I prefer going outside to do the cycling and jogging. Except in freezing weather. Machines make you feel too much like a hamster. I've got a cycling machine, just in case. A bench and barbells/dumbells can be used for a lot more than just bench pressing. The back is also adjustable. The bench has the curl and leg attachment as well as an extending rack for squats. I don't like squats though. Very hard on the knees and lower back. Much better to save the legs for aerobic stuff.
