Hi, I am just starting to try to exercise from zero and want a full body blitz type thing I can do when I'm too busy/lose motivation etc. for my usual workout (perspective check: my usual workout at the moment is 3 sets each of pressups, pull ups and squats!) I thought a versaclimber type climbing machine would be good for a full body intense kabata/HIIT type workout in front of the TV and it would fold up smaller than an exercise bike or rower when not in use....but then I thought hang on, I have a pull up bar and a portable step- so I started doing similar movements on the bar-basically assisting as little as possible with my legs on the step and either alternating sides or doing transverse pulls using right arm/left leg then swopping to left arm/right leg.
So I was wondering if this is going to do the same for me as a home climbing machine but for free? And also any thoughts from somebody who actually knows what they are doing about whether this is even a good idea or better alternatives would be very welcome! I'm 42 and trying to break a lifetime habit of not exercising so my priorities for now are baby steps and maximal results for minimal time input (so that I actually do it). Hoping this will change as I get into a regular exercise habit. Thanks in advance for any replies.
