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:

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
