1. Incline Chest Press
Slanted chest press, as the name suggests, is a great and easy to use machines to exercise your chest. Slanted chest press usually has an incline bench where the user sits in front and two bars around chest level. Correct use of this machine, grip the handle bars about 8 inches wider than shoulder to target the chest.

The leg press is one of the easiest and most effective way to use the machine when you focus on strengthening your legs. The leg press comes in a variety of different positions from sitting to linear, but the general concept is the same. Whichever way the seat is positioned, make sure your feet at an angle of 90 degrees to the plate. Fully extend your legs and push plate forward, then slowly return to a position to complete the rep you started.

3. Treadmill

Although you do not need to dedicate full exercise sessions to strengthen your back, it's really important to exercise your back before you start lifting some very heavy loads. Having a strong back will prevent injury and just improve your overall fitness. To use this machine, adjust the seat until you can comfortably handle bars at full extension. Make sure your back is straight, handle bar and pull the handle toward you. Squeeze the shoulder blades at the end of the rep and slowly return the handle to the starting position.

5. lat pull down
This is a good first step to be able to do chin-ups.

Start with low weights until you can finish the rep with good form. Slide your foot under the thigh pad and grip the bar a little more than shoulder width apart. Pull the bar to your chest while keeping your back straight. Hold for two or three seconds and return to starting position.
