in Fitness and Exercise
I do not have a lot of disposal income or extra cash or space for that matter. I would LOVE to have a squat rack (and larger weights than a few hand dumbbells) and other heavy weight items but can not fit them in our house as we have no basement/attic or garage.
I also don't work out very often as I am out of the house 12 hours a day working at dog day care so I'm exhausted when I get home.
So I'm looking right now to buy some fold up cardio equipment.
I have my eye on:
1. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VICRO8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=IMNEA9D7QXU&coliid=IAM2UANU803S5
2. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0047EDZQ6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=IMNEA9D7QXU&coliid=I1842OQ244EJFK
3. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002JBBRRI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=IMNEA9D7QXU&coliid=I2DHTDJDLOT4ZJ
4. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007595TKU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=IMNEA9D7QXU&coliid=I3J5NQALBN2RST
5. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0028Q2AMU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=IMNEA9D7QXU&coliid=I2IWBRZ7LICQTP (more than I want to spend)

Are any of these worth it for just 1-2 hours a week to kill some time on?
Also I'm sorry I forgot how to hyperlink.

    Kettlebells!! They are life changing. So many different exercise possibility with just 1 - 2 pieces of equipment. I might suggest buying the DVD/Kettlebell combo pack. Just a word of caution the entire routine is an *kitten* kicker.

    I am not looking for an "*kitten* kicker" right now as I work 12 hour shifts at a physical job. I'm just looking to get one piece of cardio to kill 1-2 hours on a week when I have some free time on days off.

    I agree. Kettlebells are the best.

    Go light at first. Figure 8s with a light kettlebell is an awesome cardio and abdominal workout.

    The good thing about the DVD Morgue is you can go at your pace. I was 420 pounds when I started it and could not nearly even come close to finishing it. You get the luxury of going at your pace. The more you start getting the hang of things and the fitter you get the more of the DVD you can complete. Anyway hope it helps and Best of Luck on your weight loss.

    Personally I would go for the second one, since it's the cheapest next to the first one, but you won't fall off of it. ;) Also, it's going to be summer soon (depending on where you live) so if you have an outdoor bike I would just use that instead.

    That being said, the fifth one seems like a good deal if you buy the one they are selling new for $150.
