glad to see some people who actually own a Bowflex and aren't posing on TV. HA. "I gave all my fat clothes to my fat friends." nice.

anyway...for all you out there who have a Bowflex, are you happy with it? i've been contemplating one for a few years now. i'm very self-motivated, and the last time i had a homegym i used it religiously. is it worth the expense?

and for b leigh...i cannot BELIEVE you put together the words "HOME POLE DANCING KIT". if you find one...let me know. :)

I don't know what state you live in but I can tell you that down here in the south it is pretty embarrassing seeing how overweight and obese the majority of our FF's & EMT's are. I work out 4-5 days a week and try to do cardio at least that many days a week. I also try to cook pretty healthy meals here in hopes it will rub off on crew. I have to work out to do be able to do my job I don't see how people that are truely out of shape can function and be productive team members in our line of work. I think many of us need to focus more on our health so we can enjoy long careers and retirement.

I totally agree with the pole dancing. I also like using the weight bench at the station. To add alittle extra to the everyday tasks around the station I put my air pack on. I also will utilize some of the tools as weights.
