What single piece of exercise equipment, to be kept behind the couch, (there is a 4 foot space between couch & wall), would be most efficient at lowering blood pressure & blood sugar. Oh & it must be simple to use for the inept, so don’t suggest rowing machine we are not that coordinated.
We can walk about the neighborhood so I don’t think a walking machine would be most efficient use of space or money.
Should it be the stairs, (non in my home), that skiing thingy? Or something else?
This is to lower blood sugar & blood pressure, losing weight is secondary concern.
The stair stepper would provide a good CV workout and fit the space you have, or something simple as a treadmill would be good. Do not skimp on the equipment as the cheap ones will never last…I know from experience. The benefit would be is not having to deal with bad weather, or the heat and humidity for the summers where you live. A 20 to 30 minute workout on a treadmill or stair stepper would do a world of good. I live about 2 miles from where I work (this is about an 18 to 20 minute walk) and have been walking back and forth to work when the weather has been decent. It has done me a lot of good and have dropped about 20 pounds. A person can take this at their own pace and build up from there.
