Here’s what I’m working with to try to trim the fat:

workout_room.jpgA decade old, cheap multi-station gym by Weider. Good for a few weight bearing exercises when you don’t have a spotter to help out, but over the years I’ve owned it I’ve found that many of the exercises really put your limbs at funny angles and put stress on joints. So I only use it for about 4 exercises.

A recumbent bike Diane got me for Christmas several years ago. It was a display model - she’s such a bargain hunter!

A new treadmill.  The old one sounded like an air compressor and had a 13″ wide belt - I nearly lost my front teeth several times after stepping 3/4″ beyond the safety margin for the belt.

A heavy (punching) bag. I still need to mount it to that big hunk of wood in the right hand corner. 2 minutes punching that thing and I’m all rubbery.

Not pictured: A Nordic Track, a $50 weight bench and the TV/VCR/DVD thingamabob. Using the Nordic Track hurts my back after awhile, so I don’t use it much.

This ‘room’ is in the basement and I hate feeling like I’m in the dungeon, being punished for my caloric sins, so we had a family paint fest on the back wall. It really cheers the place up and reminds me why I’m doing what I’m doing.
