What is "optimal home fitness"?

I've squandered plenty of time, energy, and money on numerous fitness-related pursuits over the years with mixed results.

I'm older, wiser, and busier than I used to be, so I no longer have the luxury or desire to spend time and money on equipment & programs that don't produce results. 

I started Fitness Test Lab in an attempt to find answers to the following question as it pertains to my personal health and fitness:

What's the most effective use of my time and money?

Optimal home fitness is the continuous pursuit of answers to this question. I'm not trying to build the biggest, baddest home gym on the planet, I'm trying to build the most efficient home gym I possibly can. 

Put simply, Fitness Test Lab is an ongoing project seeking the most effective and affordable fitness options for home use.
