Anybody have or Use a Tonal?

It’s cool and definitely heavy enough to get a good workout.

But, like anything else. You have to consistently use it to get results and be worth the money.

I would get a pull-up bar and a heavy kettlebell. That would take up very little space. Be much cheaper and be just as effective if you follow a consistent program.

Jeff Landry passed constitutional carry so you don’t have to work out anymore

Don’t have the space for free weights and planning to possibly put the tonal in our bedroom

Why can't you go to the gym before everyone wakes up?

So with a pull up bar he can do pull ups, bar hangs and some ab exercises. With a heavy, let’s say 50lbs+, kettlebell he has some options but not a ton.

It’s just not a good suggestion when he’s obviously looking for more of a full body, cable type machine option.

It’s kind of like saying just go for a run and do push ups and sit ups…which are actually probably better options than you gave.

Very few people can do pull ups and very few have any idea of what to do with a heavy kettlebell.

Yeah

Did I do that right or are there others you like to use for your great value adds?

I have one, it's the only reason I workout. I like the programs, I like it showing my status, increase in strength, etc.

shite, he could get two moderate weight kettlebells, or dumbbells, and just to dumbbell thrusters and he'd get a good workout out of it. Add in a pullup bar, and he could do an old school Crossfit Fran WOD.

There are hundreds of youtube videos that go over just single kettlebell workouts.

But if young children are the issue, just get up early and head to the local Anytime Fitness. That's what I did when my kid was young. 5am workouts are a bitch, but its better than doing nothing.

OP.....Mingo is right

but if you dont have room for a gym, lets do this instead before you go spend 5k on a tonal

1) buy a above the door way pullup bar from rogue. the jammer model LINK

2) buy a set of wooden gymnastics rings LINK


this is going to put you out less than $200. you can email me at

and I will send you over body by rings. you can adjust the rings to what every difficulty you can handle at the moment to complete the program. Add in bodyweight leg exercises using leverage or single leg version to increase difficulty.

do this for 12 weeks and see where you are before you go drop 5k on a tonal

if you can do 12 weeks on this, then spend 1200 on a nice set of adjustable DBs and an adjustable bench that you can stand in the corner before spending money on a tonal.

i love electronic resistance like the voltra 1 and others but not tonal and certainly not someone starting out working out at home as it will end up being a huge waste of money more than likely.
