Most people want to get into shape, but it seems that getting into shape requires a whole lot of fitness equipment. The problem with this is that fitness equipment can be very expensive, and not all of us can afford to purchase it.

Similarly, not buying fitness equipment and joining a gym, instead, can be very expensive, too. In fact, continually using the fitness equipment at a gym can be more expensive in the long run than buying your own fitness equipment.

Fortunately, not all fitness equipment is expensive. Here are some ideas as to what sort of fitness equipment to buy if you need to save money:

• Running/walking shoes. Alright, so running or walking shoes can actually be relatively expensive – a good pair can cost between $50-150 – but once you have them, it is totally free to walk out to the park or to jog around the track.
• Jump rope. It is amazing how exhausting it can be to jump rope. Of course, the jump rope is not just an exhausting piece of fitness equipment, it can also be very effective and quite fun. You can get a full body workout when using a jump rope. A weighted jump rope will build up the strength in your arms even more. By bringing your knees to your chest as you jump or adding a twist or a kick, you can even strengthen your torso.
• Stairs. Instead of buying a stair stepper machine, try running up and down the stairs at a stadium. Or, instead, you can just us a single step – jump up on the step and then down. You could even incorporate a stepping stool into your workout.
• Canned food. Dumbbells are, oftentimes, one of the least expensive forms of fitness equipment that you can purchase. Nonetheless, why buy any when you can use basic household goods, instead? Use a couple of jars of spaghetti sauce to do some curls, a milk jug for tricep extensions, and some canned beans for a chest press. Just make sure you get a good grip on these pieces of “fitness equipment” – they can be slippery, and you don’t want a workout that ends in a mess of tomato sauce!
• A towel. A towel can be used to complete many stretches. Hold a towel with both hands and place your foot in the middle of it and slowly kick out. Reach behind your head with one hand from a above with towel in hand, and bring up your other hand from below to grab the towel and stretch and pull.
• Music. Turn on some music and start dancing! It is a fun and effective form of exercise.
• Cleaning supplies. Why not get clean floors, spotless windows, and dust-free surfaces while also building up strength in your arms and legs?
• Bicycle. If you already have a bike, get on it and ride it to work and to run errands instead of driving your car. If you don’t have a bike, walk!

As you can see, fitness equipment does not consist of only treadmills and weight machines and other expensive pieces of fitness equipment. If you just look around, you will find many other things that can be used as fitness equipment as well, items that cost very little.
