Weight machines to avoid....

Here's an interesting article about certain weight machines. I thought it was informative.

Great info.

I actually despise using the weight machines at the gym. I've tried several times to like them but I just can't. I'm not even sure why....

Oh well. Between Cathe and Tony, I don't need those stinkin' machines anyway!

Interesting article, Carolyn. Thanks for posting it.

When I worked with a PT she split my time about evenly between machines and free weights. My sister is working with a trainer (he has a degree in exercise science or something like that) and he almost never puts her on the machines. He hates them. I've always preferred free weights and I've had more gains in strength using them than I ever did with machines. I do miss the cable equipment. You can mimic cable workouts with a band but it's not the same.
