I bought a multi gym from Argos last year with the intention of turning my garage into a gym and using it on a regular basis. It's been assembled for about a year, I used it once last July and since then it's just been an obstacle in my garage
I usually do a 6 week exercise programme 6 - 8 weeks before I head out to the Phil's so that my gut doesn't hang over my shorts when I'm on the beach. Nothing too strenuous, 50 - 100 sit ups a day and about 100 press ups a day. It's something fairly simple that can be done in the house, without any equipment and 20 or so minutes spare every day. Jogging or cycling is far too ambitious for me.
Anyway, I got home from work a bit early today, dusted the multigym off and spent half an hour on that, so I should think I won't be able to move my arms, neck, shoulders or back for the rest of this week
I'm not looking to turn myself into a nightclub doorman type with muscles on muscles, I just want to tone myself up and burn a few pounds off, so I'm going for repetitions rather than outright weight lifted.
