I want to set up an exercise room at new house. Besides a bowflex, what should I have?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It depends what you want to do, for cardio, an Elliptical machine is excellent and less stressful on the joints than a treadmill.

Secondly, a fitness ball. It's excellent for situps and I even use it rather than a bench for bench press and the like.

Lastly, dumbells, you can do so many things with dumbells.

Actually, i've been working out in my basement for about 12yrs now and I've never used more than 1 fitness ball, 2 dumbells with an assortment of weights, a barbell and a punching bag. I see no need for a bowflex.

Check out the article below, there are a zillion more like it. There's an entire Men's Health book dedicated to Workouts and each one has a Home Gym, No Gym alternative. It's totally worth the price.

all of the above mentioned are great... and towels to wipe off the sweat on your face ... a laundry basket for sweaty towels! ... a place to keep drinking water. :)

You don’t need to have any other equipment. The Bowflex is an all-in-one gym. You can build muscles, and tighten your arms, chest, legs, muscle, abs, shoulder and even back. So just buy a quality Bowflex.

I would suggest a treadmill and/or a type of cardio machine. The bowflex is great for strength training but have to make sure there is cardio as well.
