a good investment, a couple years I put together a home gym while I was working so I would be able to work out at home during school and I am so glad I did. I dont have anything quite that fancy though . I have to run outside which is hazardous when its hits -40 C and in the summer time dodging skunks

One of those in front of the TV is definetly a great (if not the best) way to get in shape

You could join me in Nike's "Men vs Woman" challenge as well, though ^^
With some sensor you can put into your shoes you can keep track on how far you've run, and win the race against the other gender

The past 2 months, I've been doing 15 min at 6 mph (straight), which is a lot for me since I'm normally a weight training type. I really hate doing cardio and drinking lots of water, but I've realized that you have to do it. So far I've shed 15 pounds.

Good luck man, let me know on your progress. It will help keep me motivated as well.

Remember, Powerbars are really good to curve the sweet cravings which I'm terrible for. They even recommend it after a workout so your legs/arms don't get sore the next day. After a week or so, they start become really good haha. Here's where I should say "consult a physician before any exercise routi... blah blah". I realized I was started to sound like a commercial.


Addition info edit:
Also, for cheap gear... I bought a set of push-up bars for $12 like 6 months ago. I went from doing no pushups (with the bars), to doing 15 in a row with the bars. They are way harder than normal pushups. Doing 20-3 times a week have really bulked me up in the upper body.

600 $? That would be some awesome gear! I´d just go for a walk on the fresh air!
Good luck with getting thin again!

I do personal training and nutritional consulting, so feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions you want answered. Whether your goals have to do with bodybuilding, powerlifting, endurance training, general weight loss, etc., I'd be happy to see what I can do.

Wow man I really envy you !! I always wanted to have treadmill but I just don't have the necessary space and I live in an apartment building so no running over neighbors heads for me Its surly a very good investment!

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Mar 17 2009, 02:20 AM

Hah. Great investmest!

I somehow still regret that I sold my old Spinning exercise bike. Used it a lot after my knee surgery etc.

My mother has some kinda exercise walk-ish/bike-ish thingie in the basement back home. I don't know if she uses it, but I actually wouldn't mind borrowing it.
