treadmill or weight machine
Since having a baby I fell WAY off the working out wagon, but I'm ready to hop back on. I would like to purchase a workout machine, because going to the gym is just not going to happen right now.
What do you think would be the best to purchase...a treadmill or a weight machine?
TIA!

Definitely a treadmill. I would just get hand weights to do strength training...no need for a big machine.

I agree. You can use your body weight as well as hand weights for resistance rather than a weight machine. But a treadmill is so worth it for cardio.

Re: treadmill or weight machine
Neither. I would just join the gym.
I had a treadmill and NEVER used it. the at home ones aren't really that great, no matter how good they say they are...it's never really gym quality. And the bow flex, you can do workout videos and get a similar result.
The only thing I would get for at home would be a stationary bike.

Treadmill without a doubt - running can amazingly change your body.

Re: treadmill or weight machine
start off with a treadmill... there is a lot of weight traning you can do with normal house hold items...
cardio is KEY in weight loss
