Agreed! While walking around the neighbourhood with my four year old, I found someone disposing of a skateboard. I grabbed it, and rode around for a bit. I'm hooked again! It has been 25 years since I was in to skateboarding. I bought a new board yesterday, pulled out my snowboarding wrist guards because I need my wrists to make money with a keyboard, and got to work learning my balance all over again last night for about 15 minutes. I'm bringing it to work to ride at lunch. I refuse to die with two young kids because I was too stupid to make exercise a priority.
Personally, I strongly recommend getting a door frame pull up bar and a set of gymnast rings to go with it. This should provide all the equipment you need for a reasonably good body weight resistance training routine.
For cardio, there are many options. Running? You just need shoes and 30 minutes. And you only need cardio once or twice a week.
A little exercise is like a drug. It makes me feel stronger, smarter, more alert. You don't have to go to a gym and bulk up, you just need to start somewhere. Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
