The possibilities are ENDLESS when it comes to excercise equipment. You want to tone? You want to slim down? You want to bulk up? There are sooo many choices.
Treadmills: I really love mine. Some days, lol. When I want to watch a movie, I'll pop one in on the tv in front of my treadmill and enjoy a two hour walk. A great way to get moving and enjoy myself.
Elipticals: Trainers seem to have huge issues with these machines, not liking them. I haven't used one yet with my HRM, but I plan on it, so I can see if it's as "not worth it" as they say. There are people that swear by them for a whole body workout, and they are still around (unlike those belt hip shaky thingys), so there must be somthing good with them.
Bikes: I totally want one of these. But I need one with a wiiiiiiide seat. I hate how biking makes my butt hurt for days. I do love the workout, though.
What's your favourite piece of equipment? Do you own it, or is it at your gym? If you could have a home gym, what pieces would you have?

I love my dumbells! And i love walking :) No i don't go to a gym :(
OOO something I know about!
I have a treadmill (Electronic).. it's OK for getting fit, toning legs, butt etc. Can be boring. I never run.. can't seem to do it! Boobs don't help!
I have an exercycle... it's OK... but I wish now I'd bought a spin bike, they are so much better! The exercycle is good though for a cardio workout, toning legs and butt.
Ellipticals... ROCK! they give you a HUGE cardio workout, and tone your body all over... I wish I had one.
We also have free weights (dumb bells, bar etc).. good too!
The only thing I would add to our home exercise equipment would be the spin bike...
I just re-joined the gym.. cos I like the environment... the motivation you get from working out with other people, etc.
I'm not motivated working out on my own...
I own at least 10 dvds, a set of adjustable dumbbells, an adjustable ankle weight, some other various hand and ankle weight, resistance bands and an exercise mat. These are all things I use on a regular basis.
Others that I own and no longer use: weighted sports hoop.
I think I might opt for a second dumbbell set and a second adjustable ankle weight.
Not very glamorous I know, but that's what I'd get next.
For me? It's deffinately a treadmill! I've owned, and sold, an eliptical. I personally did not enjoy it. It sat in my room, and I used it as a place to hang my towels and clothes on! I think I only used it a handfull of times, and I didn't like it at all. I think it's a matter of personal preference, but I like walking. I love walking outside when the weather is good for it (not too hot and not pissing rain or sleet!) which is why I'd prefer to use a treadmill than an eliptical.
