Machines to me are uncomfortable because it restricts your movements.  When you first start working out they are good to learn the movement correctly but when you know how to do them free weights are the best cause they require you to balance yourself as you do the exercise.  So all machines except the smith and leg press machines feel uncomfortalbe to me.

You'll want to get what's called an indoor trainer. The resistance ones are best because you can adjust the resistance to make it more like riding outdoors. The link below should get you started on what's out there.

From personal experience, all you really need is a mat, a book and/or DVDs to practice at home. And if you're not that flexible, you should get a yoga strap and yoga bricks.\n\nSo, as far as the equipment above, they are more catered to (but not limited to) those specific programs or programs like it.\n\nIt also, just boils down to how much money you're willing to spend. Amazon.com has good prices on yoga DVDs, books and equipment/kits and you can get free shipping on items over $24.\n\nI also know from personal experience that a stability ball is a good piece of equipment to have, but of course, not necessary to have a successful yoga practice.\n\nHave fun!

Razor wire, proper fencing and support for said razor wire, very heavy gloves (try grease gloves like used in fast food places) or just the heavyist gloves possible, a stapler to attach whatever, or wire or whatever your setting up. And be very god damn careful.

I suggest an exercise bike, because you can work out at a high intensity on it while watching TV, it provides a good workout for your lower body, and you can find them at whatever price fits your budget.  Another good choice would be an elliptical trainer, but these tend to be more expensive.  You can set the incline and resistance on these to specifically target thighs or hip.  Here is a good intro to choosing an elliptical trainer:\n\nhttp://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/equipment/elliptical.htm\n\nI wouldn't suggest a treadmill, because it would be hard to run on it unless you devote your full attention, and if you walk on it at a lower intensity, it probably won't help very much in toning your lower body.

usgyms.net\nClick on gym marketplace for equipment at the top.\nClick on gym directory for gym in nevada and california.\nThis is a good site I've looked on for a while.\nAlso, you could look on ebay for equipment.

Situps or, even better, crunches.  You don't need a machine.  Just something to hold your feet down.  The couch or a door with a high floor clearance.\n\nOf course, if you have some pudge, you'll just get what I call a six-pack in the cooler unless you do some cardio to get rid of the fat.

classified ads in your local paper. \nMaybe you also could ask local fitness clubs if they plan to get rid of used equipement. At least they should be able to steer you in the right direction for further searching.\nObviously anything which involves shipping (like ebay) will be hugely expensive...

Does it have to be in your home?  I guess I'd do a type of circuit routine with burpees, tuck jumps, push ups, sit ups, and maybe throw in some yoga.

you can get a complete workout with a $40 set of dumbbells and a $10 stability ball.  if you're really strong, you might move up to a 300lb weight set and a bench.  hell, you can get a decent workout with nothing but a yoga mat and some knowledge.\n\nwhat's the point?  you can get a great workout with any system.  the one that works best is the one that you will use REGULARLY.\n\nthe major drawbacks of packaged systems like the solo/bowflex are that they're ridiculously expensive, you can't add weight if you max out on an exercise, and machines in general limit your range of motion- which means that your form is always correct, but you never have a chance to engage stabilizing muscles.\n\nif you have the money and space for one of these systems, consider buying a weight set, power rack, and bench- and spending the balance hiring a personal trainer to walk you through proper form & set up a program.\n\nanother comprimise would be plate-loaded machines aimed at weightlifters, like those from powertec, yukon, and many others.\n\nyour best option would really be to find somewhere local to try them out for yourself & figure out your own preference.\n\nsummary:  no bad option, but the tv-ad systems are more expensive and feature-limited than pretty much any other choice.  if you dig 'em, though, go right ahead- the best fitness solution is the one you hit several times every week.

I have a Proform545E which I am really happy with.  I would suggest...if you are serioously going to use this, to go to some gyms and test thiers out.  Many gyms offer a free one-day pass to potentialmembers (all the YMCA's in my area offer a free 3-day pass).  You definitely want one that is:  1) sturdy  2) relatively quiet.  Check local papers for people selling thiers.  Frequently you can buy a quality one used that sat collecting dust in someone's hoome MUCH cheaper than new...yet it will be like new.
