Home Gym Equipment ...

Home Gym Equipment ...

Postby phoenix » Thu Jan 24, 2008 7:10 pm

OK the lovely weather, relaxed living and sumptuous food and wines have started to take their toll on my weight. :(

I seriously need to exercise and I am too top-heavy to just start running (yet).

So I need some home gym equipment as I don't want to take a car journey to get to a gym and the nearest one is 75 minutes walk away (which is exercise in itself, but would take up my whole morning to accomplish).

Where can I go to purchase some home gym equipment?

Ideally I would like a Rowing Machine and a Skier.

I can travel to any of the major towns if someone can tell me where the best shops for supplying home gym equipment are located.

Alternatively used equipment (in good order and quality) would be considered.

Many thanks all. :D

to you is the same one as to Orokliniservices about the gas heater :
10 km run around the town should help.
And it's cheaper than any equipment

I agree and that is what I would normally resort to ..... but I am a little uncomfortably top heavy at the moment and I need to lose about 3 kilos to jog comfortably (it's a female thing :lol: ).

Love swimming, hate wet suits. (The sea is tantalisingly on my doorstep).

Gotta wait for the weather.... but thanks purdey. :D

Yes, it is a very funny monologue :lol:

I would check more of his stuff out .... but that would entail sitting around for even longer .....
