I have a variety of fitness equipment in my basement and so far I have been able to improvise and find a substitute for what I lacked. I did not have an Ugi ball, equalizer or sandbag. Making the sandbag was easy. I had a bag of play sand in the garage and I filled 3 ziploc bags with about 6 lbs of sand. I stuffed all 3 bags in a pink backpack. This works well because I can easily pull one of the bags out if the weight is too much. Instead of a T bar, I have a straight barbell. I have 30 lbs on mine and have been able to use that for every exercise without having to switch out weights (10 seconds is not much time). Instead of the Ugi ball, I either use the sandbag, bosu or medicine ball, depending on the exercise.Instead of the equalizer, I am either doing the exercise on the floor, using a chair or substituting an exercise. I hope to have my equalizer made by next weekend. But until then, I have options. You can also find other homemade equipments ideas here http://www.bodyrock.tv/2013/10/08/home-equipment-ideas/
