I used my blanket as a exercise mat (of course not the one i sleep with) I know the mats are cheap, but I never seem to remember to buy one! hahaha Do you use other things like soup cans or any of that or am I the only one?? hahaha

    I also use youtube as a source for my cardio vids instead of going out and buying them :ohwell:

    I think I have used soup cans as weights before. I have a bike trainer and the back wheel is jacked up about 4 or 5 inches and along with the trainer they were selling a "bike stabilizer" or something to even the height of the front wheel.

    Please...I use a phone book under the front wheel, and added my "housebuying for dummies" book when I found it wasn't high enough. Saved myself $14 bucks.

    WOW! I never even thought of using soup cans! How crazy would it be to see me walking my usual walk with soup cans? Thanks for the great idea!

    Innovation as a way of saving money is GREAT! $5 here, $10 there, and another $20 there adds up! Use water bottles, too!

    Before I bought my weights,

    I use to use gallons of milk for weights.

    I use to use a leather belt to stretch my muscles.

    I use to do my step aerobics from the edge of the sidewalk down to the street

    I use to do my aqua aerobics at the beach.

    I use to use the edge of my chair to help me squat all the way down.

    I found many ways to exercise with I was not able to go to the gym.:bigsmile:
