It takes two to make a thing go right. It sure does. Can we be healthy, while looking and feeling great, if we chose to ignore either running or lifting, which many people often do., while many more don’t think about running or lifting weights, but those people are near hopeless, and can be addressed at another time. For now, this discussion will focus on those who do exercise on a regular basis, but have a hard time incorporating both aspects of exercising into their workouts. For those of you who do not know the two different areas of exercise, and they can overlap at times, is cardiovascular exercise (running on treadmills, using elliptical machines, rowing on rowing machines, playing sports), and strength exercise (weight lifting).

A great example of of strength workout would include warming up, then spending about an hour lifting weights, and then a cool down. For example, on a home gym machine such as the BodyCraft Xpress Pro, one could do three sets of chest presses at 8 reps a piece. Once those are completed, it would be a good idea to work on the home gym’s triceps station. Tricep pull-downs can be performed on almost all home gym machines these days. Home fitness gyms that do not include some sort of triceps pull down  machines are out of date and not worth having, so if you have an older home gym machine, wake up, smell the coffee, and at least get a home gym machine with a triceps station.
