    Since you're on a budget, you could get a lightweight jacket to use as an outer layer to block the wind and protect you from precipitation. Not to keep plugging Walmart, but they currently have their windbreakers on clearance. I have 2 of them and have been pleasantly surprised by their ability to keep me warm when layered over a long sleeve top. And they're not terrible to tie around your waist if you need to lose a layer along the way.

    I am in CA and we don't get freezing temps too often where we are. Maybe low 30's occasionally. Mostly in the 40's. I, myself, much prefer the cold weather to exercise in. I hate to be hot when I run, walk, anything. I do wear gloves but mostly they will be gone by the time I get done. I think I am weird!

    I love all the recommendations for some affordable gear to start out in!

    Old Navy's athletic line is surprisingly good quality for the price. Sale stuff is killer--shorts for $7 and bras for $9 the other day!

    I love splurging on running gear because it's so cute, but for simple layering basics, it's great.

    You can use many alternative if you don't afford to go for Gym. Like you can walk in stairs,it is also a good substitute of running. If you like dancing so you can dance 1 hour daily. Dancing is a complete exercise for our each and every body parts.

    Layer! and don't forget hats and gloves! I ran this morning totally underdressed and the last two miles were straight into the wind in which felt like icy needles hitting me. Needless to say, I couldn't feel my ears, hands, or any of my lower body when I got back!
