There is just a tonne of good stuff in this thread...
I just moved out recently and have been out of the habit of exercising for quite a while..
I've got 2 sets of dumbells and a small exercise bench so I can vary my exercises... I had a big chin-up/dip station at my old house but havn't moved it to the new house yet as I don't have any room for it..
The crown jewel of my equipment is a super expensive exercise bike like the ones they have in gyms.. Fully programmable with slopes etc... It can even save your workout and you can race against yourself next time... I enjoy using that while watching a movie or television.. I think it helps HUGELY to find a way of enjoying your exercise... As much as possible anyway, while your still pushing yourself...
I also had a punching bag, speed bag & double ended bag in my old garage, but again I don't really have anywhere to put these in the new house which is really sad..
I'm looking at getting one of those stands that Mick bought... I know it doesn't allow much freedom of movement around the bag, but i'm not going to be competing so i'm willing to accept that downfall of not having the free movement.. I can still work myself hard, as boxing is the one exercise/fitness thing that I genuinally look forward to....
Anyway Mick, anytime i'm looking at getting back into my exercise, I visit my 2 favourite websites on the subject... I've posted these about 15 times on Saddo's over the years, but it's because they are so inspirational and have good info.... The same guy runs them both, and he actually sells the program, but the website alone has enough great info to get you started and actually enough info to really get you good results....
Sometime when I have the money though I think i'll grab one of his programs... But check the websites out anyway and bookmark them to come back too.
