- I'll second the nomination for the Concept II. I used one at a
- YMCA for about a year and felt that I was in the best shape of my
- life. After playing around with a cheap rowing machine, I finally
- broke down and bought one for my home.
- For muscle toning, just buy a cheap set of free weights. Why
- spend $500+ for a machine when a $50 set of hunks of iron will do?

- Have fun, Dan
