Question: Treadmill or Total Fitness Gym (Chuck Norris-type) - which is best?
Question Description:
Hi, hoping you all can help me. I can only afford one workout machine. My main thing is that I want to lose weight and inches. We have a basic resistance training machine with a pulley and weights in the back but since I started using it 6 months ago, I have actually *added* some inches, and gained 7 pounds! I don't understand this and it's freaking me out. We eat healthy and watch our daily fat grams, have done that for years and continued to when we started using this. However, I have been slowly gaining since I began using it... so I have stopped. I am 37 and a mom.My husband and I are considering getting something that would be more geared toward helping burn fat, and are trying to decide between a good treadmill or a generic total fitness gym. I have read that people have lost weight and burned fat with the tfg, but I also know a treadmill would do well too.Which do you think would be best? Does anyone have weight loss experience with either one?Thanx! Amy :)

Answer#1: total gym.... hands down... o.k. here is the thing, people and i mean it seems like everyone is loosing grip on reality when it comes to wieght loss. diets are to the point of making me mad, most do more harm than good. see what you eat is not near as important as how you use it. here is a fact, and remmeber this because as i just said it is fact. there is only one thing that burns fat...only one....it's called muscle. thats is fact. even cardio, yep your heart is a muscle.. and your body when hungry will first burn muscle first if it is not in use... so dieting without excersise is a step back wards. seriously.. and i have heard "but i dont want to be a muscle women/man" i'll tell you what when you start to look that way back off, i''ll garantee by then you will be skinniy. And its not hard seriously, just focus on using muscles, and you'll start loosing inches. i say inches because muscle wieghts more than fat, so initiallly you may gain wieght, but loose inches, and that is something to get excited about. Because that means you have more fat buring potential. and the inchest will go faster. Eventually you will balence out and the wieght will drop. Why do you think it was easier when you were younger?, it's not age, it's strength. It can be anything lift your hands over your head till your arms are tired. hold your leg out straight till its tired, press on the wall, stand on your toes... these are things you can do anywhere anytime that will help strengthin your body..and ultimately make you loose wieght.. Trust me its fact. the problem is society is lazy, new inventions make life easier and easier, thats why as a whole we are getting fat because life is requiring less strength.
Answer#2: I go for TFG.
