Good fitness equipment for someone with limited space?
I would love to invest in some fitness equipment, but I don't have a lot of space to store anything... I'd love to get a bike to ride in the summer and a trainer to mount it on in the winter, but thats the only thing that I can think of that I can store easily... (bike outside, trainer in a closet or something till I'm ready to use it) I've seen a commercial, and if I'm thinking correctly, its the Bowflex Treadclimber, that folds up for easier storage... I'd love to get one of these, but its definitely not in my price range at this point in my life...Does anyone have any experience with any good, EFFECTIVE exercise equipment that doesn't take up a lot of room?

Well, I live in a small town and have to drive 45 minutes to get to a gym... I just want something to use for good cardio besides a treadmill...

I have had bad experience with equipment that folds or is lightweight.
Foldable ellipticals and stairmasters tend to be very unstable and to shake. There are couple really good ellipticals that are small and stable, but they are very expensive.
My advice would be to get a stationary bike. You can get a used one for $20-30 on Craigslist or a new one from Wal-Mart for $80-$120. Since the base doesn't move when you work out, it's going to be very stable. You might need to get a padded seat cover, but those aren't too expensive- they are about $20.
The new models are very light and easy to move.If you get one where you can collapse the handles, you can store it in its original box in a closet or under your bed.
