Great ideas! This is the way I work out too, mostly, although my husband did buy us a treadmill a few months ago.
One more thing: If you want online support, join Fit Mommy on my blog. The meme has been going on for almost 3 years on various blogs and has helped countless moms meet fitness goals.
Sometimes it's been a huge group of women; right now it's a cozy few and with your approach you'd fit right in.
Yup! Another frugal fit mom here! Anytime I'm tempted to buy another dvd, I remind myself about the ones I already have at home.
FYI - You can link this post up at jillconyers.com's Fitness Friday today, and my Motivation Monday linky on Monday.
Off to check out Fitness Mommy!
