Easy!: Mat, barbells or dumbbells, slant board, and an exercise bike (or your outdoor bike fitted to a magnetic or hydraulic flywheel indoor trainer-this combo is less than a good indoor bike. All you need is music! get a heart rate monitor and don't let the equipment sit there! alternatives included workout videos, but you will not become comprehensively as fit!
