Cheapest but most effective equipment?

[LLuDawg]

I'm looking to get some little equipment like dumbbells or something to motivate me to exercise. What should I get that will be most effective and can use to exercise a variety of different body parts? I was thinking of purchasing a stationary bike but I was more interested in lifting weights or something. Thanks!

Get the power rack with some weights. With it alone u can do most compound weight exercises, which makes it very effective.

A weight rack is a good investment that helps you do a lot of exercises. You can also lift milk jugs full of water or sand for initial weight training instead of small 5 or 10 lb dumbbells. There's no need to spend money on treadmills or other cardio equipment when you can walk for free.

Its good to invest in a good pair of running shoes for cardio. For weights, a power rack is a good Muti purpose equipment.

Start off with a pull up bar install at your home will be good enough. Add a push-up handle too. Try using it everyday before committing into something big and bulking.

A workout partner or good workout music could help you be motivated to work out.
Maybe outdoor biking would be less boring for me specially if you would do biking in parks where there are good view of nature.

Hi,

A pair of adjustable dumbells would be a good start. Slowly build it up from there. A weigh bench would be a great addition too.
