Default 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 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!

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

At www.stumptuous.com click on 'iron'. Krista has tons of things there that you can do, with or without the things you have.
