    I used bags of rice or beans because they were easier to hold. I also would sit in a chair, put a 5 lb bag of potatos on my feet and do leg lifts:laugh:

    Too bad I dont have video!!:laugh:

    You can use any plastic bottle that has a twist top perferbably a 2 litter. For every 1/2 gal. of water you would put in it it would weigh 4 lbs. or you could use a 1/2 gal. milk container and put sand in it.

    You can also use your own body weight - push-ups, dips, squats, lunges, plank, crunches, leg lifts, bicycle, invisible chair, superman, etc.
