What kind of at-home fitness machine has worked best for you?
I asked which is better gym or at home but forgot to ask which machine the at home users liked the most
I don’t like gyms…even if they were free, I would not go there. Everybody’s sweating in the same room and I cannot really be comfortable in front of strangers, sweating as well.
Gyms are only good if you’re very strong and need a lot of heavy, expensive different machines or you need to be part of a class to get the motivation from a group (I do fine by myself).
I’m just an average woman so all I need is a good neighborhood, a stationary bicycle and some weights (and also my thigh master and my abs bar and my push-up handles…I have very thin wrists)…and a big sturdy piano bench I use as a weight bench.
At home, I do not have to drive there and I can do my abs in my underwear…
On my cardio days, I use an old DP Air Gometer, which is a stationary bicycle with upper body exercise.
It’s bulky and noisy but I get the best cardio workout on it, watching TV full blast…cardios plus lower and upper body workout.
(I have a five day routine that I just repeat…walk, cardio, walk, rest, weights, walk, cardio, walk, rest, weights)

Motorized treadmill. Walking is a great exercise.

I think my legs worked the best. A good run is a great exercise.

With my son I can’t go to a gym around here. I walk outside with him… I also have a stair stepper and a mini trampoline. I’ve lost 65 pounds since Christmas… So I guess I like those.

I have an elliptical machine. It gives a great workout, burns more calories than a treadmill, and puts less impact on your joints.

Trampoline. I find it easier to do than other exercise.
