If you’re looking to maximize your space and save some money, a TRX system and a few kettlebells will do the same as a full on gym membership, only you’ll get a much more functional workout. You can make the workouts easy or so hard you’ll struggle to sit on the ******* for a week. Hundreds of free workout plans online.

You don't need much to get started.A set of dumbells,a mat and a incline/decline bench and you've got everything you need for 100's of different exercises.If you have any sort of back issues at all I would highly recommend getting your core in reasonable shape first before any heavy lifts and at least one day with a personal trainer to learn proper form.Many people including myself go into this thing with good intentions only to wind up injuring yourself.This is all I had to start and it takes up about a 8x6 piece of floor in my bedroom.

I just recently purchased this piece of equipment for ab training and just love it.Used to do boring planks for hours on end but this machine makes it fun and keeps your mind off the discomfort.

Interesting . What model did you get I see there’s 3. Might be something to look into. Amazing how many of us suffer from back pain. It sucks!

Bit off topic , I suffer from back pain as well. Been taking CBD drops for the last month and haven't even had a single Tylenol. Used to take 6-8 a day . Might not work for everyone but does for me. As said above, a strong core helps for sure, but when in pain, it's hard to do the exercises.

I got the Personal one that's colored orange.Bought it off ebay for $229.00 Canadian which was the best deal I could find.It was just recently developed through a Kickstarter program and is an expensive piece of equipment but all you need is a smartphone and the games are free to download with more being developed.I love the thing.Used to dread the 15 mins. of planks I do at the end of every weight session but this thing actually makes it fun.Also if you suffer from back pain planks are the least invasive
exercise to do as they are a static with no movement unlike crunches or many other ab work.Here's a link if your interested in trying one.https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Stealth-Core-Trainer-Personal-Get-Ripped-Abs-and-Strong-Back-Dynamic-Ab-Pla/183445427245?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Good deal Tains.When I bought mine more than a month ago,they were like $260 on amazon.Still a lot of money for a fancy piece of plastic but worth it for the entertainment value they provide to an otherwise boring and discomforting exercise.
