There are many people who want to start working out but who don't necessarily want to spend a lot of money on equipment or on a monthly gym membership, especially in the beginning. Fortunately, there is a lot of cheap exercise equipment available to help you get a great workout.
Exercise equipment can obviously be very expensive. You could spend well over $1,000 outfitting an entire home gym. Alternatively, you could spend just a couple hundred bucks on a cheap treadmill or elliptical machine. (By the way, we don't recommend going cheap on a home cardio machine, if you want to get something like a treadmill or exercise bike, spend the extra money and get something that will last.)
