I want to lose weight and then tone up, gaining some muscle but mostly getting stamina and losing damned fat from being lazy, drinking too much from last two years, and a bunch of other excuses.

I have quit the drinking and am walking at least a mile every other day with my doggo, but I also have this home gym I have been seriously neglecting.

Questions: Can the home weight machine be effective enough to warrant keeping or should I sell/ trade for something else? Are there suggestions on a routine out there someone has done and been successful? YT shows some good info, but is more "how do you lateral press on a machine". I also want to get a stationary bike so I can cardio while working at home.

Also, the machine looks very similar to this: https://poal.co/static/images/SqgvDJ.jpeg

Just get a squat rack if you have enough space, that's really all you need, and you can do so much more than you could with any machine.
