Good luck with your goals!
Ha! I'm glad to see you got the joke! My set up is pretty darn spartan. I hope that I can get my camera fixed. I'll post some photos....it's pretty scary! The kids aren't allowed down there!

The spartan ghetto style fitness is kind of a theme. I'm at a point in my life where I'm paying some dues to set my family into a better position long term. With three little ones, including a newborn, I have no money....no money...left over to spend on fitness related stuff. I'd love to pick up every book or DVD that I can get my hands on, but its not feasible. I can't go out and buy new gear. So far my entire home set up cost me less than $100. I don't have chalk. But, when it crosses my mind that I need chalk I just reach down and grind my hands into the dirty unfinished basement floor and pick up enough dirt to help my grip.

I can't afford to be a fitness enthusiast....but, I can't afford not to either! I hope that I can find some others in my boat. Perhaps we can share penny pinching tips!
