Many people avoid going to the gym because of membership fees, but at-home workouts can be just as effective with the right equipment. You don’t always need your own squat rack and stair stepper to meet your fitness goals – with this budget-friendly gym equipment, you’ll be saving hundreds while still staying active in the comfort of your home.

Resistance Bands

These lightweight and flexible bands are the perfect equipment for those on a budget. They come with different forms of resistances of light, medium and heavy, allowing you to do a variety of workouts and movements. Some common resistance band exercises include bicep curls, squats, lateral slides, donkey kicks, seated rows and many more.

Yoga Mat

While this purchase isn’t a hardcore piece of workout equipment, it allows you to do exercises virtually anywhere. Take your yoga mat to the backyard and do planks, pushups and more without worrying about the wet, rocky or uncomfortable ground. This is also great for doing ab workouts, stretches or yoga both indoors and outdoors for extra support.

Dumbbells

Purchasing some dumbbells provides you with some staple workout equipment that will last and be extremely effective. These are simple to incorporate into any exercise and can help build up your overall body strength. Depending on the brand and weight, these range in price, but dumbbells are one kind of workout equipment that will last you decades.

Medicine Ball

By purchasing just one or two medicine balls, you can add extra weight to your ab exercises for better results. These weighted balls are usually around the size of a basketball and are easy to grip, making them a great addition to your home gym equipment.

Flat Bench

A workout bench is a multi-use piece of equipment that can be used for cardio, weight, aerobics and more. You can use it for basic exercises, like dumbbell chest press or rows, but it’s also great for jumping and stepping. Flat benches range in price from $45 to $100 depending on the brand and the bench’s features.

Multipurpose equipment like the ones mentioned above are just what you need for effective at-home workouts. If you’re looking to save some money, skip the high-tech machines and choose these affordable and effective items.

An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but we pay it anyway. We can cover your overdrafts in two different ways:

We have standard overdraft practices that are available after your account has been open for 30 days and as long as you maintain your account in good standing.
We also offer an overdraft protection plan, Overdraft Protection Sweep, a link to a savings account. It may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices. To learn more, ask us about this plan.

This notice explains our standard overdraft practices.

What are the standard overdraft practices that come with my account?

After your account has been open for 30 days and as long as you maintain your account in good standing, we do authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions:

Checks and other transactions made using your checking account number
Automatic bill payments

We do not authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you ask us to (see below):

ATM transactions
Everyday debit card transactions

We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction.

If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined.

What fees will I be charged if Peoples Bank of Kankakee County pays my overdraft?

Under our standard overdraft practices:

We will charge you a fee of up to $30 each time we pay an overdraft.
The maximum daily overdraft fee per presentment or item paid using the Overdraft Reserve Program is $150.00 per day.
No per item handling fee will be charged on de minimis overdrafts. De minimis overdraft for this policy means transactions that overdraw your account by $30 or less.
There is an overdraft fee of $5 per day that will be charged beginning the 4th consecutive business day your account is overdrawn.

Nonsufficient funds (NSF) fees - if an item drafted by you (such as a check) or a transaction you set up (such as a preauthorized transfer) is presented for payment in an amount that is more than the amount of money in your account and we decide not to pay the item or transaction, you agree that we can charge you an NSF fee for returning the payment. Be aware that such an item or payment may be presented multiple times by the merchant or other payee until it is paid, and that we do not monitor or control the number of times a transaction is presented for payment. You agree that we may charge you an NSF fee each time a payment is presented if the amount of money in your account is not sufficient to cover the payment, regardless of the number of times the payment is presented.

PAYMENT ORDER OF ITEMS - The law permits us to pay items drawn on your account in any order (for purposes of this section "items" means checks, orders and electronic transactions). To assist you in handling your account with us, we are providing you with the following information regarding how we process those items. When processing checks and orders drawn on your account our policy is to pay lower numbered checks and orders in numerical sequence, but electronic transactions are paid first in the order received. The order in which items are paid is important if there is not enough money in your account to pay all of the items that are presented. There is no policy that is favorable in every instance. If the smallest items are paid first, you may have fewer NSF or overdraft fees, but the largest, and perhaps more important items (such as rent or mortgage payments) might not be paid. However, if the largest items are paid first, your most important items might be paid but it may increase the overdraft or NSF fees if funds are not available to pay all of the items. We think our policy attains a reasonable balance between minimizing additional costs to you and paying your more important items. We encourage you to make careful records and practice good account management. This will help you to avoid creating items without sufficient funds and incurring the resulting fees.
