The Healthy Living Club

I am thinking of purchasing home gym equipment. One machine (preferably) that would work all the muscle groups (particularly arms and tummy) and something that could easily be stored away in a cupboard or under a bed.

Can anyone recommended a name brand / type?. I’m fairly new to this and the choice out there is overwhelming.

I would try a body ball and yoga and pilates videos. You don’t have to buy tons of equipment because these can give you the same tone through resistance.

You dont want it bad enough, send it back, you will be one of those people who hang clothes on their gyms and get fatter each year. Mr anderson then died of a heart attack 14 years later, his home gym in his garage was rusty and un-used.

Good luck.

My husband needs to build muscle, and I just want to stay toned and on my weightloss program. Husband sits on the couch, and I was going to a gym (contours express) but they closed this weekend with no warning to any of the members. We got a letter in the mail today. My question is….given our fitness goals, what do you recommend as far as home gym equipment? Bowflex? Total Gym? Other?

Free weights give the most bang for the buck!

You probably could try craigslist in your area. There is always home gym equipment on sale in the area near me.

I used to lift heavy free weights in my 20’s, but I’m 40 now, and I’m not so interested in building size and muscle as I am toning and getting stronger. Is Bow Flex right for me?

‘ve owned one, for ~3 years, & i’ve been overall happy with it.
It’s a bit bulky, but it’s a great machine. I’d reccomend getting it, as it flat out keeps you in shape.

Same question applies to forearms and back, Thanks.

Biceps: bicep curl and hammer curl. Just fashion some weights out of things around your house.

Forearms: wrist curl and reverse curl. Again, find some weights.

Back: pull-ups (find a bar), and bench rows. Again find some weights.

Well quite a few if you can afford it go to these website, several aspect you have t o consider your budget , you buying cadiovascular or weight training type of machine , the cost of maintainance , durability of machine ,your knowledge regarding exercise machine , if possble you want to be worry free i suggest you join a gym like sport council one or some other country club provide gym too all are very afforadable : ).

I’m planning to buy a home gym (Marcy or York). It’s easy to order one online, for sure. However, I’d like to try it out before assembling it at home. Are there any stores in London specialized in such equipment where I could try and they would then deliver it…?
nealo d – thanks for your answer, but I was there and they told me they stopped selling home gyms a couple of years ago. So no luck there…
