Obviously, I don't know much about them either! I do believe that I like working out at home in whatever I want to wear and whenever I want to more than going out somewhere. In my opinion, spandex was never made for public viewing! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

I think I'll go out tomorrow and check out there, Walmart and Academy and see what's available. Thanks!

Had some problems figuring out the dvd's you were referring to. Is

Entry #12 The flower is in the wine country, while everyone is in a hurry to taste great wine, I am always looking to stop and see beauty in the area I am in. This daisy having the water droplets had a feel of a jewel and I could not resist, so I stopped to take the picture. The beauty of the wine country at any given season is always an opportunity to stop and smell the roses and observe your surroundings.

Entry #11 The water lilies were just so beautiful standing so tall and proud, they begged to be shot. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Entry #10 I was out hiking and saw this tree. If you look at it, it has the side protrusion that looks like a wolf’s head howling. It was cool on that same hike there were a group of fallen trees and one looked like a man’s hoo-hoo. It was funny and weird all at once. I am the type of person who sees different things that are in objects that others would not necessarily see. I guess many days lying on my back as a child looking at clouds finding shapes did me in for the rest of my life, lol. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

Entry #9 This is of a sunset in Florida just a few weeks ago.

Entry #8 This is from a ride on a Ferris Wheel in Southern California - Irvine Spectrum. Taken from my camera phone, I called it "Spectrum Sunset". Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Entry #7 This is just a random snow man I saw while out plowing snow. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Entry #6 This is from my recent trip to Manhattan - NY, last week...taken with my camera phone from the Empire State Building....it was bone chilling & ass freezing. A state that's rich in history and cultural diversities, I named this one.... "Over Looking Freedom" Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

Entry #5 Going back to Iraq, plane got delayed in Germany, we were snowed in this hotel for a week, so I decided to make the best of it, I like this picture more than the others just because its not something I get to see every day, and even with another deployment coming up, there's always a silver lining to the dark clouds.

Entry #4 I found a praying mantis in my kitchen, and my cat kept playing with it. Had to grab the camera. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Entry #3 I was driving home on New Year's Day at dusk and there was a huge moon. I zipped into the house, grabbed my camera gear and went to a dark spot to take this picture. What a beautiful way to start the year! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Entry #2 It's cold everywhere, right? Someone told me to "drip" the faucets to keep them from freezing. I went out to check the faucet the next morning and found this. Crazily enough, the water still ran...it just ran down the ice slide into the bucket! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

Entry #1 I just love the sun setting over the water. It makes the prettiest colors. I just had to snap a picture!

Well, the contest is over. And I've finally gotten myself together to post the voting thread. I am very happy to report that we ended up having 12 entries this time.

I'm going to have to check both stores and see what they look like. Thanks for your help!

Thanks!

I used to go to a Gold's Gym in GA when I was totally motivated. I lived for CRW and needed to be stronger. I faithfully went, by myself. I had a great CRW guy who wrote up a whole routine for me to do. I loved that gym. It was like a second home and I was actually doing "two a days." But then my marriage was falling apart and he claimed that I loved CRW more than him. So I quit going to the gym and started going to bars to play poker instead. Late nights...greasy food....you get the idea. Divorce followed...along with weight gain. And more weight gain. I joined a Gold's after I moved here. But it just wasn't the same. I never felt comfortable there. And so I quit going. I joined a different gym in 2007, but again, I never really felt comfortable there and only sporadically went....and eventually quit there too. I'm at a point where I have to do something. And I know I won't do the "buddy" thing, although I have tried to convince my (almost) 15 year old son to come and live here with me. I know that he is one of the few people that I would feel comfortable working out with. He's a cool kid and we get along well. Oh....and your makeup comment? I never put on makeup to work out, but I religiously put it on early mornings before I showed up for CRW camps, which meant getting up at around 5 a.m. to be at 7 a.m. roundups!

I looked at Craigslist for my area. Small city...not many affordable things right now. I thought about a bowflex, but there are so many cables, etc. I don't know if I could get that right!

I have the time to work out. But public workouts make me . I have a two car garage at my new place. Cars are parked outside it. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

I love lifting weights. It really makes me feel like I accomplished something. I have a treadmill, but my feet hurt so badly most of the time, that I can't do the time on it that I used to be able to do (which is why I've cut down on outside ventures also). I am sort of a self imposed hermit. I don't do group exercise well. And dressing out in a gym embarrasses the crap out of me. I was looking at these gym set ups as a safer option. I live alone. With a free weight bench, I would undoubtedly need someone to spot me. With those, there are no weights hanging over my head....less worry about dropping them on myself! I searched Craigslist, but with it being the new year, everyone is asking WAY too much for a home gym. And I know they'd be too heavy to move alone, even if I could find one that's affordable. But buying something like THIS used is a gamble. Who knows what they've done to it? And with no manuals (who keeps those on a gym set?), I wouldn't know how to put stuff back together.

This is exactly why I asked folks for opinions before I spent a pile of money! Thanks for your thoughts!

When I used to do home workouts, I had the use of a simple home bench with a pull down bar. Nothing fancy. But even if I got one of those instead, it's not going to get all of the muscles that I know are out of shape! On my last gym membership, I got to use some different weight machines....and loved them! The dog would be a great idea as I love dogs! But I rent a house. I have a garage for the weight bench. But the landlord says I can't have a dog. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
