It only has a bunch of stationary bikes and those ski type machines, a rowing machine that doesnt work. I have free weights in my own house. Was wondering does anyone know if the ski type cardio machine is effective? as effective as say a tread mill? i doubt i'll beable to perform HIIT on that machine n i hate doing the HIIT on the bikes cos my knees end up getting sore. And does anyone know any good exercises to build up legs without any leg press machines or anything? all i can think of are squats and calf raises. Also im having trouble finding exercises i can do @ home with just free weights and no bench for my chest..any suggestions? I know im not giving u guys much to work with but any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

It is in the sporting goods department in a blue and black box and cost about 20 dollars. You attach it to the back of a door and it has resistance bands on it. It comes with a booklet showing multiple exercises , many of which are for the upper body. It has worked great for me so maybe it will help you out too. Heather:dumbbell:
