<div class="bbWrapper">Hey guys I wanted to bring this thread back to life, since christmas time is coming soon too haha:<br /> <br /> Any new thing/experience you have bought?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Best thing I&#039;ve bought would be a rowing machine made in USA by Concept2. It is great because you can do all cardio, strength, or long fat burning workouts. Every few months they do online challenges where you can compete against teams or individuals so it gets you motivated. Best $ 950 I&#039;ve spent that I use a lot. Also, unlike the treadmill that depreciates VERY quickly the Concept row machines do not. Buy one for $ 950 new then you can sell it in few years for $650-$750. It is all mechanical with the exception of the computer which is replaceable.<br /> <div class="bbImageWrapper js-lbImage" title="black_profile.jpg" data-src="/community/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.concept2.com%2Ffiles%2Fimages%2Findoor-rowers%2Fmodel-d%2Fslides%2Fblack_profile.jpg&amp;hash=2c9da56bfcf366aecbd0baef1ab3bdf0" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-single-image="1"> <img src="/community/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.concept2.com%2Ffiles%2Fimages%2Findoor-rowers%2Fmodel-d%2Fslides%2Fblack_profile.jpg&amp;hash=2c9da56bfcf366aecbd0baef1ab3bdf0" data-url="https://www.concept2.com/files/images/indoor-rowers/model-d/slides/black_profile.jpg" class="bbImage" data-zoom-target="1" style="" alt="black_profile.jpg" title="" width="" height="" loading="lazy" /> </div></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Amazing Amazing Amazing Big 5 Personality test<br /> <br /> Best 10 bucks I ever spent.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.understandmyself.com" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="noopener">Understand Myself - What You Need to Know</a><br /> <br /> Especially useful when used in conjunction with Jordan Peterson’s class “Personality and it’s Transformations.” He goes over the personality traits that separates the successful from the unsuccessful, and what you can do to improve them.<br /> <br /> I highly suggest starting with the second half of the class, which is the part that’s most relevant to the Big 5. It&#039;s scientific/statistical portion of the class, whereas the first half is more philosophical.<br /> <br /> <div class="bbMediaWrapper" data-media-site-id="youtube" data-media-key="pCceO_D4AlY"> <div class="bbMediaWrapper-inner"> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pCceO_D4AlY?wmode=opaque" loading="lazy" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe> </div> </div><i><span style="font-size: 10px"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCceO_D4AlY&amp;index=12&amp;list=PL22J3VaeABQApSdW8X71Ihe34eKN6XhCi" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="noopener">View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCceO_D4AlY&amp;index=12&amp;list=PL22J3VaeABQApSdW8X71Ihe34eKN6XhCi</a></span></i><br /> <br /> <br /> It’s always been my philosophy that who you are is more important than any technique. In other words, if you work on the personality traits that lead to success, success will automatically come to you, and Dr Peterson’s work very much caters to that way of thinking.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Great thread here as to see what everyone has found to be good value for them.<br /> <br /> I am going to start out with a foam roller, using it after every leg day and also great for the back and neck which I have found to be problematic spots.<br /> <br /> The gym I visit just built a sauna so I have using that after every workout. Great way to clean yourself of toxins and you feel amazing, relaxed after a session.<br /> <br /> Philips family hair clipper. Have been using it for a few years now, convenient and not needing to go to a hairdresser that often.<br /> <br /> Bought tickets to a biggest technology and business festival in Baltics for 20 moneys, so that&#039;s as good as free.<br /> <br /> Also can not ignore TMF and Unscripted which lead me here, so forever grateful for that.<br /> <br /> These are some I could bring out now, there are definately some more but these came to mind.</div>

I couldn&#039;t find anyone who had one so I couldn&#039;t try it before I bought it. The concept 2 was at the gym I attended so it was easy for me to try. I&#039;ve heard great reviews on the WaterRower but not from my experience. Main reason I picked Concept2 was that I knew if I wanted to sell it, someone would buy it quickly since it is used not just by rowers but by Crossfitters. Other reasons were that I liked their computer (PM5) and how it is used with the SkiErg and Bike with an app AND it was a little cheaper. <br /> Just an FYI, you can stand up the Concept2 rower as well.</div>

I love the tension and sound of the water as speed increases (plus can easily raise it vertically to take up minimal space) but not sure how it might compare to the Concept2! </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> Not heard of that so just googled it. Looks awesome. The Concept 2 is a bit big and bulky and I don&#039;t think you can store it upright. Very smooth action though.<br /> <br /> Will keep an eye out for the WaterRower, I wouldn&#039;t mind having a go.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Thanks for your thoughts guys!<br /> <br /> The resale would be a great benefit, but in this case I fall more into the group of loving this one so much that I plan to use it until mechanical failure and then upgrade or purchase again. I don&#039;t use the computer or apps besides just tracking stats for each row, but I am also completely old fashioned!<br /> <br /> As for the design, it is pretty sleek. Honestly, as I only stand about 60 inches tall and not a bodybuilder this version is still really easy for me to move around.<br /> <br /> I can also read off of a screen or kindle while on it and not breaking speed records <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-smile2.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /> heh. <br /> <br /> Any other home gym products you would add to this thread?

Unfortunately went for a 3 1/2 mile walk through the forest yesterday and found the base tread has split in two.<br /> <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-oooh.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":jawdrop:" title="Jaw Drop :jawdrop:" data-shortname=":jawdrop:" /><br /> <br /> Hopefully will be able to get them repaired as they are like walking in slippers. Wonderful bit of kit.<br /> <br /> -</div>

All spare parts available for all of their models (I had the Model B from 1984). The computer isn&#039;t really needed but to measure your rowing stats, technically you can row without it (all mechanical). If your computer goes bad, you can replace it for about $150. It also comes apart to two pieces so people move it around. I actually have it at my work and when it is nice outside I roll it out (has wheels) in one piece and row outside in the parking lot. Depending on the workout, I typically listen to Audible audiobooks when I row.<br /> <br /> Regarding other home products, it really depends what you want to do. A kettlebell is nice because it is versatile but I rarely use mine since I have a full rack with barbell and weights. They don&#039;t take much space but over time you will need to buy more pairs.<br /> <br /> I think if i was limited to a space I would get kettlebells, pull up bar, gymnastic rings or TRX system.<br /> I used to have the pull up bar in the door frame but it never worked on my doors so went with the new Rogue Pull Up bar. I have it mounted in my walk-in closet so every time I get in and out I have to do 5-10 pull ups.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-jammer-pull-up-bar?prod_id=62485&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAxZPgBRCmARIsAOrTHSZqVVZCYDxQiE17-Vs5CqtuZ-pqHTpN_tyPOwzH0bSY-Z4XejcQLMUaAhGwEALw_wcB" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="noopener">Rogue Jammer Pull-up Bar</a><br /> <br /> I think in the end, it all depends what will get you motivated to workout at your house. For me it wasn&#039;t kettlebell and pull up bar but a full squat rack and weights with other gym pieces. I built my own gym after my local gym closed down and we had our first child, saves me lots of time so I can workout before anyone gets up in the house. Basically convenience.<br /> <br /> Having a home gym is nice but if it becomes a clothes rack like most treadmill do then there isn&#039;t a point in getting anything and just go to your local gym.</div>
