Fitness Equipment

What models of equipment should I get for my music studio?

I have $450 budgeted for some new equipment for a music studio. I already have a microphone. I need an amp head, an electric guitar, a bass (doesn’t have to be expensive), and maybe an audio interface. Also, I am not a fan of Fender guitars, or amplifiers.
Yes, I don’t need speakers for the head. My friend just got me a new cab, and my head broke.

Only $450?

Well, okay… but shop seriously and realize what it take to have a ‘music studio’ at a modest budget. Really. But, for your immediate needs, possible.

Amp head, but no need for speakers or cabinet?[$300 - $600] But need something for the bass guitar too. (Can’t go through typical guitar amp or speakers.) [$400 - $700]

An electric guitar, bass guitar (not expensive) and maybe by any risky ‘Squier’ model (some are not up to par, 50-50 being a good unit)? Not true Fender anyways. ['Inexpensive' electric guitar $125 - $300, 'inexpensive' bass guitar $125 - $300.]

And an audio interface that has the inputs and basic capabilities to turn out decent CD’s through any computer software (another pain) or O.S. dependency. Good luck on these. [$50 - $300]

And, you certainly need a good pair of stereo headphones (not earplugs or buds either) for monitoring and mixing (oops, that would help too). [$25 - $150]

Hmm… ’bout around that $1000.00 mark. Or more. Really.

But if you can come in @ around $750 total, possible and amazing. According to what you REALLY need, to get started.

Just concentrate on the guitar (1) set up and any recording devices (audio interfacing, software, etc.) that work for you. And the headphones.

Whadda ya think?

And, you may even having to change that microphone, or add a few more, to be compatible with the equipment you intend to collect, to complete your mission.

And, time and effort of what you want to put into your projects.

Good luck, buddy.

How can a 14 yr boy lose weight fast?

I am 14yr, 5′10.5”, and 200lbs. I hate my body and I feel really uncomfortable at school. I try to hide it as much as I can and I wear jackets to hide my man boobs. I really would like to lose at least 25 lbs. Please help me. I hate the body that Im in. I am a boy who wants to lose weight as fast as possible. I am in weight training. What more?

Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we’ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

Make a few additional small changes – walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can’t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate – in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don’t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

Vary your routines. Don’t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn’t adjust to any one routine.

An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

In terms of your gynecomastia (the medical name for "man boobs"), that may resolve itself with the weight loss and with working out. If it doesn’t you should talk to your doctor about it.

Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

How can i intensify my workout?

I’m 18 and currently am doing the Brazil butt lift workout DVDs. I am finished and doing it all over gain. But I dnt see any improvement. I think I should do the Rio extreme DVD, but that’s too much cardio. I have some muscle and I don’t want to burn the muscle that I have. In fact I want to build muscle but I don’t have any weight equipment. Also, I jst have the last flab of belly fat. Its not much, but I have it. I kno cardio will make it go away, but then again I dnt want to lose muscle. What can I do to gain muscle on arms, back, and legs but lose my belly fat?

Do swimming . I’ve been swimming for 2 years and I have really muscular legs

I would like to know what fitness machine to buy for abs? would the weight bench also work for abs?

I am debating on these two fitness machines. I mainly want something to work on my tummy. So I would like to know if the weight bench can help me would that….and if it does I would rather get that one since I can use it for other stuff too. Thanks for your input!

A weight bench doesn’t work well on abbs. Unless you are doing sit ups or crunches while something attached to a weight is attached to your shoulders.

New hardware/lawn and garden sales job; how to increase my knowledge base?

I just started my first job at Sears, as a Sales Associate (Base pay + Commission).

They put me in Hardware/Lawn & Garden/Fitness machines and for a lot of it, I don’t know a whole lot about it. I’ve been training with different people the past 3 days and I think I’m catching on to most of the stuff.

But yeah, are there any good resources out there to increase my knowledge base?

Main things:
Lawn Mowers + Accessories
Weedeaters + Accessories
Power Drills + Accessories
Table Saws + Accessories
Different types of bits, tools, etc.

I’m pretty good on the fitness equipment side though.

Let the customer answer his own questions. It is time to get political> with the vague promises of: "maybe, I guess, it could, it should, it shouldn’t, most people would choose it"

You are there to sell items – not to be a horticulturist or carpenter.

That is the buyers responsibility.

You don’t give a rats patooee. Your back lawn is green cement.

How Idiots Use Gym Equipment

It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be at the gym. Some of the clips are exaggerations but believe it or not I have seen one or two of these movements in action. Of course trance beats are playing in the background from Djs Darius and Finlay. Enjoy!
