With my new adventure into physical fitness, I am finding that I need/want some new tools for working on my body.

1. 5lbs rubber coated hex dubbells – needed for exercised above the head and such, where a heavier weight might be dangerous for now
2. 20lbs (10# each) leg weights – the current 5lbs weights are great, but they are a little light
3. Stepper – I will be doing leg exercises and a stepper seems to be a key thing that a lot of people have that I don't.
4. Mat – the floor is kind of dirty sometimes, plus a floor doesn't have even traction
5. Grip – I would like to get stronger hand muscles, and think it could be a start.

I probably don't need half of this stuff, but it seems like most of it would encourage me to work out more often and also give me a more uniform experience doing so, but hey, I'm easily impressed by marketing babble.

24 Ghetto Workout

I don't really like the approach taken to this video, but it has a very good and simple idea. I don't think of gyms as a productive place to workout unless you have friends there. The sense of community creates a reason to workout more than just going to the gym alone and looking at all of the buff guys, wondering how you can get that way... or how you can get a date with one of them. I think being out in fresh air, and around real people is a more beneficial environment. I would love to see what guys could do in the woods for working out... I envision something like "Survivor", but with a lot of workout-addicted buff jocks who have to fulfill the need for having their muscles worked.

After over a month of wanting gloves for my bar, I finally got some. I went to Sports Authority looking for some, but didn't find any (literally, there were no gloves like I was looking for there at all). These are almost perfect, judging by the description, but I guess I won't really know until they show up next week.
