11/30/2009 10:31:01 AM Report AbuseI love the workouts I can actually take to gym because I don't work out at home and I don't like to buy all the extra bands and equipment the magazine uses in their workouts. Plus, I love using weights. I wish they would show more workouts with weights too. ps. You can get a gym membership at Planet Fitness for 10$/month!
