If you could only put one portable excercise machine in your "small" apt. which one would it be? Would like to build up the arms, legs and take a little off the belly.

Why? I would think a set of adjustable dumbells and plates would offer more diversity.

I agree. I have 2 KB's and they are fun to play with but the idea that they have some magical muscle-building power is nuts. The problem is people pick up a DB and want to curl it or bench it; people snatch and C&J kettlebells. The latter 2 are superior exercises, but they can be done just as easily with a DB.
KB's are way too expensive. You can buy a lot of DB's for the price of a pair of KB's.
