Assuming that you desire good health along with a fantastic figure, but aren't exactly rolling in money, here are 5 suggestions on ways to afford the home exercise equipment you require for your strength training workout. Cheap fitness equipment can meet your workout requirement for decades.

1. Rely on your body. You aren't cheap--nevertheless you can successfully use your whole physique to grow your strength and physical fitness without devoting a solitary added penny. Working with your body needs resistance and repetition. Studies have shown that large numbers of repetitions with smaller weight/less resistance will develop at least as powerful muscles as working with ever increasing weights or resistance. Look on the Net for "body only" work out routines, but be cautious to choose those recommended by actual authorities. This will include physical therapists and certified personal trainers. Don't ever settle for an unrecognized source when pros are readily bestowing their knowledge--scot-free.

2. Invest a bit (less than $20) in a solid, sturdy workout mat (not merely a yoga mat). A mat is not vital, but it will make you more comfortable, which may well keep you working out. It might potentially reduce the chances of repeated-stress injuries. A doctor visit can set you back way more than a good mat. Besides, the mat will moderate any sounds you make. That may make you more popular with any neighbors you have--particularly those below you.

3. Purchase 3 or 4 resistance bands or tubes. Each color of the rainbow provides a different resistance--the darker the shade the greater the resistance. You should start with three--yellow, red, and, most typically, green. The ones for arms will require less resistance than leg movements. If these are too wimpy after a while, just double them. These resistance bands/tubes run between $7 and $15 each. Scan the Web or sporting goods stores. Used ones may have lost their strength and durability.

4. Add a fitness/exercise ball to your home exercise equipment inventory for about $23. These balls not merely give range to your workout session, they give substantial core strength and build balance beautifully. You can do just about every "body only" motion on/with the ball--with a great deal of difficulty! A shopping hint: look thoroughly at any balls at a second-hand sporting goods shop. A brand-new ball with an air pump, 2 replacement plugs, and a DVD sells for only $2 more new than they were selling at the resale store without the pump, plugs, and DVD.

5. Consider a more substantial ($100-$150) investment in a short series of sessions with a personal fitness instructor from a close fitness center--consider your city recreation and YMCA centers for competitively priced services. It might not seem to go with the "cheap" part of this advice, but it could be really worth it. He/she will show you ways to safely and effectively make use of just the gear you have. You can maximize your equipment resources and your strength training endeavours. Again, you might spend so much more should you develop any type of health issues from inadequate technique--easy to do, if you are only looking at Web videos and puzzling out line drawings.

What about heavy metal--dumbbells and barbells? Dumbbells are worthwhile, but you don't need them, particularly when you're on a tight budget. Barbells are not safe to use without a spotter. Additionally, barbells are not needed in the average person's home gym; the average man or woman is not involved in body building. Moreover barbells are typically overkill in strength training for women.

Abide by these tips--perhaps over the duration of 3-4 months--and you will possess an inexpensive (but not really cheap in its worst meanings) and effective setup for your home exercise equipment.
