Exercising on a Tight Budget
 

I need to exercise more. I know this...i tell myself this...but then i come up with excuses as to why i shouldn't do it :p I'm sure you've been there. But as i gain more information about weight loss, i'm becoming more and more determined to do what i've been wanting to do for years...lose the chub.

Well, if i had unlimited money and unlimited free time, i'm sure i could join a great gym with my own personal trainer and get this done. But that's very unrealistic for 99% of the population, so i'm coming up with ways to exercise that won't bore me to tears and won't cost another cent. And here's what i've come up with so far:

Fast Walking/Jogging (i live in Florida, so i can do this this time of year ;) )
Bicycling (already have a cycle, just not using it)
Swimming (might have a wait 2-3 months to be able to do this still)
Rebounding (already have a rebounder, also not using it)
Exercise Videos (have several of these too that i've never stuck to)
Elipticle/Tread Mill/Stationary Bike (my apt complex has a little gym)

What else am i forgetting? I want to switch it up and do something different each day so that i don't get so bored with it. And i also want to see results (obviously). My goal is to be fit by my best friend's wedding in June...do you think that's feasible? Wish me luck!!

I got a cheap fitness ball from Wal Mart for $11!! It's awesome and comes with a chart of exercises!! It's a great way for strength... and get soem hand weights (You can pick up little 2-5 pounders CHEAP anywhere!) and use the fitness ball as a workout bench too!

Oh yeah! I forgot that i had a few hand weights already...1-3 pounders i think...i'll make use of those as well :) I've never seen anyone use one of those exercise balls...is it easy to learn how to use them correctly? Thanks for the advice! :)

You really have a pretty nice selection of exercise things to fool with. You'll have fun.
