Gym machine.. Someone else mention what they enjoyed the most at the gym and I thought it would be a good thread....

SO what is your favorite?

Mine is the assisted pullup/dip machine. I love the motivation it gives me that one day I might not need a machine that holds 60lbs for me to pull the rest of myself up :)

    Weight machine or cardio machine?

    I would say the cross trainer. I prefer the free weights than being restricted by a machine but yeah the pull down is good as I feel it hits multiple areas

    I have no idea what its called because I am totally lost at the gym, but the machine you sit and either squeeze your thighs together or push them apart. I feel like it works exactly the part of my legs I want to look better! =)

    The one that I always thank the lord when its facing the wall. Nothing worse than opening your legs to the whole of the gym...especially if you are a bit...erm sweaty in certain areas!

    The ones in my gym face the windows to the parking lot. Not sure which is worse.

    My favorites are barbells, a pullup bar (can't do a full pullup yet but I'm getting closer) and the treadmill/bike for cardio if it's wet or cold outside.

    Power rack with an adjustable bench, good barbell, and plenty of weights, no machines required. :)

    My new favorite "toy" at my gym is the Precor AMT (Adaptive Motion Trainer). Kicks my "butt". I used to do 3-4 miles on a standard elliptical and barely break a sweat. I now do the same on this thing and am DRENCHED when finished.

    Note: I have a really bad right knee so I can't run on a treadmill. But I can "run" on this for short bursts.
