Gym Exercise Equipment

Hi everyone,
My current gym is getting a bit expensive, especially to commute since its so far away.So, I’ve been thinking of buying equipment to workout at home. I don’t have much space for bulky equipment so what would you recommend to include in my home gym? Also I’m working on a budget.
Thank you

How does the exercise equipment at the gym detect your heart rate. For example, the elliptical machine has the metal plates on the hand apparatus, how can the machine detect your heart rate. Thank you in advance

Ok so i want to do track for school and it doesn’t start til march, but i was wondering what to do get ready for it. Its way too cold to go outside since i live in Alaska, but what are somethings i can do at home? the most exercise equipment i have is an elliptical machine and an ab roller. also i wwould like to have bigger calf muscles and nicer girl abs. And what foods to eat? Help please!!

What’s better: treadmill, exercise bike or elliptical? Why?

I am over 30 and probably about 30 lbs overweight. I want to get down to 125 lbs. I have begun to go to the gym but have only used the treadmill. I’ve heard you have to switch up pretty regularly to get maximum results. Can someone give me some pointers?? I can’t afford a personal trainer at this time. Thanks for all suggestions!
What are the ‘long muscles’?

Hi Leanne, i live in hertfordshire

I want to get into better shape and exercise more but I don’t have any kind of exercise equipment. Can anyone help me?
I want to know what I can to to tone my stomach, I’m not fat or anything but I do need to be in better shape.

Please write the name of the equipment in the gym that can tone your butt, and if you can, tell me how to use it

I’m 14 years old. I’m trying to lose inches around my thighs. I clearly understand that you can’t lose weight in just one spot. I’ve already lose about an half inch on each thigh. I’m a dancer, so I already have toned calfs and slim thighs. I just want to get rid of the extra fat on my thighs. I have two exercise bikes at home. Building up muscle with bulk up my thighs, not make them slimmer, right? Which one is better for the purpose I want?:

I have a elliptical without the ski poles (Can’t find picture).
I have an exercise bike that I can change the resistance (I’m scared because it makes my legs fatigue and I think I’ll bulk up).
Lastly, I have something like a bike. You sit on it and there are pedals. When you put your weight on the pedals, your bottom rises off the sit and then you go back down. Do you understand?

PLEASE HELP FAST.
Thanks.
Chelse. =D
