Best home gyms and exercise equipment

We have a tie for the best home gym exercise equipment because your body needs both resistance training and aerobic training to lose weight effectively and still maintain lean muscle mass.

Maintaining lean muscle mass is important as this is what gives a body its shape, and actually promotes higher calorie burning when at rest.  For every 1 pound of lean muscle mass you gain (or converted from fat), means you body will burn 60 more calories per day.  While that doesn't sound like much, it adds up to 6 pounds of fat that is burned over a year.

When people age without resistance training the body loses a half pound or more of lean muscle mass each year, bones weaken, and if caloric intake is not adjusted, they gain additional fat.  Resistance training helps your body slow the natural physical process of aging.
