Big Dan, if you are just starting back and very deconditioned. I think the best thing you can do is a total body workout. focus on compound movements and keep the volume low for right now.....2 sets x 12-15 repetitions. Work on developing a solid base level of conditioning. Set up some cardio for a few days a week too and just get back to moving around. If you are that overweight, I would stay away from treadmills and anything with impact. Get on the bike.

I am not an eliptical trainer guy. I find the motion strange. It is tough to get a good feel on it IMO and it is even tougher to do interval work on it because it always feels like you are rolling one leg over the other more. I like the bike. I like bikes with the moving arms as part of them (dual action). I don't like treadmills so much. I do like rowers and versa climbers the best though. The stairmill is okay. |
