So far, I like him my online stuff is going, though I am finding that I have to make adjustments. They don’t seem to be bad ones to make; I do have to remember to wind down and not go on too long.
About working out: if there is one piece of gym equipment that one was limited to and one was NOT allowed a treadmill, pull-up bar or barbell, I’d pick this one:
The Exer-genie is an excellent “bang for the buck” piece of equipment and it travels just about everywhere; easy to carry. It does not replace weights nor a pull up bar, but you can do quite a bit of resistance training with it.
And, it can be adjusted so that your super strong friend can use it, as can your weaker, elderly friend.
I used one when I was in high school.
