Let's start a heap and light it on fire.

Whadya got?


I'll start it with an old Nordic Track ski machine. I couldn't resist the "free" price it had and I used it once, hated it and now it sits in the garage.

Some weird gizmo a neighbor who was moving gave us. Looks like a bike, but you pull yourself up and down on it. Works your legs and your arms. By far the most uninteresting equipment I've ever owned. I think it's curbbound.

An ab-wheel thing. The elastics to the wheels broke. It served it's purpose and has since been replaced. Thanks for the reminder, I'll trash it tonight!

done.

In the interest of full disclosure...by 'bowflex ripoff' I didn't mean that the bowflex was a ripoff...I mean that it's a bowflex-like machine.

A CURL BAR. It's not that I never use it, it's just that I haven't used it recently.
