there are a lot on the market, I would check consumers reports and then go compare those that rank highest in your price range with the features you want

Treadmill always good to change things up:\n\n5 min.\n 3.0 mph - warm-up\n\n\n5 min.\n 3.5 - 4.5 - walk/slow jog\n\n\n1 min\n 5.0 - 5.5 - speed walk/run\n\n\n2 min\n 4.0 - 5.0 - walk/slow jog\n\n\n1 min\n 5.0 - 5.5 - speed walk/ run\n\n\n2 min 4.0 - 5.0 - walk/slow jog\n\n1 min\n 5.3 - 5.7 - speed walk/run\n\n \n2 min\n 4.0 - 5.0 - walk/ slow jog\n\n\n1 min Walk or run as fast as you can\n\n2 min 4.0 - 5.0 - walk/ slow jog\n\n5 min 3.0 - 4.0\n\nI'm not sure about the weight bench maybe some different workouts for abs, arms, legs such as:\n\nplacing your hands on the edge of the weight bench lower your body so it almost touches the floor and than lift up again. \n\nor lay on your stomach with your feet on the weight bench and do some push ups.\n\nSimple stuff like that with the weight bench might work.

They all work well. Even the off brands. Don't be deceived by "speed" claims. Any will serve your purpose.\n\nJust get one in the largest size you can afford. You will never say "I have too much space."

I have worked out both on the revolution and the older bow flex model. Both are a great substitute for free weights. They both require they use of stabilizing muscles unlike most machine which in turn provide a better work out than most machines. If you cannot afford a gym membership I feel like this is the most economic solution. It is worth the price for for results.

Out of the brands you have listed i would probably go for Sims as i have ridden one of there boards ( the fader ) before and really liked it. Ive ridden a morrow board before and hated it as it felt really stiff and heavy, but it doesent mean that its nessesarily a bad make its just that particular board didn't suit me. Out of the other companys you have mentioned i have never ridden any of there boards so its hard to give an accurate idea of which are the better ones. But M3 are quite respected and had an excellent team a few years back so they would be good, and LTD and Lemar are known for selling cheap but really good value for money boards and would be worth a try. \nSo if i were you i would go for Sims first them M3 and then probably Lemar. To be honest all these brands are ok you don't need to go for Burton like most of the people on this site think. I imagine that most of the people who rate them so highly have never ridden any other board and just like them as they are the most hyped brand. Yeah they are good but so are many other companys out there which sell boards at alot more reasonable price. Hope this helps you a bit

It depends on what price range of treadmill that you are talking about.  A good website for evaluations of different brands of treadmills is http://www.tmdoctor.com/pages/best_buy_awards.php  They don't make treadmills, but repair them, so they have some good info and recommendations in different price ranges.

What do you consider a "decent price?" And how will you be using the treadmill? Will you use it primarily for walking, jogging, running? And how often do you plan on using it? How much do you weigh? \n\nAs you can see, there are many factors to consider when purchasing a treadmill. I have a great questionnaire on my website that will help you figure out how much to spend on a treadmill that will suit your needs. I also provide treadmill recommendations by price range. \n\nHere is the link:

I have an Animas pump.  It is ok. It is a little larger than I would prefer and it beeps a lot!  Overall, I think any pump that your insurance will pay for is an excellent choice.  I do like this pump because it has been extremely reliable for the last five years.  The staff and nurse are always helpful and the supplies are always here when I need them.  I have no complaints with the pump, the staff, the equipment or the nurse.  It was easy to learn and maintain.  The batteries last a good amount of time and it has several different programs (i.e. pregnancy, PMS, Thanksgiving :) for insulin delivery.  Check out the website, they may send you a video to review to help you make a decision that is right for you.  I would call the companies that you are considering and see what kind of information you can get before you make a decision.  This pump may be right for me but not for you.  If you need any more help, feel free to email me.

I'd go with an elliptical because has as much impact as walking, and is more quiet then a treadmill, also you can set different programs for forward and backward motion.

That depends.  Personally, I can't use a treadmill.  The impact is way too much for my joints.  I prefer and eliptical.  Also on an eliptical you can go backwards and work a whole other set of muscles.  My vote is the eliptical.

'good' and 'affordable' are both relative terms, but you might give Edmuns Scientific a try, they are having holiday sales, are reputable, and i never got any duds from them. Once you look there, you may totally luck out and find one you get the specs for on ebay.

I'm training right now and I rotate between outside and the treadmill (treadmill is easier on the knees).  Remember to strech.  Get fitted with a good pair of running shoes from a running store that actually examines your stride.  And get running socks.  If you are running distance go with marathon socks.

I would have to say either the Nike Breathe Free, Adidas Baricade 2, or the K-Swiss Ultrascendor.  Most advanced players claim you really can't go wrong with any of these three, so take your pick.

Nautilus makes some good home gym equipment.  I have one that has attachments that can be added and removed to work legs.  Check out Consumer reports and then compare prices and specs at www.mysimon.com.\n\nKeep in mind that you don't ave to fave an expensive gy to get fit at home.  You can start out with dumbells, elastic bands and a jump rope.  The most important thing is that you start moving :-}\n\nFeel free to contact me if you have more questions.

If you have bad knees, then you need to invest in a treadmill that has give in it, some of the cheaper ones are Nordic Trak models normally priced around 700-800. Cheaper ones, as well as heavy gym models will be noticably stiffer. When shopping, go and jupm up and down on different treadmill belts to see which ones are the most confortable. \n\nOh, and a 1-1.5% incline most closely mirrors the actual effort required to walk outside.
