corkman Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Hello Fitness Friends. The gym at my condo is quite limited. I dont have the time or inclination to go to external "pay for" gym. So I've got to work with the tools I've got. Please see pictures. Can anyone recommend a routine, online or otherwise, that I can do using this equipment. My objective is general fitness and getting in shape. I don't need to get "ripped", just like to firm up and be a bit stronger. I run alot and have a BMI of about 25-26. Cardio is covered. Just want a bit more of a balanced fitness regime. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hi the dumbell weights are just too low. So not of much use.You can do pull ups on that one machine and a bit of chest on the other. But its just too limited to do much.You can also do abs on that one machine and dips. Sorry that i cant be of much help. One of the rules of gaining muscle is that you can increase load. Given the equipment there it will be hard to do. I also dont see any cardio machine also important in lowering bodyfat.Main thing is also you need to change your diet even in a perfect gym and working out great you cant outtrain a bad diet.I take it your overweight that is probably because of your diet. That is why i made the previous remark about diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 If you do not have heavy-ish weights then super sets are for you...As I have shoulder joint probs I have had to go that route, and it works for me. For instance, tricep pulldown, use a weight where you can complete this.. Pull down, hold for five seconds, release slowly, repeat five times then do the same motion with no pause 10 times, so a total of 15 reps. Then relax for a minute or so, repeat the routine 4 times.. You can do this stuff with other muscles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Trans There is hardly any weight or machines there. The dumbells that i saw would not be heavier than 10 kg. If you look at the machine its a pec deck combined with bench press. I owned exactly that machine when i first got here. It was not really useful, not heavy and the cables stretched during exercise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I have actually tones myself up the last 3 months working out every other day. Iam no workout expert and have about the same in my complex. You can do at least 6 different exercises on that machine in the last photo. Back, shoulders, lats, chest. The dumbells you show are a high of 30 pounds which is actually an ok weight for curls if you are just looking for some toning doing multiple sets at high numbers.
