What upper-body workout equipment would you recommend?
Jun 17, 2009 by AL | Posted in Diet & Fitness
I'm considering working out this summer to improve my upper body, mainly the abdominal section. What equipment would you recommend?
Testimonials are always welcomed. If you've used the equipment before, please say so. How well did it work for you? When did you start seeing results?
Thank you in advance!
Oh, and by the way, I don't want bulky equipment that can't be moved around easily. I just want portable equipment.
To be honest, I don't think you need much equipment. You can do lots of things such as push ups, sit ups, planks, squats, and lunges with your bodyweight.
To work the upper body, a simple and time-tested solution is a set of adjustable dumbbells and maybe one or two elastic resistance bands. With these you can work out all the muscles in your body.
Specifically for abs, look into a medicine ball, which is a basketball-size weighted ball. Many athletes use them for training the abs.

Is doing a bunch of chin-ups and push-ups a great upper body workout without equipment?
Jan 19, 2010 by motorcycle freak | Posted in Diet & Fitness
I don't have the time to go to a gym and I don't want to spend a bunch of money on equipment so I didn't know if this was a good upper body workout without equipment.
It's definitely a great upper body workout. That was actually my workout yesterday. I never go to the gym and I'm getting some serious results. Here's my workout.
Standard push-ups
Wide pull-ups
Military push-ups
Wide chin-ups
Diamond push-ups
Close grip pull-ups
Decline push-ups
Close grip chin-ups
I just do as many I can of each. Hope this helps!

31.12.69
Everyone can relate to this scenario at one point or another in life. The new year rolls around, and the sale of gym memberships increases at alarming rates as everyone makes a New Year’s resolution to get fit. After a few weeks or months, the population at the gym begins to decrease and that expensive gym membership goes unused for the remainder of the year.
Why is this? For one thing, most people lead hectic lifestyles, and working out at the gym requires time. Sometimes there is a waiting period before you get to use a piece of equipment, as well as many other time wasters when you work out in a gym. Some people also live a distance away from the gym, so they see it as an inconvenience and stop going.
What’s the answer? Well, a physical therapist not only can recommend a personalized workout regimen, they also can show you how to save time working out so you can integrate it with your busy lifestyle without sacrificing fitness. First, you should consult with a physical therapist on a personalized plan that is appropriate for your age and health status. In addition to a plan, your physical therapist also can recommend ways you can save time on your regular workout routine.
