So I have been looking for cheap work out equipment on craigslist etc and I keep remembering what Jim said a while back in a thread. Half the ads are "like new" (except for some low use and minor scratches), "never used" (except for a month), "new in box" (I just set it up to see how it worked).

Yes, and this one is so "almost brand new" that it comes with 3 video tapes.

I should get a treadmill but I have been looking for a cheap weight set or home gym so I dont have to rejoin the gym. I just dont want another monthly payment right now. Glock21 was making fun of me last week about being out of shape.

You should beat them in court with a guy you found off Craigslist.

I couldn't find anything better then used a month but new in the box for the same price as new, kinda like some of the gun ads I see :) so back to miramont gym for me. Now I just have to get motivated, I need a drill to follow me around the gym!



Fast foods not a problem for me its the damn mtn dew! That stuff should be illegal. I put on 10lbs in like 4 months not going to the gym but drinking mtn dew all day, and from how my pants fit that 10lbs is all in my waste.

You don't need to join a gym to stay in shape.

get yourself a treadmill and watch whatever TV you want on the treadmill. make it a routine, one that you stick to.
also make a limit on the amount of pop you intake daily.

You don't need to join a gym to stay in shape.

To get back to the level I like to be at I do. I like to lift heavy while keeping it at a fast pace but I also do alot of cardio. B-ball, treadmill, bike, stair stepper, and my gym has an indoor track. Being able to throw a beating is useless if you cant catch the guy. Yesterday was my first day back at the gym and I hit it HARD! Even after creatine and protien supplements I was raiding the fridge for left over steak and ham every 3 hours all night. Now this morning its drinking my egg whites and creatine but I feel better then I have in months [Weight] As soon as the wife gets off work its back to do a serious cardio day.


I did want to save money and go with a home setup, but i dont have the room for everything and the cost of getting setup would have been so high up front it was easier to just go to the gym.

Are you using a commercial gym or your local city facility ? I use the Westminster fitness center and have access to everything. Due to age I save (at least I hope I do) by having a resident pass.

I looked into a couple city programs and they would cost me the same as the commercial gym but with more limited hours. CSU I am told has a good gym and they have students majoring in that stuff work the gym to help you out. I was told it was'nt that expensive either. I would have liked to try it but the hours and location would have been hard on my 4 days I work.

Go do one of those free Red Rocks work outs and see how far into it you can make it before vomiting.
