I'm designing a home gym for my apt. I ordered a treadmill (one of those space saver ones). I'm going to order plates, the dumbell size bars (comes with the spring coils), and a bench that also inclines and declines today.
Once I move everything around and take final measurements, I will look into ordering an adjustable squat rack that can also serve for bench presses (it adjusts from 30" to 60". If I can get that in there (I think I will), I will be a happy lady.

Cure for cancer worth 50 trillion in added productivity to the US
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-04/uocp-cfc042606.php
A new study, to be published in a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Political Economy, calculates the prospective gains that could be obtained from further progress against major diseases. Kevin M. Murphy and Robert H. Topel, two University of Chicago researchers, estimate that even modest advancements against major diseases would have a significant impact – a 1 percent reduction in mortality from cancer has a value to Americans of nearly $500 billion. A cure for cancer would be worth about $50 trillion.
"We distinguish two types of health improvements – those that extend life and those that raise the quality of life," explain the authors. "As the population grows, as incomes grow, and as the baby-boom generation approaches the primary ages of disease-related death, the social value of improvements in health will continue to rise."
Many critiques of rising medical expenditures focus on life-extending procedures for persons near death. By breaking down net gains by age and gender, Murphy and Topel show that the value of increased longevity far exceeds rising medical expenditures overall. Gains in life expectancy over the last century were worth about $1.2 million per person to the current population, with the largest gains at birth and young age.
"An analysis of the value of health improvements is a first step toward evaluating the social returns to medical research and health-augmenting innovations," write the authors. "Improvements in life expectancy raise willingness to pay for further health improvements by increasing the value of remaining life."
Murphy and Topel also chart individual values resulting from the permanent reduction in mortality in several major diseases – including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Overall, reductions in mortality from 1970 to 2000 had an economic value to the U.S. population of $3.2 trillion per year.

I'm so excited. The bench collapses and go underneath my bed (along with the plates & bars). The plates come with a 7' bar. So, I just have to order the dumbell size bars and curl bar (comes as a set).
I'm hoping the treadmill, when folded up, can slide into the adj. squat rack. I will get a screen to hide them when I have company (which is rare) over.
