the gym but my son didn’t do well in the daycare and I don’t have a regular babysitter. Love to jog but it’s getting too dark too early to jog after work and too cold in the morning on the weekends to jog with the baby in the stroller. Looking for suggestions for home equipment I could purchase that isn’t too big.Just to clarify, I loved the gym and would have stuck with it if my son would have been able to stay in their daycare or if I had someone regularily watch him. But that didn’t work out and the gym became expensive to keep up when I wasn’t able to go very often.

A: I agree about the dvd’s………Tae Bo for example is good.
