(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay so I am a lightweight weighing in at like 156 and I can flux to welter. Well I would love to remain stable at welter so well since I am very busy and its junior year I am looking to invest into an at home gym because I want to work out but I am busy and Ill use some money I have know plus my christmas cash, no video games this year I REALLY want sirius stuff. Yes I already know about p90x and its not exactly what I am talking about, yes I understand it works as I know coaches at my school use it but you have to keep with an actual schedule and I rather have an at home gym such as the tower 200(what I am looking into) I am also 16.

Okay so of course I have some questions & concerns as I am sure some people here have to like to workout or have something like these at their house.

Questions.

1. What one would you recremmend to a 16 year old my size, and why? Now when you mention an at home gym please keep in mind cost, and of course SIZE, that is probly the two MOST important things as well I live in a big family and I dont have lots of $$$$(well not like high hundreds, maybe)

2. Cost, how much is it?

3. Does it give a GOOD at home work out, to keep me in fighter shape for my age without going body builder crazy and well is it worth the time?

Concerns

1. Okay some of ya'll know my parents are sorta.. Well my concern is with them. This is something I REALLY want and well whenever you see these commcericals for these contraptions, some look too good etc and well they make it seemed like its for people who want to get super ripped. I dont think its really marketed to people my age who are like 16 but really the tower 200 is basically 200 exercises that are on my door and really what I would do at school with my coaches or at a gym, I just dont think my parents dont want me to get too buff but I would like to be stronger for when I start fighting up again in the summer. So really its basically what I would lift in gym class at school, not really different.

2. Cost $$$$ not sure, it says its like $15 to try it(tower200) but really how much are these things to fully own as I never brought one?


Well please remain on topic and discuss this as I would like to know what people think that have used the tower 200 or any other at home gym system, really I am looking at the tower 200 as it seems reasonable and well its small and gives a good work out. Give your ideas and opinions about at home work outs and also how I could settle getting one of these with my parents?

Thanks!

I say stick to free weights and a pull up bar. - reccomend the dumbells with the clips on the end so all you gotta do is slide plates on and make them as heavy as you want...a nice bench is about 100-200 dollars on amazon, a pull-up bar is about 10, and dumbell sets are 50 bucks at most. PS: you won't get super buff overnight lol


Okay where do people think that I have never worked out before? I have a million times, I already have muscle I just want to work out from home and I have never done so at my own house so I am wondering whats good for an at home gym. My gosh people are this ignorant and really I aint paying for a bench.

Google, Bodylastics. Happy

**** Bowflex and all those other things. I would get a wegiht bench and a set of dumbells. It would cost you 100-200 bucks and you can do a lot of good lifting with them. When you buy the weight bench, it can also act as a bench press. No need to invest $1000 in a bowflex imo

well I would rather go with resistance because of how my mom is all nit picky with stuff being clean but yeah I am trying to find a good set of dumbbells where you can manage their weight.

Just grab a bench with the squat rack included, maybe some dumbbells. You can do so many different exercises with them. Remember to work out your legs too. Or else you will be Mr. Chicken Legs.
