[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really dumb question here (I am not the OP, but in a similar spot - returning to exercising again after long hiatus and 3 kids), is there any strength training I can do without buying weights?  Running is easy and cheap - just go to the local HS track and run.  What can I do that similarly convenient for weights/strength?  Anything?[/quote]

+1  I'd like to know this too. Would prefer to avoid joining a gym, although i worry I may injure myself using free weights incorrectly.[/quote]

Do bodyweight exercises, if done right they are everything you need in your case.  Take a chair and do dips with your arms, works the triceps and shoulders, put one leg back on chair and do squats.  Lay on the ground on your back and do single hip bridges.  Those three exercises are a good base to work from,  Maybe even pushups and pullups if you want more upper body exercises.

Should bodyweight exercises not be enough look into kettlebells, a legit form of weightlifting, kinda like dumbells but more versatile.  And there is "sandbags" where you can use as an alternate to weights.  Google them if interested.  [/quote]
