Building your own home gym? Don't forget an equipment mat. When placed underneath cardio or weight machines, mats help reduce noise and vibration and even protect your hardwood or carpeted floor. You'll notice a difference in your joints and ligaments, too, as the cushion helps reduces shock and jarring. From Marcy.
As always, please consult your personal physician before beginning any diet or exercise program.
Take a realistic approach: If you work consistently and follow the program, you maximize your results.
