Best equipment to get for working out at home

Hi all,

Well I do kickboxing 3-4 times a week and it's great for fitness and conditioning and cardio but I'd like to be a little more sculpted and toned and I believe weights are the way to go. If I went to the gym I'd only use the weights so I would rather invest in some equipment for home rather than a gym membership.

I'm a woman btw so what should I be looking at getting? Kettlebells, dumbells?

Thanks in advance

I would suggest some bodyweight program for start, for example from http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056185716 - see how far you can go before you need to buy weights.
