bestlifeonline.com— These machines often put heavier loads on the back and joints than is necessary, and almost always miss the mark when it comes to replicating the movements found in everyday life.

I am sure the petite lady that gives the massage is thinking the same thing in return. Dude... go to the gym. In six months you will thank you self. Really, go.
uhm? I don't wan't to say that it's not possible to get a good workout at home but it's 1000 times harder than at the gym. The gym also has an social element thats worth a whole lot. Team up with a friend that has some motivation and you will be getting results in just a months.
My friend who owns a gym that uses progressive resistance exercise protocols had a humorous response to this article: "I always get a good laugh from these types of articles. They always start off by alluding to dangerous nature of the exercise described, and then give an exercise such as the one legged body squat as the solution. Without going into the details too much, one legged squats are an example of unilateral loading and are considered very unsafe. Dr. McGill has written much on the subject of exercise and has been a strong opponent of machine based exercise, while backing the functional exercise movement. We have had these discussions ad-nauseum with individuals and I always have to point out the obvious flaw. I have an overweight, severely deconditioned client, with a hip replacement. Why would I use a one legged body squat with her? Also, body weight only exercise offers low level stimulus at best and has no method of progression, which translates into little to no muscular growth. Why would a healthy individual desire this? Lastly, exercise design principles that are followed during the design phase of equipment, such as the ones used in our facility, suggest machines must track joint and muscle function. The author of this article suggests that the leg, by nature, is not designed to extend?"
when i rehabbed my shoulder, cables were the way to go. and by cables i mean those colored rubber straps you see. those and lightweight dumbbells are what got me back.
@chrillenDid I say that prick? No, I said its SOMETHING TO POINT OUT. I am just saying these "get out and exercise" comments are just dickishness unless they provide some sort of help or options, or useful advice.

I don't think that you have to aviod all of these if you use them propperly and at the correct weight. Many of these exercises and machines can be used and done without incedent and gain positive results. <a class="user" href="http://www.edrugsearch.com/about/">http://www.edrugsearch.com/about/</a>
