My buddy has a versaclimber and he is a MONSTER. They are expensive, but I have though about getting one several times. When I use his I am sore ALL over. It amazes me haw great he looks from just this machine. But he gets after it - like always trying to beat his records and all that and drenched in sweat when he is done.

I'm just scared it will be another piece I will give up on collecting dust - only this one would cost more than my others combined! LOL
Which rack do you have?

You have to build muscle!! You lose muscle mass every year. Take a look at 70yr old person. SKIN AND BONES, ZERO MUSCLE and struggle getting out of a chair , walking up steps , etc. My point is weight training to some degree will keep you in much better shape than just cardio. HELL GO FOR A WALK EVERY DAY! Low impact. Unlike running or jogging. I just think most people don't understand or care to understand. They just start doing cardio because that's most common or ITS EASY. Hmmm, think about it. Most of us are lazy as hell. Doing anything strenuous is, "TOO HARD" BOO F-ing HOO! Suck it up and get after it. You can thank me 20 years from now. It's actually pretty darn empowering once you get into this whole journey. Wish I would have done it 20 years ago.

I'm thinking of putting an exercise machine in there. I could use it to fit in 20-30 minutes of exercise when I have free time. If I only have one room for one piece of equipment, what should I get?

Treadmill. This just seems dumb. Where I live it's never to hot or too cold to go outside and run. Then again, it's nice to jog while watching a movie on my tablet.

Elliptical trainer. This seems like the best option for me. I get a similar workout to a treadmill (something like here) while moving in a slightly different manner.

Rowing machine. I've never had one of these, but it seems like a good all-body cardio workout.

Weight bench and weights. I (used to) enjoy weightlifting. But I don't know how my floor would react if I accidentally drop hundreds of pounds of barbell on it.

Bowflex/Nordictrac multi-use device. These seem horribly gimmicky and not very useful.

Other? I'm open to your suggestion.
What is your goal?

There is a solution to this problem. And it will take you only 30 minutes a day, it is 18 times less than the time that you spend on work. The solution to these problems is morning run. A treadmill is suitable for this.

What gives morning run? And what training regimen should I use?

Firstly, running in the morning really improves your mood. Why? In the morning, when you have just woken up and do not want to do anything, running will awaken you. This is a kind of alarm clock with a charge of excellent mood for the whole day. Get on the treadmill and improve your mood!

Secondly, running on a treadmill helps to lose weight. It is a proven fact that when you run in the morning, people begin to lose weight and acquire an amazing figure. On a treadmill, you can lose weight.

Thirdly, there is a strengthening of the body. The general state of health improves, tone rises, immunity strengthens, endurance increases.
