I'm thinking its definately cheaper to buy gym equipment than kutupa pesa in these expensive gym za Nairobi in the long run.What can a kool 6k per month do?Ata stima haifiki hiyo bei - translates to 72k per year ama 100k+ for membership.Walk into any Nakumatt and look at the prices for a multi-purpose bench that can do sit ups,bench press,humstring and a lot more,add the weights and it won't cost you over 45k,even if you go for a technologically advanced machine,bei is unbelievable - i'm thinking seriously about this prospect this year.smile

You dont even have to go to Nakumatt, there are great second hand gym equipment for a fraction of new ones and in perfect condition! Just got myself an exercise bike for 4k (na iko sawa kabisa)

@Theu, naweza pata wapi hiyo?

@forester, jus blazin
Along ngara rd at the junction of ramesh gautama rd. just opp Ngara location DO's office. They are likely to quote anything between 5 and 6k but you of course bargain. All the best.

Losing weight is actually an exact science. Follow the steps below and see how it works.

1. Evaluate your Basal Calorific Requirements. This are the calories you need just to maintain you heart beat, liver etc. Using the formula

Men: BCR = 66 + (13.7 X wt in kg) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)

Women: BCR = 655 + (9.6 X wt in kg) + (1.8 X ht in cm) - (4.7 X age in years)

Using the above I note i personally need 2400 calories per day.

2. To lose say 3kg a month, I need to have a calorie deficit of 3*7,700 = 23,100 Calories in that month. PS 1 Kg = 7,700 calories.

3. Rework calorie deficit per day needed.
Total Calories for the month = 2,400 x 30 = 72,000
Deficit Needed = 23,100
So calories for the month = 72,000 - 23,100 = 48,900 (or 1,630 calories per day)

4. Deficit per day = 2400 - 1630 = 770 Calories per day.

5. Decide if you'll diet or exercise the 770calories.

Note that
40 min of strenuous exercise (aerobics) = 300 calories
1 slice of bread = 100 calories
1 teaspoon of sugar = 16 calories etc.


Your calorific deficit = your weight loss.
