  • Cycleops is a great brand. My trainer is a cheap trainer from ebay, noisy but does the job. What matters the most is you must enjoy the cardio exercise you do, no matter what you get. If you hate what you do, it will never work. It just so happens that I love cycling and running that is why this bike and my treadmill are…

  • I have a treadmill at home, it's great, helped me a lot. Then I bought a road bike last month and hooked it up on a trainer. And ever since I have not ran on my treadmill because I can bike for hours with no pain and I enjoy it so much. I wish I bought a bike and a trainer years ago. I will only use this trainer this…

  • Nice work man! I too was doing 5x5's but last year I injured my back due to sports and I stopped. This new year I was at my heaviest at 220 lbs and I am just 5'8. After taking this seriously I went back to MFP and since January 1 I have been logging my calories and I went back to the gym a week ago. With cardio (running…

  • What if my wife can barely do a 35 lb bar? What should she use to get stronger? Can she use dumbbells first till she can manage the bar? We have some unused adjustable dumbbells that goes up to 45 lbs. She is barely 5 feet tall and weighs 95 lbs. She is really weak right now and she really wants to get stronger. She also…
