[QUOTE="Utrecht, post: 165446, member: 1411"] Well, I do have to defend myself somewhat here........:) I am not terribly overwieght (6 ft - 180 lbs) - just don't do enough excercise - and don't get me wrong - if I can spend less, I will spend less. That being said, the reason that I am looking at a home gym (and all of the suggestions of running/biking are good - I have just gotten the mountain bike down out of the garage and am tuning it up......) but I am also looking at something that I can do during the winter - it is much easier to motivate yourself to go into the basement than to deal with 10 F weather........ Limper, Everything that I have heard is to go the free weight method so that you can simply by the weight as you graduate...... Do you have any recommendations on brands of benches (Ideally one with leg curls on it)? Bagpuss Cool huh!!!! 1 Room for gaming and a basement for excercise equipment - that does not include the other room my wife has for sewing (and she want to try D&D).... I guess this is what working for Nortel can get you - assuming you survice the layoffs....:p [/QUOTE]
