Question about my fitness plan

DavidBonney Posts: 2 Joined: 2005/05/06	2005/05/06, 04:13 PM Under the fitness plan section it asks what equipment you have access too. I do not have a gym membership becuase it was too hard to go with my 1 year old son. But at home I have purchased a treadmill and a weight bench set with 300 lbs. of weight and a curl bar. But those particular items do not equate to freeweights or machines. Is there a way to put into my fitness plan those items so I don't have to put that I have no equipment? I want to utilize what I do have.

I was hoping for a good chest and arms program that would utilize my bench and weights. Any suggestions. P.S. thanks for the quick response that is awsome!!! ============ Quoting from charlie826: What you have is indeed freeweights. Just check weights only. Your treadmill will be fine for cardio.

	2005/05/06, 04:32 PM Dumbells are really cheap if you just buy the bars. You can do two handed exercises with your 2 bars. Shaun is right that with FT pro you can swap exercises. The movements with dumbells Vs barbells are similar though. The dumbells provide a bit more isolation except on certain movements like flyes. -------------- Dyslexics of the world...UNTIE!!!!!!
