Cardio? I jog. My neighbor is trying to give me a treadmill, but I don't want it. I am considering getting an exercise bike for between sets, though. It would have to be free. And I would have to find a place to put it and still be able to park a car in there.
Funny story: there was a neighborhood garage sale and a guy was selling a bowflex for $250. Afew houses down, that squat rack was free. The rest of the stuff I've acquired over the last few years. That power station was free. The corner gym was free. The bench was under $50. In the "fitness industry" somebody is always trying to sell you some expensive bullshit, but no amount of money is a substitute for getting your ass out there and training hard even when you don't feel like it.

Yeah, we got our treadmill for $100 off craigslist. Silly thing was a year old, minimally used, and cost the original owner $950. Freaking ridiculous.

I'm working out more because my buddy needed a work-out buddy. We laugh so much while we work out we get really filthy and really envious looks. And complete strangers join in our conversations. And laughter. Solitary confinement in the gym is a little... weird. Unless you're a grunter -then please, do confine yourself. There were two grunters and one farter we encountered this morning. Oh and the no-nuts guy was there again.
