[Sportsandrec] Home Gyms

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Lori,

My only concern there is getting bored.  The top model in the Total Gym 
series advertizes over 80 exercises, which is another thing that was 
appealing to me.  I've thought about traditional calisthenics, but for some 
reason I am having trouble getting motivated to do them.
