If you live in the East Bay and are looking for weight loss, the best way is to achieve this is to not use any fitness equipment. You don't need to spend alot of money on a gym membership or some piece of fitness equipment you saw on late night television.
All you need is your own body weight. The best way for weight loss is to start doing functional training. Functional training is a style which incorporates resistance and cardio training with your own body weight. Functional training also involves free motion exercises that mimics everyday movement.
There is one piece of fitness equipment that you can purchase that is highly effective in your goals of weight loss. The TRX is a brand new piece of equipment that involves functional training that is shown to increase weight loss at a faster rate than traditional weight training.
You can hang the TRX anywhere and get a great workout. The first time I used the TRX, I was completely amazed on how hard and challenging it was. Basically, when exercising on the TRX, you are engaging your upper body and core. This is extremely hard because you are working against your body weight.
The TRX is just like kettlebell training in that it promotes weight loss at a faster rate and can be taken anywhere for a quick workout.
So if you don't like spending long hours in the gym or lifting weights, then this kind of fitness equipment is the best alternative.
