Total gym?

[Trogdor]

The ONLY home workout equipment i use is Thr Ab-Isolator and that's it. I go to the gym in town for my workouts with the weights and shit. And I myself am training like mad to get big and stronger. Made some good results strength wise, I did a 240 pound dead-lift last night. Though I am one of those guys who needs to work twice as hard to put on size.

If you wanna workout at home, get a workout bench, a barbell, plates, some dumbells, and maybe a sit-up bench. That's all you'd need really.

Any gimmick that tells you results are guaranteed by only doing 20 minute workouts three times a week, is a load of bullshit. Don't get me wrong, some equipment in the home is beneficial but it's all up to the individual. When thinking of purchasing some equipment (weights and cardiovascular machine), ask yourself this. "Can I work out effectively in my home without distraction?" If so, you may have a chance to benefit from home training. This does not include this gimmick, the bowflex or any other comparable piece of shit. This means using solid workout equipment and aerobic equipment you would find in a gym.

Whatever the method you choose, the bottom line is this. You must burn off more calories than you take in to get the weight loss results and to reveal the muscle tone aquired. If eating is for shit, results are for shit. It's just the way it is. There is no fast easy way to get long term results. These commercials appeal to two things in the average person. What is the easiest way and what is the quickest way, and so many people fall for this. It's a billion dollar industry that offers very little results in return. I guarantee that more people hang their laundry on these contraptions than use them.

Can you tell I'm a personal trainer? Do it the old-fashioned way people. Go to the gym five times a week. Work hard. Eat right. Burn off those calories and you will see positive changes to your body.
