My weight. Hi, I'm a 22 yr. old man who lives in Missouri, and I am basically dirt poor. I wonder if anyone has tips regarding a workout without weights...how do I go about doing it?

You may be surprised at the cost of used weights. I moved 5 years ago. We had 600 lbs of plates, 2 long bars, a curl bar. a squat cage, a set of solid dumbbells from 5 to 50 lbs in 5 lb increments.

I advertised it all on Craigslist and got a dozen commitments to buy. Nobody ever showed up. I ended up giving the whole shooting match to my movers.

Recently I made room for lifting with dumbbells. I found a set like I had offered on Craigslist for $500. I wrote the guy and told him when he got tired of the no-shows to call me and I'd give him a hundred bucks. I got them about a month later.

I would have a million dollars now if only I had only followed CNBCs advice...and I had started with a hundred million dollars.
