/fit/ my mother wants to buy one of these she thinks it will magically spot reduce fat and reval her abs. I raged massively needless to say. To top it off my sister tried to stop me from talking my mum out of it "it strenthens the core muscles", I went on to talk about how light free weights should be used to build functional strength and my mum was like "I don't want to get big!". So much rage... Anyway I think I managed to talk her out of it, now how can I talk her into getting a squat cage + bench instead?
Read what Rippetoe writes in SS about machines vs light weights... then regurgitate the information back to her in.Just remember to break it down into bitesize piece so her mind can consume the information.
falcon punches, lots of them
So, you're raging on your mother about being dumb, but then mentioned shit about light weights and "functional" training?Haha.Haha.
PilatesMost of that is about building the core and wouldn't make you hueg and stuff.
