  Consider a resistance band. Not only is this exercise equipment perfect for a small apartment, you can easily roll it up and pack it in your bag when you go on vacation. Some work by attaching to a door, while others work while you stand on them.

  Get some free weights that you can easily stick in your closet or under you bed. Not all exercise equipment needs to have moving parts. If you need an aerobic workout, try increasing the speed in your weight routine.

  Buy a small stair stepper or lateral thigh trainer. This type of exercise equipment does take up space, but you can actually find some that only take up about 3-4 square feet. The best part: you can move it in and out of your storage closet when you are done working out.

  Think about buying a workout video if you are extremely short on space. Not everyone needs exercise equipment to become fit. All you need is to move your body, increase your heart rate, and work up a sweat.
