Home Equipment?



Recommended Posts

I've started training to run but it hurts my knees so bad! I want to get an elliptical and I'd like to get a weight machine for the home too. There isn't a good gym close by and I don't want an excuse anymore. Any suggestions on home gyms or ellipticals?

I swear by this machine! Don't worry about the restricted weight usage, It holds me up and I am wayyyyy over the weight limit! This is the best workout without the heavy duty joint impact you feel on all those other machines used at the gym. I have severe arthritis in my left hip, my right hip was totally replaced years ago. So, I would highly recommend this to anyone with any joint pain, replacements, or is limited to doing exercise.

You can find it anywhere, Walmart, target, kmart, etc. .. do a google search for it. It can be found on Walmart.com at $99.00 but currently it is all sold out!! Thats because people everywhere are catching on. Don't worry you will get a good full body work out on this, believe me!!! Read the reviews and see why everyone is hooked!

I have a Total Gym that I love. If you buy a scratch and dent one from website you get newest version ½ price. It took me 6 months to figure out the small imperfection in mine - a scratch, not rip on padding. Love it.

I also have an incline treadmill. I am not always as disiplined on treadmill but love the Total Gym.

I have a treadmill and elliptical from sears. Love both of them. I need diversity and this way I can change it up. I too have bad knees. My treadmill has a flexible walking surface so can adjust the firmness. I also use a exercise ball and free weights.

I have a Gold's gym eliptical from Walmart. It was under $200 (can't remember the exact price). I also have a Bowflex revolution, but do not recommend it if you have financial struggles. Zumba videos also are quite fun even if you don't think you like dancing. I love them.

I love the Total Gym, too. It's actually pretty fun, and even when you're not doing something really hard you are working out. It's weight lifting and card in one.

We have a home gym, treadmill, and elliptical. I love our elliptical, but it was definitely an investment piece at 4500. It is gym quality, and amazing. It is a Precor and would rec

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
