When it comes to keeping fit there are many things that can really help and one is a Cross Trainer. These work the entire body, legs, bottom and for arms the rowing machine. These were my favourites. I did used to own an home one, but no longer, but is worth investing if you really gonna definitely use it.
Then I disovered a step machine and loved it. Great to use to tone the body and I would at one point using everytime I went to the gym and is a great piece of equipment. If I were to have a home gym again, this would be an item I'd deffnitley buy.
I also like the treadmill, and if you are taking up running, but be aware it is different when using a treadmill to running outside. Treadmills when on the right mode can help when running outdoors, in terms of building your fitness, as if new this is the place to start is to up your fitness first and then add different things into a workout, to then work on toning, muscle building, but gradually.
At the moment I use dumbell, wrist and ankle weights and a exercise mat. This still helps me with exercise and I have written a new blog on my other site: https://sportsandfitnesspassion.wordpress.com
If you like to try out different workouts it is good to learn from others who are qualified to teach about exercise and make sure get the technique right to prevent any injuries.
When it comes to using equipment then always follow instructions, but this is where joining a gym to start off, is good and having training staff to show you. There are great ones for arms, legs and full body, like the pull down machines and lateral press. They work for the entire top half of the body and try each one but safely and if they do an induction take them up on it, for your own safety.
So keep getting fit and active and it is worth while when you do find the equipment you love using.
