According to this article, home gym equipment in America topped $5 billion in 2006, while 2007 sales increased an additional 3 percent.

I run outdoors because outdoor training has proven most beneficial for me. Remember, just because something worked for me, does not mean it will do the same for you. Everyone is different, and everyone has specific needs. I remember training with treadmills, and soon realizing, to my displeasure, that I was not as conditioned as one might think.
So, I wanted to ask my readers, because I’m sure many of you, like me, have seen treadmills go unused in many homes.

- A yoga mat
- Small free weights
- An exercise ball
