okay, so I am by no means a picture of fitness. But as someone who has failed so many times at my fitness goals, I am stunned when I look back at how many of those failed efforts started by telling myself that if I finally got gadget x or y that all my problems would be solved. I have been going to judo now for about three months with my son. I am finding that the most important part seems to be that it is with my son. Having a workout buddy is proving so important. I’m down ten pounds… It seems to be less about the gear than me just committing to get off my butt and do it. Wish me luck

You can get weights and stretch brands much cheaper and they would collect less dust. Then you could spend what you saved on something truly amazing or put into savings.

Like you I went for the bench, scored a bench with a 100lbs worth of weights for less than $100 at Walmart, it isn't anything fancy, but then I am a runner so all my money goes on shoes etc.

I purchased a bowflex thru QVC a couple of years ago. 6 easy payments and that was it. Rather expensive… and large… for a dust-collector It’s a great piece of equipment when you use it. It’s not difficult really, just a lot bigger than I expected. We have it in the same room as our treadmill. It stares at me woefully as I put miles and miles on my treadmill.
