Yeah, I'm in the same boat too.. I just bought a bowflex ($2,300 complete system - used for $200 bones... Man I was excited) and i got a deal on 2 body by jake ab scissors so I just got both of them and I'm actually trying to sale the other one (let me know if anyone interested) but I just need the commitment now.. I started using the ab scissor a little and man that thing is focused.. I know it might sound cheesey but it really works and doesn't hurt your neck and back like sit ups (even though I know the sit up work really good) But, I just need to get into a routine and stick with it.. Might be nice to post updates here with the work out.. Keep each other accountable.. I'm about 5ft 10" tall and 208 lbs now.. Not obesse but def. need to loose some weight around the gut.. want to keep the upperbody weight and just tone it up..
