Invest £280 in a gym for 7 months or basic home exercise equipment? Hello! I am off to Uni after the summer and in the build up to that I wanted to get into a shape as I have not looked after my body as well as I used to. Currently just very skinny and left with little upper body muscle where I used to be very athletic etc after a few to many years hooked on computer games. The question is, should I invest £280 in a gym for 7 months where I will guidance etc however may only be able to attend 2-4 times a week. Or personal equipment such as weights which I can use whenever within the comfort of my own space but I may not push myself as hard at home? Equipment may also come in handy over Uni unless of course they offer free gym membership... If personal equipment, any particulars that would be advised? I was looking at things like: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/0103536/c_1/1|category_root|Sports+and+leisure|14419152/c_2/3|15701400|Home+gym+equipment|14419293/c_3/4|cat_14419293|Other+gym+equipment|14419296/Trail/searchtext%3EGYM.htm http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/0107642/c_1/1|category_root|Sports+and+leisure|14419152/c_2/3|15701400|Home+gym+equipment|14419293/c_3/4|cat_14419293|Fitness+accessories|14419308/Trail/searchtext%3EGYM.htm However I am very much clueless and any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What at home exercise equipment is best for fastest weight loss and health? I have a budget of $400. I'm interested in Weight Loss (40 lbs) , Improved Energy, and some Toning. Confused by all the different kinds of equipment available, not sure which is best for my needs. Treadmill, Bicycle, Elliptical Trainer etc. I've seen lots of Nordictrack and Bowflex commercials, but I believe they are out of my price range. Winter will be here soon and I know I will not have the will power to do my walking or pay money to drive to a gym everyday, I know myself too well. I enjoy being at home anyways.
Listed "weight capacity" of home exercise equipment - realistic or overprotective? I'm a heavy (350-to-375-ish) person looking to get a recumbent stationary bike for exercise, and I'm finding that pretty much all of the reasonably-priced models seem to list "weight capacities" of between 250 and 300 lbs, if they list one at all. So I'm wondering if anyone out there can give me some idea of how realistic these weight limits actually are. Are they basically just there to protect the manufacturer from possible lawsuits or claims of "poor workmanship"? (If it's actually a serious issue, why are there some models that don't bother to specify a limit?) When someone who is over the limit uses the equipment.. are we talking "It could fall to pieces without warning and leave you lying on the floor with a broken leg"? Or more like "It will wear out faster with regular use and might need to be replaced in 5 years instead of 10"? I mean, I never ask what the weight limit of, say, an office chair is before I sit down in it, and I don't exactly go around breaking office chairs by sitting in them...

Home Exercise Gym Equipment? My husband and I are cancelling our membership due to me being laid off from my job and his hours being cut to part time. We've been working out 4-6 times a week since the beginning of the year but we can no longer afford the $100/month membership. We've decided that we'd like to set up a gym in our basement and we'll put it on our credit card since it will just be a one time charge, not monthly like the gym. We have a treadmill already but that's it. What other equipment should we get? We need to stay cheap since we're on very low income now but we also want to make sure we can get results. Suggestions, websites, exercise plans.. anything helps!
