Hi Anna,
I bought a workout bench for my weightwork and I love it. It has a squat rack so I can go really heavy without having to heave the bar over my head. The bench is padded so it's a lot more comfortable to lie down on than the step bench. Before I got my bench I used the step, but if you have the room I would go for a padded bench. Just my $.02.

Anna,
I just use my step. I don't have room in my flat for a proper bench press and step as well. The step works just fine for Cathe and her crew so it's good enough for me. I really don't like to spend money on equipment every month because if that is the case, I might as well join the gym. The whole idea of home exercising is keep it inexpensive and accommodating to people's living space
If you have money to burn then I donh't see why you can't build a home gym yourself with treadmills weights. That is my ambition if I win the lottery.

I have a workout bench with a rack for a barbell (for doing bench presses, an adjustable back, and a leg extension/leg curl attachment, and a plain old step, and I use both.
Hey, we love having you British chicks on the forum! I hadn't mentioned that ..sort of a delayed reaction.
It's about 6:15 am Eastern Time, so what time is it where you are...about 12:00 pm? What's for lunch today?

WOW! What a woman! I read your profile and I think you are fantastic. It's incredible what people can do if they just have the right attitude. I have tried to get my mother to exercise but she just deosn't want to know: 'I am too old' is the lame old excuse. I think people either have the mentality or they don't and you do.
I hope I can keep it up when I am your age. I want to keep it going forever because I want to avoid all the sagginess that comes with age.
It's coming up to noon and I have already had breakfast and lunch so might just have a snack.

RE: HI HONEYBUNCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thankyou for that !
If it is about 6.15am Eastern Time, I think we are 5 hours in front, then it is 11.15am. In the UK at the moment, it is 2.50pm, and I am off out with DH and the kids in a while to go party food shopping. My immediate family are coming to stay tomorrow, for my Mum's 60th Birthday ! So lots of shenanigans in the Bernard household tomorrow ! I am having a mad tidy and clean around of the house tonight and giving the loos a good scrub (won't have time for Cathe tonight :'( ). I have no doubt my sister Sarah and I will find time to view the Wedding video together ! We may be the party poopers !
