Reply With QuoteBig 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 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.Optimum Sports Performance
