I'd say, get one that has a 15% incline. I know Life Fitness is good, but I'm sure they're expensive too.

Life Fitness or Star Trac.

Good commercial machines.
Bigger motors, longer tracks, heavier built, low maintenance, etc.

Keep an eye on Craig's List.

With a full set of dumbbells and ankle weights you can get quite a variety of workouts - including core and upper body - on a treadmill.

Got in a gym session today, took it easy, did 30 minutes on the step mill and a few light cable exercises with the good arm. Saw a guy who looked just like Battue in there, he was in the water aerobics class.

25 min treadmill intervals, increasing BP up to failure, leg presses sets of 350, curl sets up to failure at 50lbs, back extension sets 115, bunch of crunches, 4x25 Push-ups, some stretching and finished off with 25 min on the stepper.

When the arm is better make an appointment with the eye Doc.

Additions: this hot milf was doing squats and leg splits in front of me. Second time she has made herself obvious. Maybe we will jump in the pool one of these days.

Go for the deep end.....

Wouldn't be at all dangerous. She was wearing a natural flotation jacket....

I see a correlation here: Smoke has arm trouble and can't see...

That's not what I meant, it was just getting deep in here.

Scott: No correlation, it's my left arm that's injured and I'm right-handed. Of course, if the right arm had been injured, I'd be fine, variety is the spice of life.

What you meant is obviously different than what I know.

Cheers,

Vek- You make me not like myself...

Lower body with mostly machines, cable work and lat pulldowns with the good arm, and core plyometrics.

50 minutes cardio machines and a 3 mile walk today.

Did a long hike for groceries yesterday and they had steak on sale, got some and carried them back to the truck. Felt good.

Did you at least bone 'em out before that?

Post reps completed to comments.

72 reps. I dropped a few rounds. I can tell I haven't been as diligent with the heavy stuff as I should be.

VEK- Looks like you found your strength again! Congrats on the numbers.

Had the first PT session on the shoulder today. Range of motion stuff only. I'm getting impatient already.

90 minutes on bike trainer last night
Strength training tonight

First week back at it went pretty good. Docs ok'd me to quit compression sock on leg I had DVT in 2013. Another milestone though there may be more to this one until it's totally resolved. Still feels a little weird when I work it.

I'm with you, the Rocky Balboa/Mike Tyson workout. Some body weight exercises here and there always keeps me in decent enough shape.
