  • I've been using the Cybex Arc Trainer at Planet Fitness and it gets my heart rate up and is easier on your body as far as joints and such. It does work your legs depending on settings. I really like it, well I guess as much as anyone can like a cardio machine. I also feel it burns calories really well. These are just my…

  • ClubSilencio it's not that I can't use free weights. I like free weights. I am just working out alone, so some things like benching would be difficult for me without a spotter. It's doable, but at my age, not that I am old, just out of shape, I want to use more machine based equipment, as I get back into it. This is maybe…

  • You also make some valid points DavPul and as I said I am not trying to argue. Machines are machines and at this point in my life that is what I am looking to use.

He told me they had a new option and for $20 a month I could get everything the $30 plan offered except the child care. That was OK with me since I have no kids and I made the…

  • The fast food was the hardest to give up. I am a photojournalist at a newspaper and lived on fast food, eating when I could between assignments. I have learned you can still go to fast food places, but you have to watch what you get. I have found Wendy's a good place to go. Now instead of burgers, I get the grilled…

  • I was eating way too much. If we were having spaghetti, I would load up half the plate or more with pasta. I just did not know what a normal portion looked like and was shocked when I found out. For my evening snack I would regularly have two Tastykake Juniors at 400 calories each and think nothing of it. I was having…
