Personal trainer or home rowing machine?

[Malthus]

So, I'm having an appointment with my personal trainer tomorrow evening. His name is Artur. 

This threat's worthless withou....

I agree with the consensus but would argue for a rowing machine too.  But you're best off doing exercise to some end.  Learn to play tennis, go rowing, go swimming or something grinding out your health in a gym is just sadmaking.

The problem is usually one of time.

When I was working out in a gymn I found the sight of large numbers of women in tight fitting clothing to be very entertaining and motivating.

Speaking of sports, basketball is a great aerobic workout.  Also gives you bulging shoulder muscles, tres sexy.  Steep learning curve though.  Are there any places in the world that give adult beginner basketball lessons?

Mart, if you want fit gay manspiration, check out my friend Heath on Facebook. He hardly has his shirt on on any of his photos and occasionally does podium dancing in clubs! I can ask him what his routine is if you want.

What would you say is more cost effective and better in instilling discipline?

If you want to spend the money on a constant basis a PT.

The rowing or even better an elliptical trainer, will pay for it self in the long run. If you use it regulary and get on a good self training program.

Actually, there's a lot to be said for also having some home cardio equipment you can use in front of the TV when you've had too busy a day to get to the gym or see your trainer. I've got an exercise bike I hop on for half an hour if I haven't had the chance to do anything else, and some tough exercise DVDs.

Oh and Mart, buy Tim Ferris' "Four Hour Body". There's some real insights among the bullshit, but it's perfect for a quick-win addict like you

Using it regularly is just the problem. From what i've seen, nine times out of ten, a home rowing machine ends up as a really fancy clothes hanger.

Yep.  Marti has already said he lacks discipline.  A rowing machine is just going to be an expensive piece of furniture for him.

So, met with the trainer. Apparently I'm fat  (I have 24% body fat, despite having a relatively good BMI).

So I'm gonna train on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays.

HA! I knew it.
