[QUOTE="mekalu2k4, post: 921256, member: 171561"] Well, I am now back from my summer trip to India/ China, that is why I am not active on the forum. Advised a few T2 folks over last few weeks on weight reduction. However, frankly - I could not suggest anything for most of the T2 folks I met due to several reasons - some have knee conditions, some are too old and fragile, some are too obese, some have very high upper body mass and weaker legs etc; some have heart condition, some have thyroid or kidney or liver - list is long. It is not possible to generalize 'advise' that works for all. It is known fact that humans may behave and respond differently from others. Then I told myself - better be active, eat healthy, do your workouts regularly. Coming to the point raised by OP - 1. Generally people tend to do well in gyms due to various aspects - environment, curiosity in using machines, presence of others, sense of money [that is paid] and time [may be fixed]. Most gyms have trainers who normally can help folks with conditions. - This is definitely a plus. However if the individual is irregular or has 'ego' or 'attitude' and hence failed to follow the advise - well, no results. 2. It is very easy to do fitness training at home without any equipment. Many folks that I know do this without any issue. However, one has to be motivated, sincere to self. Body weight exercises are great; can be very useful for obese folks. If someone is looking only for 'help with exercises' there are numerous threads on this forum and then several other forums are also there. Getting help is not going to be a challenge. [/QUOTE]
