What "as seen on tv" work out dvds/equipment really work?

Any exercise a person does regularly will work for cardiovascular fitness. Walking for 20 minutes 3 times a week is the easiest workout avialable and you don’t need to buy anything. The biggest obstacle to getting fit is usually losing interest in the exercises and quitting. So when looking for an exercise video or type of equipment, the main thing to consider is if the activity looks interesting enough that you will stick with it. Personally, i think an I-Pod is the best piece of work out equipment available since you can load it with whatever you want, and take it with you on walks. The right tunes can keep you moving without getting bored.

If I wanted to weight train at home, but had no equipment, would crunches, push-ups, and lunges be enough?

I don’t have money for equipment or a gym membership. Someone told me this could work, but I am skeptical…

Yes you can train at home. But not "weight" train.

Disregard above. You can get RIPPED without weights. Do your push-ups slowly. Lunges are awesome for your legs and buttocks.. but do them properly.

Lunges: Stand together.. take a long step and lunge.. bring behind leg forward and kick that knee in the air. Now roll onto your toes and flex your lunged leg’s calf muscle. Repeat with other leg (the one thats in the air).

Push-ups: Till you get stronger.. get on your knees. Do 10, 9, 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Then rest. You can start at just 5,4,3.. etc back to 5. (after you do 10, stay in the push-up position and rest for two seconds.. then do 9..rest.. then 8.. etc). The key is to do them slowly. When you get in better shape you can get off your knees. Then when you get in even better shape you can put your feet up on the couch with your hands on the ground and do them. By that time you will be awesomely in shape and looking it!

Crunches: Do standard crunches.. do 3 sets of 20 crunches. Then.. turn over on your stomach and get on your elbows like you’re doing a push-up on your elbows. Now hold yourself up off the ground with your feet touching and get your stomach off the ground. Hold that position for 30 seconds. Rest and do it again 2 more times for 30 seconds. You can mix up different exercises to work your abs effectively.

You really don’t need a gym membership until you can do all of these exercises with ease. Its best to be in GREAT shape when walking into a gym because you don’t want to be wasting your money to get into shape at a gym.. but more like get to another level at a gym that you can’t do at home.

Let me know if you have any other questions..

Good luck!

Well there aren’t many effective bicep exercises without weight or equipment but you could try push ups and maybe dips (these will mostly focus on the chest though)

How can I get mustle without using gym equipment?

Im not fat or anything…Infact Im really skinny and I play a lot of sports but I dont have any mustle … I am just skinny =[ ... Any ideas on how I can get some mustle in mainly my legs,arms,stomach and chest ?

P.S Without any gym equipment ! Even dumbells !

Something i used, because i use to be just like you.. and now i have more strength and muscle than some of my team mates who went to the gym. Using gym equipement doesn't mean you will gain weight. in some instances it could be the opposite. using all those conventinol machines could actually be bad for you.. something i did was :

1.) get a 2x4 piece of plie wood.. or any wood or slab u could find.. ALSO you will need a stick or some sort..preferable the ends of a heavy broom stick.. (this will speed up the process, i you don't have this act like you do.)

2.) place the middle of the bottom of your foot at the edge of the wood on the ground.. so the heel of your foot should be on the wood, and your toes on the ground.

3.) spread your feet shoulder width apart *OPTION* place the broomstick behind your head and hold it with your hands.. as if you were bench pressing at the gym..

4.) squat down.. keeping your feet on the wood and on the ground...

5.) it may seem that this doesn't hurt at first.. but trust me.. it will hurt soo much tomorrow.. :] that only means that it is really working!!!

6.) the less reps you do with the heavier stick the more muscle mass you will get.. the more reaps with a lighter stick (or no stick) you will tone muscle.. so start with the stick if you can.. and once you get your results go on without the stick.

**JUST REMEBER***

your wood should be very thin.. your heel should not be at very much of an incline.. if you heel and your toes are at a high incline. your board is too think.

Vibrating fitness machines??

Does anyone own one (the kind that you stand on the vibrating under your feet) and does it work for you?

Actually they do work and very well at that. People that do not know about Vibration Exercise can get more info at:

I want an excersize / fitness machine for at home, something easy to store and easy to use, any suggestions?

I saw the air climber on an infomercial, but can’t find any reviews on it. Has anyone used it? Also, I want something small that is easy to store and something that gives cardio plus toning….help!
I also have had many abdominal surgeries and am a hernia risk so I have to be careful about doing too much ab work, I am not allowed to do crunches so something that helped the abs without overworking or straining them would be great.

If you want cardio + toning, the only thing you need is a jump rope. Jump ropes are absolutely AMAZING. They are used for aerobic exercise and help tone the legs and arms. Plus, they cost all of around $7 and are VERY easy to store. 45 minutes a day, increasing your time by five minutes every week for one month will yield FANTASTIC results. Just make sure your jump rope is the right size.

what is the best breast enlargement exercise equipment out there?

I am looking for some exercise equipment that is designed to build the pectoral muscles in a way that the breast appear to be bigger and firmer
I mean female looking breast not rock hard chest
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.
