[BlindTlk] Accessible Strength Training

[Brandon Olivares]

I’ve been wanting to get into strength training because I’m losing weight and want to make sure I maintain muscle.

Last year I went to the gym for a bit and worked with a personal trainer, but it was expensive and transportation was a big issue. So, I’d rather do it at home.

I’ve been looking into options like resistance bands or adjustable dumbbells, but I don’t know the motions well enough to feel comfortable learning that on my own.

So I’m strongly considering something like the Bowflex that has a bunch of built-in exercises for different parts of the body. But, I don’t know how accessible it would be, and wanted to see if anyone else has had experience with something like this. It sounds accessible from what I’ve found about it, but I don’t want to buy it and then find out there’s an issue I can’t navigate around.

I’m open to other suggestions as well.

Thanks,
Brandon
