Home gyms

[Warthog]

Looking for one in the $300-400 range (cheaper would be better..).

I want it for upper body, one of those multi-use ones. I don't even know where to start.

And please don't tell me Bow-Flex

I'm looking at some now...there's tons! Anyone have one? Recommendations? A membership at a real gym would of course be better.....a) the only place within 30min of here is a country club and b) I like the privacy of my own home and it's much more convenient.

Only your upper body? won't you become top heavy if you are all skinny down below and bulked up with muscle up top?

Sorry couldn't resist. Why not one of those machines that does a full body work out?

OH yeah, the ones that work the upper body are especially good for hanging clothes on ..

Too slow. Surreal beat me to it. Treadmills are great for drying sweaters on.

4 words, push ups, sit ups

if cheaper is better then fill up two five gallonbuckets half way and duct tape the handles heavily to a sawed off broomstick lay on the couch, with two chairs as you choke guard. this is the cheapest system around and it gives you that self satifaction of a do it yourself project. lol, tacky yes, but very cheap

Reasons for no lower body - a)it cost too much most likely and b) Vermont = mountains...no more explanation is necessary

I was also going to do pushups/situps.....maybe I should just get an incline situp bench?
