    To be honest, i would rather do the Wood Splitting!
    The Gym is very boring to me.

    Depends what benefits are important to you. When splitting wood you are burning calories *and* doing something productive at the same time. As time is something I never seem to have enough of, splitting wood would be the most beneficial use of it for me.

    Splitting wood of course. Think of it as your outdoor gym.

    i do not like the bike in the gym b/c it makes me have a backache. i like to ride out on the open road on my "real" bike.

    the treadmill is fantastic. you can walk slowly at a very high incline, or run, or walk swiftly at a lower incline. it can be changed-up alot and is one of my favorites in the gym.

    cross trainer - have no experience

    splitting wood - although i have no experience, i have watched people doing it and WOW that looks like an amazingly difficult and beneficial work-out AND you get firewood to boot! :smile:
