Home Gym System: weights vs. bowflex type resistance?

June 2nd, 2008 admin 2 comments

I’m about to get a home gym, but have never used a bowflex type system. Bowflex’s system looks like it might be kind of an awkward way to work out.

What’s the best equipment for a home gym?
It would have to be somethings that myself and family can use (6’3-210 lb boys in family). We have treadmill, what else?
If you have a home gym do you use it enough to pay for itself?

What type of home gym should I buy?

May 17th, 2008 admin 4 comments

I’m hoping you can help resolve a disagreement I’ve been having with some people at the gym. Because of work pressures I plan to cancel my gym membership and buy a bodyweight type home gym like the Total Gym (www.totalgym.com) or Bodyrail (www.bodyrail.co.uk). The guys at the gym think I’m mad for doing this because they claim these bodyweight type gyms are gimmicks. They think that anything other than iron plates is a gimmick. Why can’t you use your own bodyweight instead of lumps of iron? Will your body know the difference? It’s ok for people to use pull-ups, chin-ups, dips, leg lifts etc, which all use your bodyweight as resistance, and yet when a product comes along that lets you use the same type of resistance for bicep curls, tricep extensions, shoulder presses, etc it’s considered a gimmick. Without spending a fortune, I’d like to buy an exercise machine that has the safety of a machine but with the benefits of free weights.
