If you could buy any exercise equipment you wanted no matter what the price but you could only pick ONE what would it be?

    Probably a weight bench. DH and I keep commenting on how it would be nice to have one in the house and get serious about weights.

    Definitely my treadmill. Love my bike trainer too but at least can run and walk on the treadmill.

    A really good quality QUIET treadmill instead of the noisy one I have now. I'm also really intrigued by the bowflex walking thing.

    Total Gym. Chuck Norris is awesome, and so is this equipment he is endorsing. My husband and I BOTH want one.

    Me too! The "tread climber" really does look interesting.

    A rowing machine. 10 minutes feels like a 30 minute workout and gets the heart pumping better than a treadmill.

    Definitely a treadmill. It will take the minutes off of driving to the gym when I am in a rush for work in the morning.

    Assuming I got the iron to go with it/make it useful... a squat rack. No question.

    Does a squat rack w/ a bar and plates count as one piece?

    That and the little adjustable dumbbells I have and I'd be set.

    My co worker had one and got rid of it. Hated it and was difficult to use.

    I want a BowFlex. I find it amazing the number of strength training exercises you can do with one machine. I know the Total Gym is very similar in that regard but I like the BowFlex so much better.

    I forget the make/model of this treadmill, but it has different programs in it that actually mimic the terrain,trails,or routes of different places all over the world including things like the Boston Marathon. I believe it also allows you to link with others at the same time so you can train with anyone at anytime,anywhere. Pretty cool...pretty pricey...but difinately cool!

    We have a bow flex. It's 'eh. The moves are easier through the first half than they are though the second have. The leg options are pretty sad. When I work out at home i only use it for lat pull-downs and chest press. Otherwise I use dumbbells.

    It's resistance based and therefore would get harder the further you "pull" it. I could see where the leg options would be limited as in my high school days I could do 450 to 500 on the incline leg press and the BowFlex really doesn't have that kinda support.

    I am lucky, have pretty much all I need just need some lessons from hubby on the gym. We have elliptical, recumbent bike & an entire Hoist set up. I would like a treadmill too I think.
