I am in college and need to fly back and forth every year so I'm trying to get a small "mini home gym" going that is also quite inexpensive. I do have access to a great gym but sometimes I dont really feel like going to it for whatever reason so I'm trying to put together a really compaq but effective set.


Right now I am borrowing someone's Fitness/Swiss ball (comes with a pump) and some free weights. I must say that I did not think I was going to be able to get a good workout out of this but I was completely wrong.

So where do you guys recommend I get a swiss ball (w/ the pump) and what size???

Also, how much are free weights (avg per pound?)

Finally, I want to buy an eagle claw (to work forearms).. but I cant seem to find them online.

I might also get a mat or something like that...

Any other suggestions for things I could get?? I think the swiss ball pretty much makes up the entire workout for me.

anyone?......

i would recommend the perfect pushup...Link, you can check it out there but i would recommend buying them somewhere else like wal-mart to get them cheaper
