    Resistance Bands are inexpensive and provide and easy solution. I also belong to SparkPeople(.com) - they have a nice "learning" page and another with workout videos. Helps give you some direction *and* to do the exercise correctly <-- key to getting the most out of it and not hurting yourself.

    I 've started with just resistance bands and You tube workouts. Then I started investing in bits of equipment ,free weights,barbell,treadmill,kettlebell and I 've got squat rack a month ago .

    With my working hours I find I definitely work out more now then I would if I had to drag my *kitten* to gym so it can be done .

    I also got a weighted hula hoop (that was a random purchase if there was one ),probably burns about 20 cal and bruises like a mother &@$@ but it's fun and gets me moving .

    I have been using Leslie Sansone's walking videos and they are great. I am also buying a set of resistance bands because they don't take up a lot of room like a weight bench, etc...and can be used in a lot of different ways to work different parts of the body...plus they are low impact
    which is what I need at this point. Best of luck to you!

    Thank you! I’m thinking 30 mins 5 Times a week of cardio but having trouble thinking of resistance/strength training for home. The only weights I have are my husbands 50 pound dumbbells and that’s not happening lol

    Planks, push ups, squats, and lunges are just a few that come to mind requiring no equipment. Tricep dips on a chair are another good one
