Id have to say the best for me was the Altus Athletic ADG Home Door Gym and 15-Minute Workouts for Dummies DVD The worst and im guilty of buying one is the double wheel ab roller But the worst i have seen is this thing called Shake weight

I want to get a stationary bike but I am like most people in that I don’t want to make a huge investment in something that might just be a clothing hangar in a few years (granted a bike may only be a couple of hundred dollars but that’s still out of my budget right now). Is it possible to rent a stationary bike or other equipment for my home for a period of time?

I’ve never heard of such a thing, other than for bikes and stuff like that. Don’t know where you live, but in the US, www.craigslist.com is a great source for local new and used products. I’d personally get slightly used one that has been a clothes hanger in someone else’s house before shelling out bucks for a new one.

My friend wants to ‘beef up’ a bit and is looking for a workout that does his whole body. He has no fitness equipment and is not willing to buy any, also (after reading other answers) he doesn’t want to do any dancing.

I would prefer if you had a link to any website which fits the question. Thanks

Any isometric exercises will do it for him. I’m too lazy to search the Internet for them to give you a reference

I would like to know what I can do to work out at home without the need for any equipment. Already I do 150 push ups (broken down into 5 reps of 30) and 50 pull ups (10 reps of 5 – finger tip pull ups, done on door frame cos I don’t have a bar) once every two days. The push ups are getting too easy though so I thought of maybe increasing, perhaps to 4 reps of 50. I cycle at least 20 minutes a day, though not at the moment cos my bikes out of action. I am a bloke, I have a very good, healthy diet, with lots of protein etc.

I usually have a cool down day in between, so i alternate between day off and day on. I’ve avoided doing sit ups because I have problems with my back and any kind of repetitive straining motion causes me quite a lot of discomfort. I would like to know if there are any good exercises for building up my abs, and also if there is anyway to build up my pecks more (they’re already quite well toned) at home, and without the need to get some weights.

Also please tell me if you think there are any problems with my regime. Anything I should be doing differently in terms of number of reps, and down days etc. Maybe I should be alternating a day doing exercises for my chest/arms/abs. Perhaps there is a certain technique to these exercises which I haven’t mastered?

Any advice on any of these areas would be hugely appreciated, I’m not trying to look like super man, just want to be able to look after myself.

Thanks guys!

Hi
i would suggest increasing the intensity/ how hard you push yourself. So if your doing all those push ups etc, are you doing them with lots of effort? It is better to progressively increase your exercise so yes increasing the number you do will help

The plank is a good exercise, no equipment needed it improves your core musles and abs. you probably know what it is but just incase
Lie on your front on the floor, lift yourself up onto your toes and elbows and keep in that straight position for 30seconds, then increase it to 45 when you get good.
It really does help, i’ve just been doing circuits for GCSE PE and i needed to build my strength for press ups etc and doing the plank each night made the circuits alot easier.

As for not having weights, you could either go the the gym and use their weights, or for a cheaper alternative use bags of sugar or cans, as silly as it sounds im sure it will work :L

I hope that helps a bit..

i heard i can get a cheap row machine, for like 160$. but common sense tells me that it won’t be anywhere near gym quality, as i’m pretty sure the row machines at the gym are probably 1,000+. i’m looking for one with some high resistance, and durability. and that’s pretty much it.

so if any body out there knows anything about row machines or home fitness equipment that could help me out, i would appreciate it. thank you if you can.

craig’s list! you might find one for $50 – 200, it depends. also check ebay.

I am looking to buy an at home fitness dvd, maybe something like yoga booty ballet. What are some good ones that you know of, and where can i buy them? I don’t have a credit card so I can’t buy them online.
Please tell me what worked for you and where i can get them! thanks! And please none that you have to have a bunch of equipment for.

I like Carmen Electra’s areobic strip tease

I want to install a small home gym in a 9.5 x 11.5 room (8′ ceiling) on my second floor. The purpose of this is two-fold: I need to lose weight, and I need to regain strength and flexibility.

I was thinking of installing a ballet bar or parallel bars and buying a new or used Total Gym (for pilates).

What do you all think? Anyone have experience with Total Gym? Any recommendations on an alternative piece of equipment?

I recently bought a home gym. It is made by PowerTech and called the ‘workbench’. It is great!! It took a while to setup…the directions weren’t great but the machine is!! I bought it at Dick’s Sporting Goods. 8ft by 11ft. It was $1000 without the weights…so I guess it depends on how serious you are and how much you have to spend.
It would be a lot of money to spend if a month or two from now you aren’t using it much.
