people may laugh, but i bought a bowflex on ebay from a fat guy about a year ago, and it is quiet and i watch letterman's monologue every night while using it (about 15-17 mins).

This is very true. Who can be assed getting up in the middle of winter at 7am to go to the gym before work? Is your gym even OPEN when you finish work? (ok ok, I run an office, most here probably work from home) It's so much easier to have a small gym at home to use. I like to exercise at 10-11pm at night. I've just got a basic bench/barbell system and an exercise bike. The bike is great for watching tv on. You start while watching your favourite show and by the time it's finished you've done you 30 or 60 minutes of cardio. Too frigging easy. No waiting for someone to get off a machine.. no monthly membership fee... no getting shamed by some adonis or hot chick while you're 50lb overweight ;)..
I'm also THIS close to getting a walking machine just so I don't have to run the gauntlet of drunks on my usual walking route at 10pm when they start filing out of the pubs. I already don't take my wallet and wedding ring just in case.
