Funny thing is that I belonged to a gym for 2 years(expired in October, was locked in for 2 years) and only went about 20 times(friend got me to join with him and then he got a job with odd hours, so I lost motivation) and I'm losing more weight at home then I did at the gym lol. I used to have a Bowflex, but didn't use it much and sold it. I want to get some machine for building muscle too, but a lot smaller than a Bowflex. |
Yep, I've put on twenty pounds since I started doing this two years ago, so from my experience it is true, it does tend to give you secretary spread, lol.
When my kids aren't sick, I usually take the older ones to school and then strap the baby into the stroller and just wander around the neighborhood for a while. I can't get the pace I'd like to with the stroller, but I can still do the cardio explained here:
http://www.bodyforlife.com/exercise/cardiotraining.asp because she thinks it's fun when I run with her for a minute, then cycle back from walking fast back up to running, and so on. She wouldn't stand a steady run though, unless I had a jogging stroller, and I don't, lol.
This is the home gym that I want:

So that's what I am getting myself for my birthday in May, when I get my tax refund.
