Hey,

My family just bought a weider full body 5000 machine. I converted my exercise plan here to machines but most of the exercises cannot be done on my weider... Should I switch the plan back to no machines or could someone tell me what the equivelent (Spelling?) of certain exercises is on my machine.

The Total Body 5000 is alot like a Total Gym, if that helps any.

Thanks!
Cliff

I just looked and I can't find any exercises on the list that I can do exactly the same way. The Machine I have is one of those that uses your own body weight, no free weights or anything... I cannot join a gym right now so I'm kinda wondering what the heck I should do...

the machine most likely has a fold out brouchre that will hve what it can do. It should come with a workout guide

Would it work to substitute the FT exercises for ones the affect the same area? It did come with a poster showing what It can do... but its really different from the things FT shows.

Thanks,

YEs as along as the same muscles are being used it is ok to sub ANY different exercise for it
