I'm just doing free excercise videos right now. Have no equipment.

If you had $40 to spend max what would you buy?

What's the one or two pieces of cheap budget equipment that will benefit me most in my journey? Working out in bedroom by the way.

    Jump rope, exercise bands and and a pull up bar (the kind you put over the doorway). I use the exercise bands to assist with the pull up. You can use the thickest band at first and once you get stronger you can use a thinner one. The exercise bands can be used all different ways.

    Try 5 Below. For about $5 each you can get yoga mats, 10 lb kettlebells, 10 lb med ball, some dumbells and exercise bands. I might get a jump rope on Amazon for like $15. Five below stuff is not great quality but for $5 it does the job.

    Exercise bands, exercise ball (the big inflatable Swiss-ball type thing, with a pump - get a burst-resistant one), weighted ball or kettlebell or dumbbells (but the latter are $$ still right now).

    What do you have, and what kind of exercises do you enjoy?
    I would say a good, thick workout mat if you don't have one. Depending on your flat maybe a pullup bar. On the other hand you could:
    * use a towel to do door handle/top of door rows
    * use a random corner or two kitchen tops to do dips
    * use a bench of sorts to do seated dips and various core exercises
    * use something to hang from for pullups
    * and whatever you can come up with or read about online.

    The ad came out a couple weeks ago, but if you have an Aldi in your area you might find some Crane Fitness equipment.

    Resistance bands, Mat, Kettlebells, Exercise ball, etc. Last year I picked up a nice step bench for $9.

    Since I'm a swimmer, probably some goggles, swim caps, and maybe some anti-chlorine conditioner :-)

    There"s NOTHING that I currently need or want in the way of fitness gear that would cost only $40.

    Good luck w/that!
