I don't need bells and whistle. I have a gym mebership. After I get a
bench and free weights, I'll do strength trainging at home and go to
gym to use ellipitcal (precor). I might try Cybex in the future.

So basically, I need something decent to use to warm up for weight
ligfting session as well as for cardio if I can't make it to the gym.

Space is an issue as well; I'll be moving to an apartment. I'll keep
only one sofa and a chair in my livign room +coffee table + 1 or 2 end
tables.

Any recommendation what to get?

Oh. And if your apartment has stairs that would about be all required.

I think you should spend a minimum of $0 and a maximum of $0.

Very funny..not. The idea is that I'd get really busy - I have a
stategic plan to get a job that should stress me out so much that all
I'd have time to do is eat, sleep and work, at least for the first 2-3
years and I need to make sure I don't skip on ezericisng - and hence
home equipment are a must. I'd be in SF Bay Area - let's say it's a
dream to get otu fot here and move there - where IT jobs are and I
doubt that I'd have a place with stairs insid emya partment.

I don't like ropes. I am not a 13 year old anymore :)

Wasn't trying to be funny. Try doing a set of 500 bodyweight full
squats. Then tell me why you need a machine to look after your cardio.

I don't want to my quadricep big. Squat would do that, wouldn't it?


I keep a couple of dumbbells and a couple of kettlebells (adjustable
handles, Steve) at my home and a pull-up bar I can use in the doorway.
That's all. I compete at weightlifting and have been a competitive
powerlifter. I like to kayak in the summer, but needing anything fancy
for cardio - you don't.

I am not creative like you when it comes to exercises. Beside, I want
to watch TV while doing some cardio.


If you have no motivation or determination the machine won't supply it
for you.

A cardio machine would be enticing..to motivate.

Yeesh.

500 reps works endurance more. Do you really think it is that easy to
get big? Do you realize how hard a person has to work to get big?
