For example, I think it's laughable to think you can make significant gains without the inclusion of at least some equipment aid
What kind of equipment aid is necessary? I'm referring more to the expensive machinery that takes up alot of space.

Body type: Ectomorph. If that article is accurate, I'm even more of an ectomorph than I had previously thought.

Training goals: Stamina/endurance is a priority. Having better muscles would help, but my circumstances don't really demand it. Also, I have incredibly poor concentration and border on hyperactivity, so I think exercising more often would help. I'm not in sports right now, I just want to be healthier.

A brief training history: Hahaha...not much at all, except for occasional trips to the cardio room, and one semester of Tae Kwon Do. I've never been in that great of shape and am generally more of an 'intellectual meloncholic' type (which is really bad, because I'm really ADD).

Current conditioning: Can I just say 'pretty bad' and leave it at that? Seriously, the only positive thing I can say about my health is that I rarely get sick.

Supportive practices: Ehh, alright. The last two weeks or so haven't been hat great, but a trip to the supermarket today brought a pretty drastic change. I'm actually sleeping more than enough and am trying to cut back. I've gotten pretty lazy over the holidays, I guess.

Time availability: I will be getting a job pretty soon, but I would be lucky to get full time. I don't have many responsibilities right now. If I know exactly what I'm supposed to do, I will make time for it.

Availability in terms of facilities and equipment and willingness to change your current situation: I live right outside a college that has a pretty decent gym, that I might get a membership at. I don't have any equipment at home, and it isn't really in my budget and I don't know if I'd have room for it. I am willing to change if I know what I need to do to change (the last time I tried to get in shape, I knew absolutely nothing and ended up getting mildly injured for awhile).
