Garage Sales…
now that I’m looking for some stuff for my personal workout equipment, I can’t find any! Previously, I have found aerobic steps, free weights, benches….all sorts of stuff and now NOTHING. I went to a couple today but no luck! I’ll hit some up tomorrow as well, hopefully I can find something. I need more than my treadmill and 8 lbs weights.
I am really feeling good about my run/walking 2 miles everyday. So I have been doing it since Sunday now and I don’t always want to do it but I know it won’t take me long to get it done. Now don’t laugh but here are my times starting Sunday to finish a mile. I do one mile and then do another. My ankle still bothers me so I can’t run forever!
Sunday 18 mins & 17mins
Monday 17 mins & 18 mins
Tuesday 16 mins & 17 mins
Wednesday 15 mins & 14 1/2 mins
So I know its helping me out, at least with my endurance. My doctor did tell me that I shouldn’t run because of the impact but I don’t have anything else to do. I figure its better to push my ankle a little bit rather than baby it, right? I’ve been sticking with my weights…doing 8lb bicep curls, tricep…but really I need heavier weights. I need to do more squats and stuff. I’m getting there!
Any advice, always welcome!

Well I don’t know how much plan on spending.But for now it seems like all you will need is 40lb db set;20 lbs each and adjustable.In stores it is usually $40 but you may can find them at a garage sale.

Hey cj thanks for the comment. You might want to find a endless band, it will good for rehabing your ankle.

Good luck on the rehab, I’m not sure on this but what about roller blades? Also check craigs list for workout stuff if the garage sales aren’t working out.
