Advice on home gym equipment

pollypocket10

Hi there, I am currently pregnant and hoping for a piece of training equipment for at home from Santa.

I will be on maternity leave after Xmas and once baby comes, free time to get to the gym will be very limited so I would like to keep up doing some exercise at home.

I'm trying to decide between a bike(& a spinning dvd) or a cross trainer. I can only afford the one piece so looking for some advice on which would be the best option?

Thanks

Personally, I would get a kettlebell or 2, a speed rope, a chin up bar, a exercise mat and a stability ball. Cost wise, you are talking less than your mid level exercise bike, with more variety and you will be hitting more components of fitness.

SIX PACK

Wel if you already have a bike then just get 1 of these an "Exercise Bike Stand" Any good cycle shop would have them
