Why Dexter, fancy seeing you here!
Not getting it... there's nothing science-y...
I'm guessing he's talking about "Dexter" the serial killer on showtime.

Save up and buy adjustable dumb bells.0

I bought the Gold's Gym resistance band set with DVD for under $30. I take it with me when I travel and sometimes use it at home. It's held up for years so far and the workout DVD is great. Really get ya sweating. There's so much more you can do with the bands too. I believe it was money well spent. That leaves you a bit left over to get a decent jump rope too. Get the one with the ball bearings in the handles if you can find it. Might have to look on walmart.com for it.0

I get some of my stuff from Wally World. I recently got Dancing off the Inches DVD set that came with toning bars for about 25 bucks, and they have another one for 20 with out the 1 1/2lbs weights. I also got a few Gold's Gym products to help me loose water weight in my hips and tummy for 10 and 4, respectively. All of these are working out really well for me!0

Cap Barbell workout bars... I got a couple for Mom's Day as well. I've been focusing on doing more lifting - these bars are great for just 'free lifting' but also press one up when doing squats, put one behind your neck (across shoulders) when doing lunges... they come in all different weights (from 5lb to 20lb)

Jump rope (some of the best cardio), resistance bands (great strength training that you can customize), yoga mat (comfort for core exercise), maybe some new workout clothes too, and you should be able to get it all for under $50.00 there0

I have an elliptical bike and a mini trampoline that I got at wal mart. I do the bike when I cant go outside and walk. It switches things up a bit0

Honestly, you might be better off spending that money on something else. Better quality fitness equipment can be found used on craigslist for less money. Why not check it out?
I bought a gold's gym elliptical from Walmart, I was skeptical at first so read tons of reviews all over on the equipment etc.
It is a nice piece of equipment for paying around $250. So sometimes they do have a pretty good quality. I love it and have had no issues. I also own a few smaller things like hand weights and resistance bands from there, all in good shape after years of abuse. It all depends I guess.0 -
Hi all!
I got a $50 gift certificate to Walmart for Mommy's Day! I want to get some equipment or tools to help in my journey. Do you have any suggestions?
I was looking at this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Drive-Medical-Deluxe-Folding-Exercise-Peddler-with-Electronic-Display/12248733
but not sure how great of a work out I'd get.
The only things I currently have are 4lbs weights and a 4lbs kettle bell.
Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks!

protein powder (I like their body fortress brand)
vitamins

I'd say DVD's as well but lately I've been taking advantage of all the free work outs on youtube0 -

Hahaha, so apparently my suggestion was a little creepier than I though. Seriously, a good duffel bag, some duct tape to reinforce it, and then fill it with varying amounts of sand... and you have a good, cheap lifting system. Sure, you won't be doing 250# squats, but you could do 80.0 -

Yeah, sorry, it immediately put me in mind of those scenes where Dexter goes to the hardware store... Don't forget the plastic wrap!0 -

This makes for a great workout!
I so want a heavy bag! But my husband is already scared that I have Everlast boxing gloves that I bought for my kickboxing class. LOL. He won't let me try on him any moves that i learn. LOL.
But I would try for some basic things that have been mentioned already first: dumb bells, jump rope, yoga matt, exercise ball, etc.0 -
Balance balls focus heavily on your stabilizer muscles. A very excellent tool for strengthening your core if you're using it right. And yes, you fall off the ball quite frequently when you're starting. Just make sure you're not exercising near sharp objects.
Yeah, but you could just do yoga... more functional and does not require a gigantic, uncollapsible piece of equipment.
A cubicle mate of mine used to sit on one instead of a chair and it went down one day. I was standing there talking to her and it starting going down- not really fast, but fast enough she looked very surprised and let out a yelp. Of course that ruined it for all of us that wanted to do the same thing, safety concerns and all.0 -

Oops.
How about a stability or medicine ball?0 -
Take that 50 dollars and use it for food. Lean meats, fresh fruits and veggies.0

I love their exercise clothes, the Danskin brand. I don't pay ridiculous amounts for exercise clothes (like $50 for some Nike pants, I just cant justify it! My shoes are a different story, lol)0
