I am 5'6" 130 lbs and want to tone up my stomach, arms, inner things and waist. I guess the main problem I have is not knowing what to eat. I also workout at home using only dumbbells, a medicine ball and a stability ball. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, please feel free to share.

My problems is that I joined the fitness program and its starts Monday but a lot of the exercises that I printed out that you do, I don't have the equipment for. Can other things be used in place of that equipment? I don't have a barbell. Some of the exercises are for machines and I workout at home with only dummbells, medicine ball, ankle weights and a stability ball. Any suggestions? ============ Quoting from ischjli: Welcome.

In the future, you'll need to update your personal profile by choosing free weights only. For a list of exercises by muscle group, go to the main menu, ft Exercise Resources, then Muscle Targeting. Choose the appropriate muscle group and there you go... Good luck! -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
tah1971 Posts: 11 Joined: 2002/06/13	2002/06/13, 06:29 PM I did choose free weights only. I'm on the weight loss, tone, definition program and I printed out my exercise schedule for next week and the exercises I wasn't familiar with, I printed them out and some are using machinery. I don't know. I'll figure something out. Thanks for your help.

If you look under FT Resources - Muscle Targeting, maybe you can find some substitute exercises. It's kind of nice having a bar though. Why not join a gym? I once went to a gym with my Dad when I was in Duluth before, it was very nice and very cheap (at least compared to Chicago prices).
