Another inexpensive piece of equipment that's great when you're starting a home gym on a budget: an ab wheel.
The ab wheel isn't hard to use. Basically, you start with your hands on the grips, kneel down with both knees together on the floor, lock your arms, and hold the wheel on the floor, at your knees. Then you roll it out, away from your knees, and keep going forward with it until your hands are beyond your head. You shouldn't touch the floor; keeping your body 3-6 inches above the floor is ideal. Then, you return to the starting position by pulling in with your abs and arching your back.
Then do it again, 7-10 more times.
Your abs will be hurting the next day, I guarantee it.
The nice thing about ab wheels is that they're dirt cheap, small and easy to store, and give you a fantastic and surprisingly difficult ab workout.
The one I used:
