I know I should start to work on strength a little more. I am fairly good at getting my cardio in - we have a treadmill and a recumbent bike at home in front of a projector so I can watch TV and movies while walking/running/biking.

I also still have a gym membership with Snap Fitness but I find it very hard to make time to go there. I guess I am more of a home body and I like to be at home after work (or out partying, but that's a different story).

So, I just got the Aldi newsletter, and they seem to have a good selection of "New Year's resolution" equipment. I would love to get their kettle bell set which includes 5, 10 and 15 pd weights and the set is $25. I guess with those things you can't go wrong, in the end you could use a gallon of milk and exercise with it if you like.

The other thing that caught my eye was the home trainer.:

shake weight, no wiggle-the-fat-off mechanics, but more like a weight bench paired with the Bowflex - also using the "rubber bands" for resistance. This link has much more info and it seems to be the same:

Or here from Amazon:

Aldi has a great Money Back Guarantee but if someone already knows it is crap, I'd rather not go through the motions.

What do you think? Worth trying or better not?

Thanks

hmm thats interesting. Not sure about the product but I do remember Cory Everson when she was Ms O. for many years, so that being said, you would think that the product is pretty good if she is endorsing it.
