Way to go Vered! I’m all for getting a good workout at a great price. Where I live I also have some low mountains to do hikes and runs so I have lots of options.

Hey Aaron, I’ve already notices that I’m going to have to slowly invest as I get stronger. I have the benefit of many false starts and have the starter equipment to show for it. I think you are right the cost.

90% of what Stephen said in the video I agree with. The one thing I don’t is being able to get a set of adjustable dumbbells and stay within a $100 budget. A decent set will set you back a couple of hundred, and if you know you’re strength will require using more than 45 pounds you’re looking at an investment of over $500. It is a great investment though. I think most people don’t realize how quickly they’ll need to replace their solid dumbbells if they continue to progress.

“Joining a gym has nothing to do with getting into shape!” I completely agree. I work out at home. Always have.

Hey Dr J!

I’ve seen those combo machines. One I used to do for a while was a reaction bag. I think they are all good to keep a workout interesting!

I tell people at my fitness center that what they do away from the gym has more to do with them being successful at health and fitness than what they do at the gym! Now I’ll add a little garage advice to that, thanks John!

I have an Everlast speed bag/heavy bag platform in my garage
