Fitting Fitness in our Living Space, and budget

For the same reason I am considering Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, Graphite, 6, rather than books:

My ab lounger, which I do not use often, takes up lots of space, and really must leave the living room.

It in no way folds up enough to fit under a bed, but my daughter piles stuff on it, making even more unlikely to use.

I looked into the Total gym:

Pros:
It will fit under the bed
Unlike the ab lounger, It works the upper body, a growing concern for me

At full price, the Total Gym does not fit into my budget.
Looking closely at their site, I discovered their
Outlet Home Gyms
  • Under Our Products to the left side of their home page
  • Where, I’ve checked this several times within as many weeks, I find
  • Scratched and dented, yet totally functional Total Gyms for, I have seen about $300 to $400, but usually closer to $600 to $800.
Combined with their 10% off coupon below, providing I get one of the cheaper ones, the Total Gym might fit into my budget, as well as under the bed!

Clicking on this banner today I find they are having a 50% Off, Plus Free Shipping and Free Ab Crunch, (an additional attachment it seems for working our abs), too!
You can Try Total Gym® for only $1 As Seen on TV with Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley. Over 1 Million Satisfied Customers. FREE Shipping.
I am leaving their discount banner in the right column here, where I check the Outlet store at Total Gym often.

True, I do not know if the 10% off applies to these, but even if it does not, the outlet section makes it possible for me, and possibly you, to consider this as a form of exercise.

If it slides under the bed, no one can pile stuff on it. This would make it far more likely for me to use than by ab lounger!
