At Home Lat Pulldown/Leg Curl/Extension

[heydude]

Anyone know any good company or machine that sells a small at home gym machine that does lat pulldowns, leg curls, and leg extensions? Any other thing on there is fine but I really want those 3. thank you!

I don't know of any machine in particular that does all those things except, perhaps, a Bowflex, which is SUPER expensive, even used. However, you can do some leg curls and leg extensions by using a heavy dumbbell that you hold between your feet. For the leg curl, you lie facedown on the floor and lift your feet up by bending your knees. For the leg extensions, you sit in a chair and lift the dumbbell from the floor up. You can also exercise your lats with dumbbells, but it won't be as a pulldown. Joyce Vedral has some very good DVD workouts using dumbbells, that get every part of your body. You just increase the weight of the dumbbells as you progress, and you can build a lot of muscle that way. Good luck!

Invest in some exercise tubing or bands.
