fancy exercise equipment

[Gerianne]

some people want to have different exercise machines in their home to assist them in their exercise routine.
some simply go out for a jog.
squats and ankle rotations are easy, stimulate circulation and require no equipment.

It depends on your goals. You're suppose to do strength training as just part of a regular exercise routine but certain body types/goals are going to require more than others. That's why people end up skinny fat because they just do a bunch of cardio to lose/maintain weight but are flabby and still have a higher percentage of fat compared to muscle although they make be smaller.

my fancy exercise stuff has cob webs and now serves as a hat rack since I fell down my cement steps on the ice.     and i now use my fancy walker  got one for inside and one for outside so i don't have to try and get it down the steps and crash again.

I have a cousin who has exercise equipment in her bedroom, the one where you stand on and walk and run on, don't know if she still have it, she lost a lot of weight doing that. But i think it also depends on eating right too.

I have a Schwinn Airdyne bike which helped me lose 40lbs and I'm still maintaining 2 years later. Now I keep up with cardio and strength-training.

I like to keep things simple so you know where I am with this. I think if you want excise equipment, go to the gym. It is cheaper in more ways than one in the long run.

We have a spin bike and an elliptical that my daughter wanted and now she never uses it.  She joined a gym but whenever I tell her I am going to try and sell them she throws a fit.

You dont need any equipment to go running. It's literally the cheapest way to get exercise

[dreamyxo]

I use resistance bands.  They are cheap.

My treadmill just clunked out after 8 years so I'll be hitting the track soon for a good old fashion jog around the community center.

I have a gym membership through my health insurance and I go there in the winter.  The rest of the year, I'm a hiker and a kayaker.  Much prefer that over machines.

[kathleenkleinhans]

I walk 3-4 miles a day and so strength exercises with weights 3 - 4 x a week

[natashaspy]

lunges are a really good exercise to do without a machine as well

[braggin]

I prefer running because it requires no equipment, no partner (like tennis does), no special hours you can or cannot go, and you can run wherever you'd like to see certain scenery like ponds, streams, flowers, etc. I have been doing it since my late 40's and hope to be able to keep on with it into my 80's.

I pondered a gym membership for a second when my treadmill went out but I don't think so- I'll just walk paven roads.
