Trash to Treasure?

We have a "new" piece of exercise equipment in our house as of 2 p.m. today.

It's a gently used Total Gym that was taking up space in a friend's garage. Friend's husband was threatening to throw it in a dumpster, but my husband wanted to try it out, so we're the proud, new adoptive parents.

It's one of those sliding incline benches with pulleys that allow you to use the resistance of your own body weight to do a whole range of upper body workouts. Jim carted it to the basement, dusted it off, hooked everything up and promptly broke a sweat. I got a 10-minute demo and will try it out more extensively when he's not there to watch.

I like the idea of having something new to play with. It's good for my head and my back fat.
