What is some effective (preferably cheap) compact exercise equipment?

March 102010

I don’t have much space in my house, definitely not enough for something like a running machine/treadmill. What is some good equipment which takes up very little room but is still effective. I am aiming to lose weight and tone up so I need something which will help me to do both of those things. Please recommend things which are affordable, I’m a student currently so money isn’t in great supply.

I generally want something which is useful for exercising my stomach, chest and back muscles.

Pull-ups, Crunches, and Push-ups…These will all tone you up and are the cheapest and most effective equipment you can buy! :)

What’s your favorite piece of exercise equipment?

March 82010

I’m looking for a good piece of exercise equipment to tone the mid-lower body. The areas I want to work on are the stomach, butt, hips, and thighs.

Just curious as to what would be good for this and what your favorite type of equipment is and why.

Thanks

Eliptical all the way. I would have a different opinion for a man. A man really should go for a bowflex…which is also great for women(dont get the knock off) It must be a bowflex.Oh and if you get an eliptical get the one w/ handles that take your bpm and an adjustable incline. I love mine, I am now able to burn about 280 cals in a half-hour-and still getting better.

What are the best exercise for toning the upper part of my body without using exercise equipment?

March 82010

I’ve always had a problem with the upper half of my body. I’ve been on a diet to lose weight, be toned, and healthier. I watch what I eat and how much I take in. I’ve been drinking only water and I jog 45 minutes a day 5 days out of the week. I’m looking to tone the upper part of my body, but I don’t like using exercise equipment. I need exercises that can tone my arms, stomach, my chest, and especially my back (because I do have back problems). Is there anyone that can suggest any exercises that can tone those areas without using exercise equipment?

Yoga is the way to go! It will transform your body shape radically, and you’ll be "stronger", it’s recommended for anyone who want to get in shape and get rid of back pains.

I have a great free yoga e-course for you:

Sure, you can do jumping jacks, running in place, jumping rope, push-ups, sit ups with a ball about the size of a soccer ball behind your back so you can extend backwards…

I am asking about exercise equipment that is desinined to target the pector eal mucsles in such a maner that they grow out word pushing the breast out and closer to gether not a diet plan or rock hard chest

The thing that you use that makes you move your arms together… you are sitting up and your hands are grabbing on to the handle things and you push your arms together at the forearm. If that makes sense…. Thats what I was always told. :)

Where can you find a place to buy Exercise Equipment?

March 22010

where in san antonio can you buy exercise equipment at a great price? I know the usual department stores and Academy but is there anything else out there? isnt there a Dick’s sporting Goods somewhere in town?

There is an excellent place on Broadway run by one of the former SA spurs. I don’t know the name, but it’s close to 410 just south within 2 miles. I want to say before Sunset and on your right from 410.

Portal Ending – Still Alive – on an Exercise Machine

March 12010

Thanks for all the comments, guys! I made an HD version, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfmGnLMlKvs

Exercise machine computer modified to perform the portal ending.

Thanks to 256byteram for releasing source code- I got the music data from there.

The project took 3 days: one day to replace the CPU, one day to write the drivers and engine, and one day to prepare the data.

The original CPU was an 8051 clone. This was replaced with a dsPIC30F4011 because I have the tools and equipment to program it.

Source code:
http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~smoskovc/portal.c

… I was very bored.
