The entry-level gym-goers best friend, cardio machines form the bedrock of any gym worth its name. They're versatile, easy to use, and are a great way to get your heart pumping before or after a workout. Cardio machines range from stationery bikes to ellipticals, treadmills, rowing machines, cross country ski machines, and stair-steppers. While there are a few new worthy gadgets on the market like the Peleton, for the most part, cardio machines have been pretty standard throughout the years. They vary in price from a few hundred to thousands of Qatari riyals, depending on whether the machine is motorised or programmable, and what add-ons it has (heart rate monitors, calorie counters, timers, bluetooth capabilities, etc). The most basic of the cardio machines is the treadmill. A length of looped rubber that varies in speed, the treadmill emulates walking or running and allow you to control incline and speed to vary your workout. They primarily work the legs and are a great tool to amp up your endurance level. In contrast, a machine like the rowing machine is a full-body workout. The rowing movement works your back, arms and legs simultaneously, and can burn far more calories than most other cardio machines. Beginner rowers should look into proper form and technique as this can make all the difference in reducing injury and making sure you're working out the right parts. For people with bad knees or those looking for a more low-impact form of cardio, the stair master is a great option. They come in two variations - one with an actual set of rotating stairs, and the other with two pedals that emulate the motion of a stair. Some modes have levers with handgrips to work arms, too. As you ramp up the speed, the stair master reduces its resistance, making it harder and harder for you to keep your momentum and giving you a killer burn in the process! 

Free weights refer to the endless rows of dumbbells and barbells that you see in any gym. They're untethered to a machine, making them an extremely versatile piece of equipment to start with. Weights run from as low as 2 pounds to 160 pounds, and can be used to carry out a range of motions from upper body exercises like bicep curls, tricep extensions, lateral and front raises, shoulder presses, chest flyes, incline chest presses, arnold presses, bent over rows, and hammer curls to full or lower body exercises like thrusters, squats, deadlifts, lunges, reverse lunges, step ups, sumo squats and more. They come in various iterations - some have padded center bars and D-shaped weights; others are adjustable, allowing you to have more control over the weigh; while other varieties come as kettlebells or barbells. The latter simple refers to dumbbells with an elongated center bar that has more space and can be held with both hands rather than one. Full-body compound equipment like squat bars and weighted plates also fall under this category. Recently free-standing ankle weights have also become popular. These come in velcro-fitted bands that wrap around your ankle and feature small removable sand or iron-filled bags held in place around the strap. They vary in weight from 1 to 5 kg and can add an extra burn to even the simplest of movements.
