Exercise Equipment

Can someone recommend a store in the San Francisco bay area to buy an upright exercise bicycle?

I’m in the market to buy an upright stationary bicycle. I want to get something comparable to what I’m using at my gym (LifeFitness). I went to Sports Authority but the stationary bicycles they had on display seemed to be of a poorer quality than what I’m looking for. Does anybody know of a store in the SF bay area that sells the type of exercise bike I’m looking for?

Try the Treadmill Outlet in Redwood City. (And yes, they have all kinds of equipment, not just treadmills.) They are the only Life Fitness dealer in the area that I know about.

Joining a gym and need advice on what exercises or equipment to use to get rid of my belly and tone up?

Im a gym virgin and need some advice on what equipment and exercises to do to get rid of my belly and tone up but also the inner thighs – to tighten these up

Cross trainer, Treadmill, Stairmaster, Rowing machine if you like (you don’t have to do all of these. I find the rowing machine and x-trainer quite boring). On the treadmill you can’t just walk on it though. It won’t have any effect. Build up your stamina and run or walk fast on an incline. You need to be out of breath for at least 30mins so you can work out your routine how you like. You could do 20mins rowing + 10mins treadmill…or…10mins treadmill, 10mins stairmaster, 15mins rowing.
To tone up do some weights. At my gym they have all the machines you need for toning up. There’s like a particular one for inner and outer thighs etc. Ask somone there if you don’t know where they are.
For your belly do sit ups and crunches. Use an ab roller or yoga ball to help you.
Hope this helps!

EDIT: Somebody’s said don’t do weights?? If all you do is burn fat and don’t tone up your muscles you’ll end up with flabby skin everywhere and you won’t be toned – which is what you want.

What is the most effective exercise equipment?

Im looking to buy some sort of equipment to burn calories on. Ive been looking at ellipticals, treadmills, and exercise bikes. Which of these three provides the best exercise for the amount of time spent on it?

Elliptical machines are very popular. It all really depends on which one you will be more likely to use. I personally like the treadmill b/c I like to run and walk. I bought an elliptical before and it was a total money of money b/c I hate using it.

Each machine will burn plenty of calories depending on what you do with it. On the stationary bike the hill profile will kick your ass. The treadmill allows you to run or walk on different inclines and speeds. The elliptical machine allows you to vary the intensity of your workout (but its extremely boring to me).

Better to buy exercise equipment or gym membership?

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 12:06:26 +0000

I mostly use one machine when I used to have a membership. I can purchase it for about $1200 and use it from home, or pay abouot $400/year for a membership. What’s the best thing to do?
Does anyone know how much electricity a gym size exercise equipment uses and if it works with a regular outlet?

I personally think that you should stick with a gym membership. You have many more options for other machines. It’s better to switch up your workouts to shock your body, so it doesn’t just get used to doing the same workout all the time. With a membership you can do this. Also, they maintain their machines if they break down and what not, and usually there are more than one (if its a cardio machine). But if you’ve got a busy schedule, or don’t want to interact with other people then I guess you can purchase your machine and do it from home. I find it way more entertaining and motivating to workout at the gym.

What are some exercises I can do on a rainy day that do not require exercise equipment?

You can get an aerobics DVD and exercise with it.

exercise equipment?

Hi,
I started running on the treadmill, i do 40 mins at night time. 10 mins of running and 30 mins of fast/slow walking.
I like to get another exercise equipment, just so i can rotate what i do everyday. My main aim is to loose weigh. I am 200pounds, 5,10 height. Which equipment do you think it’s worth it to buy? i’m not looking towards spending a lot of money.
thanks

An exercise bike can be a worthwhile investment. Get one that’s of good quality, say in the price range of $300- $500.

An exercise ball is another good choice – it’s cheap and helps you heaps in strength training.

And dumbbells for weight lifting- cheap and very effective in boosting muscle growth.

Consumers Fooled by Unscrupulous Growth Hormone Vendors

admin — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 08:55:23 +0000

It’s frustrating for the 30 providers who make use of the real ingredient to compete alongside the 300 retailers who lay a few cents worth of amino acids and/or herbs together, name it “HGH Releaser,” “HGH Blend,” “HGH Secretagogue,” etc., and subsequently promote it at fees comparable to products that contain the more high-priced genuine Hgh ingredient. If you do not see “Human Growth Hormone,” “HGH,” or “Somatotropin” therefore the supplement does not contain pharmaceutical Human growth hormone.

In our estimation Sytropin is one of the worst offenders in perplexing the public when it comes to growth hormone. These people have taken the marketing and advertising of the pill type of human growth hormone (growth hormone can’t be put inside a pill) to an entirely new-fangled stage by making it into an oral spray! There is a new company that has actually done a analogous advertising and marketing ploy through making the pill variety of “HGH” into a product given out for injection. This is especially confusing to the buyer.

The ingredients demonstrate that Sytropin combines HGH components with L-group amino acids. It does not state that Sytropin has growth hormone. It says that Sytropin consists of HGH components. What are HGH components? Doesn’t matter what it is, it’s not HGH.

A Go-Kart contains the automobile components of a steering wheel and 4 tires but it’s not an car! If the supplement contained actual pharmaceutical human growth hormone it would aver such and it doesn’t.

i really want to buy a vibrating exercise machine, but im on a budget of around £50.
where can i buy one for a low cost?
i dont mind if it is second hand and i’ve tried ebay but they’re all way out of my price range.

I don’t think its an exercise machine unless you get really into it…
