    @Kimberly well if you're looking to expand your closet, I'd go with the treadmill cause it has stationary arm rests for hanging pants and dress shirts. if you're looking for an option to steam your shrts, I'd go with the P90x pullup bar - you know the one that attaches to the top of the closet?

    if you want so quality equipment, I've bought from www dot newyorkbarbells dot com (no, im not a shareholder) i buy things from them when they're running free shipping deals.

    I'm teasing you Kimberly. have a great day today

    I HAD to have an elliptical and a treadmill. WE just sold the elliptical, we never used it - it bored me. I do use the treadmill often though for when I cant get out for my run or need to run during nap time, early am, after kids are in bed ect.

    We have a treadmill and a set of dumbbells. We can do pretty much anything with it, and I like the setup quite a bit.

    A squat rack and the plates to use it, and it's not even close. Nothing can give you the wide range of benefits a squat rack can, and you can't really simulate those types of exercises. A treadmill is great, but I can run on the streets/trail for free and get the same/better workout.

    Bowflex treadclimber. Combines benefits of elleiptical and treadmill. LOVE IT! I can find workouts to do without weights to build strength, but can not always hit the streets for cardio.

    anything you can do on a treadmill you can do outside on a track/road/field etc though? If you were restricting yourself to just one thing why pick something that can be replicated by the great outdoors?

    Exactly.

    I love my precore elliptical, I could never get used to the treadmill. we also have free weights and a basic bench.
    Do you have access to the machines at the gym? Do you have one you enjoy more than the other(s). this is how i decided which one to have in home :)

    Neither. I hate doing cardio on a machine. I wuld buy some awesome DVD's instead and run outside. If I had to chose.... probably a dreadmill.
