Best thing to do is buy a mountain bike and use it. get out, get fit and discover the area you live in. It is a very addictive sport and once you get going you will be hooked.

I use nothing but a sandbag and adjustable dumbbells for my training now, and it works better than all of the equipment in the gym combined. Stick to compound exercises that train the large muscle groups, use adequate resistance and you never need to touch another piece of fancy gym equipment again!

Hey John,

First, don’t start strength training until you are completely over the flu.

I would definitely start dumbbell training before purchasing any more equipment. Always establish the habit for free if you can Then spend money on it.

I would get the pull up bar. I have an Iron Gym pull-up bar at home. I don’t have and wouldn’t get the Ab Roller though.

Hi Dr. Kal,

I bought a mountain bike last year that is gathering dust because I found I like running better than biking for cardio. This year I am considering the ab roller (aka: devil’s wheel) and a walmart pullup bar that will fit inside a door jamb.

My reasoning is I don’t make it into the garage to do my weight bench exercises (I’ve had that for years)… too cold, too much clutter or mostly too lazy.

But I reason if I pull a few dumb bells from the garage and cut my cardio in half to 30 minutes, 5 days a week.

Then do the other half of my work outs in the strengh building area with a sensible diet… that should be the best of all worlds.

So my question is do you think I should incorporate the dumb bells first before buying anything? I’m getting over the flu so I’m still waiting to start up again.
