Favorite piece of exercise equipment?

Honestly? Free weights. I pretty much exclusively work out with free weights. But as of late I love the spin bike, I've always really REALLY hated cardio. Someone told me to try to spin, and at my gym at work we have a couple of those bikes, and I've never sweated as hard as I do on that damn thing.

I do all my cardio on an elliptical. I like having my arms contribute to my heart-rate...unlike all the "stair-steppers" that beat the hell out of your poor legs.

As for weights, I just discovered we have a weight-assisted dip machine. Since I'm not a bodybuilder I can't do hanging dips alone. This thing allows me to include dips in my workout BEFORE I'm huge. I like that.

Total gym is the Chuck Norris thing right?? my ex-girlfriend had that at her house that machine is awesome

Yeah I used to laugh at it... then one became available to me cheap... so I figured why not at least ti would be good for a change... and it is pretty awesome... I still need to supplement more specific workouts for certain muscles but it covers most everything...

And dont say beer bottle!! lol

Mine is the Unilateral Chest Press and then my second fav is the pull-up machine that you can put your knees on for extra support if needed

I love free weights for the bench press. Both arms, shoulders have to pull their own "weight" so to speak. Over all my favorite is the leg press and calf machine at Golds that actually use the Olympic free weights. My goal this year was to beat my record of 640 lbs. in the leg press. I'll have to pick up the pace. Right now I would wind up singing soprano if I tried it. :)
