Due to a lack of exercise and too much good, lazy living I am now in rehab with disc problems in my neck and lower back. I have a good bit of weight to lose, and the diet prescribed by my doctor is working well. In rehab they have a bunch of machines to use, and I am beginning to actually enjoy then, now that most of the pain is gone. Problem is what to do whem I leave the rehab process and lose the use of thier equiptment. A local gym is out of the question due to my rural location. What I need to find is some compact equiptment to use at home, Space is at a premium here, so compact size is needed. What recomendations does the group have? Thanks... fullclip Edit to add, I have a very good treadmill I use, just want stregnth as directed by the doctor for my shoulders and neck area.... |

How about some Powerblocks and a nice folding bench like this one from Hoist? I own both of these pieces of equipment as I'm short on space as well. I'm sure some of the more experienced guys will back me when I suggest you can get a pretty decent workout from dumbbells and a bench. |
I could have been more specific, I guess. The target area is the neck and shoulder muscles, espically the front shoulder muscles for rehab purposes. Then general all-over upper body. .. Thanks.. Fullclip |
