This TIME OF YEAR it is REALLY easy to make excuses for not going to the gym... it's too cold! it's dark at 4pm! I can't dig my car out of the snow! WELL although I encourage you NOT to make these excuses for yourself... I DO recommend you have a few pieces of KEY EQUIPMENT at HOME for those days that you JUST CAN'T make it to the GYM. The ENTIRE HOME GYM below can be yours for UNDER 100 DOLLARS!
1. JUMP ROPE: A jump rope is a cheap, tiny little piece of equipment that helps you burn MEGA calories! You can jump rope with both legs, or jump just hoping on one leg for more of a challenge. Jumping rope is a great way to train your entire body for almost any sport. You can BURN 200 CALORIES in only 15 minutes!

2. YOGA MAT: This can be used for yoga and other fitness DVDs or just for your usual stretching and ab routine. Yoga mat's are inexpensive and take up very little space in your closet.

3. DUMBBELLS: If you're just looking to buy one pair of dumbbells instead of an entire set, I recommend choosing a weight that you can lift (biceps curl or overhead press) 8-10 times without stopping. A great way to get in your strength training at home!

4. CHIN UP BAR: This little piece of equipment can be adjusted to fit into your doorway and taken down when you're done. You can work on your upper body strength with pull ups and your ab strength with leg lifts or knees to chest.

5. SWISS BALL: Probably the single BEST piece of equipment. The swiss ball can be incorporated into nearly any workout move to give your muscles an added challenge.
