    What everyone else said...and maybe some Beachbody programs (for your cardio). I personally love FocusT25 (just enough cardio) to go along with your weights.

    Pull-up bar

    Freestyle Trainer (I'd get one with rings-I have the Trainer and wish I'd gone with rings, but either will do).

    I'm more biased towards bodyweight training these days. Lots you can do with only bodyweight to get stronger and leaner.

    Use the leftover $300 or so for something else.

    ^This. Bodyweight exercises can be as easy or as hard as you choose. Limited equipment needed. I have a tower for pull ups, etc.

    The Tony Little Gazelle is great for very little money. It's better than a cheap powered elliptical.

    This 100% heavy lifting is the way to go, look into SL5x5 or starting strength
