I am wondering is it possible to get a full workout and lose weight on approximately 20 or so machines? I have access to weights, although no barbells, stair steppers, bikes, treadmills and some other various assorted machines. I am thinking I may have to adjust some of the exercises to work with what I have available to me. Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.
