Machines
Shop on AmazonUse commercial gym resistance machines as a starter strength routine, especially if you’re intimidated by free weights or don’t have a trainer. A simple circuit of machine-based exercises helps teach basic movement patterns and lets you gauge effort more safely and consistently. It’s a practical way to build confidence, reduce technique demands, and ease into strength training.
