Fit and Thrifty!

Keeping fit can be so expensive!!! I love that I have my own space at home for a basic home gym but there are so many exercises I'd love to try at home that I can't do without the right equipment.

New project!!! I'm going to start making my own equipment.

I found a few websites that have instructions on how to make different types of equipment and in theory it will be cheaper (saving money would be my purpose after all).

My first project will be a heavy bag so that I could do some boxing training at home. Next will be the stand for it but I would also love to make a pull up bar.
