In today's economy, corners are being cut all over the place. However, if exercise is a corner you'd like to avoid damaging, you may need to find a way to exercise on a budget. While not every type of exercise requires equipment (hello, walking!), many types do. And even for those exercises that can be done for free, equipment can make them more comfortable (for example, would you rather go for an hour-long walk in sub-zero-degree weather or in the comfort of your home, on a treadmill, while watching some favorite television shows?). Following are two suggestions on where to find a variety of used exercise equipment.
