Working out indoor, I need advice what equipment to use as replacement to gym equipment
I can't often go to the gym for many factors (weather, time and other matters). Although, I want to continue working out in my apartment instead. Since I'm new in working out to the gym, I am not sure what equipment I should store at home that would help me in working out. Can you advice what equipment should I buy as an alternative equipment to what I used in the gym.
Equipment I used at the Gym:
Bench Press - My room is really small, so, I can't store the bench and the barbel
Squats - I use the cage and the barbel in the gym; And can't store them again.
Cable Row
Abdominal Crunch Machine
Assisted Pull up Machine
Treadmill
Most of this machine are really big and expensive at the same time. I'm looking for an affordable alternatives where I can easily store them under my bed.

Introduction
Some workout alternatives for gym
Also for Treadmill you can use Jump Ropes
Depending on how big/motivated you are, you might have to modify your workout. If your room is too small for a bench, you cannot perform bench-related exercises; however, you can perform other exercises that should compensate for those.
Benchpress focuses on the chest; pushups and (unsure what the name is, but you lie on your back and lift dumbbells from your sides) are alternatives.
Squats can be done anywhere, with or without dumbbells.
Abdominal crunches can be done on the floor.
Pull ups can be done on doors.
Treadmill (to me is a waste of time); get videos such as Insanity or P90X for high intensity exercises.
In this day and age, gym going isn't a necessity for staying in shape.
And always try to read more and staying motivated :).
