EM40 Empower Women's Home Gym?

[lis1]

I was looking at hsn.com and saw this home gym for women. It looks really nice - it's $299 but can do a lot with it- I'm just wondering if anyone has bought it??

Thanks!

I looked at the video - it seems very limited to me as far as weight resistance, etc. You could do a lot better buying resistance tubing with a door attachment, a couple of med balls, and a stability ball. There's your gym, and you'd spend a lot less. That stuff is portable, too. Here's another option that I just got, also cheaper and very portable:

I happen to like it especially after reading that you can go up to 100#s placed in the cradle. However, the only drawback that I can see is the limited amount of exercises that are done for legs. But you can easily just slip into your dvd player a Cathe leg workout & just pick & choose certain exercises. I personally think its a good buy! Kathy
