Project X - Lose Weight!

What do you guys recommend for a home gym? My brother likes his Bowflex, but I was curious if any of you could recommend a set-up as well.

BTW, skellyo and azjc, thanks for the tips!

Get a total gym, cause Chuck Norris rules!

In all seriousness I really like my total gym, and I picked it up used for 120 bucks. Works out your upper body really well, and you can actually use it fast enough to keep your heart rate up, so it is like extending your cardio session while you work out. I ride a bicycle, so I do not bother doing leg exercises on it, but it works great for any upper body movement, and you can stretch at the same time. I even used it to rehab my back muscles after having disk problems. For the price you can't beat it. Even my buddy who is a instructor at the local gym gave it a try. He said it looked kinda lame, but he gave it a try. After a few mins he said it was great and told me to find him one, cause he wanted it in his house! He is 6'2" 210lbs and has about 3-4% body fat.
