I have been working out at home for years (on and off)
This is what I use the most: full set of dumbells (25, 20, 15, 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 3, 1 pound paris), a straight barbell and a curly barbell, plates for my barbells (in increments of 1.25, 2.5, 3, 5, 10 pounds), bands, aerobic step, small step, and my fancy schmancy elliptical machine, exercise mat. This is the stuff I use on a nearly daily basis.
What I have that I don't use as much; just bought kettleballs but haven't figured out how to work them into my workouts (one 5 pounder, one 12 pounder, and two 15 pounders), one of those big workout balls, medicine ball, ankle weights, miscellaneous other crap I've picked up throughout the years that I don't use very much and can't remember!0 -
I know it sounds like a lot of stuff - but most of the stuff you buy once and it lasts forever. I think I bought most of my weights over 15 years ago. My bigger weights are the cast iron ones but the smaller ones are coated. After a while the coating starts flaking off. I'd definitely recommend just buying plain cast iron weights. They're not pretty, but at least they don't flake off!0

Elliptical (worth it IMO! and it's much quieter than the treadmill so I can watch TV with my husband while I work out. Never have to worry about going to the gym or it being cold or dark outside)
One of those giant blow up balls (sorry forgot the name) that I use to do ab exercises
A 10 and 20 lb kettlebell
5, 8, and 20 lb dumb bells0 -
I have a spin bike in my office (in my home). Other than that I run outside and go to the gym for weight training. I suck at working out at home...0

running shoes, and pretty much sums it up.
Not trying to be snotty. It's just that I've never bought any exercise equipment before, because I know how much I would use it (ie - once, and then never again). I'm kinda working up to this exercise thing, so I started with walking and running.0 -

I turned my detatched garage into a gym. I have a bench, decline bench, 300lbs of plates, dip/pull-up station, heavy bag, speed bag, double end bag, dumbbells from 10-45lbs, tv/dvd player for cardio vids, ankle weights, a dip belt (for weighted chinup-dips), a "band station" that I "built", and a bulgarian training bag.
All accumulated over several years... still need a squat rack.

A door, a sturdy table, some chairs, a yoga mat. And a copy of Body By You (or You Are Your Own Gym). You can easily find information online about bodyweight exercises. If you really get into strength training(lifting weights), you can always invest in equipment if you find yourself wanting.
I also jog/walk and take yoga classes for something more relaxing and gentle on myself.0 -
