If you want to buy some fitness euipment , what would it be??
We want to buy some …hubs is over weight(slightly:halo: ) n I’m underweight…I’ve absolutely no knowledge in this field, I must confess.
So what should we buy …(not many things please…I don’t have much space to create a gym inside my house)
should we buy treadmill…exercise bike..or what??
Any suggestions..???
Thanks.

i forgot exact name of the machine ... but treaddmill will b good 2 effect all over ..
& i think crunh bench is best 4 tummy area ...
Re: Need suggestions
exercise bike is good for keeping your heart rate up, increasing metabolism, and breaking apart your fat depositing cells...
treadmil is good for all above, but you can do stamina, toning of entire body with it, and its mostly focused towards increasing strength of entire body...
treadmil in MY personal opinion is better to get ... as it can be used in MORE ways than the bike..
your underweight concern is possible via kitchen AND proper workout.. just making a mini-gym wouldnt get it there..
Re: Need suggestions
umm....to be honest, I'm not very keen on creating a gym.....specially when we don't have enough space
if exercise bikes increase metabolism....i really really don't want it for me at least
I think at the moment we need to focus on hubby, n not me ....he needs to shed a few kilos and these few kilos reside in his tummy ....so will a treadmill solve this problem??? plus how exactly it can be used in more than one ways ???
Re: Need suggestions
treadmill and abrocker :k:
Re: Need suggestions
cross-trainer .... you can do an excellent cardio workout on it and it's not as hard on your knees either. It works out your entire body and is a good way to strengthen your muscles (legs/arms) as well as shrink your waist depending on the level you choose to do your workout on.

Mehnaz…what exactly should we look for when buying a cross trainer??
I was checking online n there’s huge price difference while i’m not sure whats different in functioning?? 
Re: Need suggestions
Yep that up and down motion really burned pounds for me back in the day!
For some reason, treadmills don’t work for me (fast enough??)..
Re: Need suggestions
Treadmill.
Re: Need suggestions
Bowflex!
Re: Need suggestions
Treadmill...dont know abt the differences in prices/features though. THey all work the same way for me.
Re: Need suggestions
Afia, this is the type of cross-trainer I use at the gym. Treadmill is great too, but I ended up hurting my knee which is why I went over to the cross-trainer … it is a lot more gentle on the feet and knees than the treadmill and with my injury, it was what I needed.

I think any basic elliptical trainer would do.
