Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

In this thread at community site Ask Metafilter, someone was looking for ideas for exercise that would work in a small apartment with minimal equipment, without access to a gym. If you’re looking for some new ideas for exercises, you might find a good idea or two among the responses.

The ideas ranged from push-ups to Bowflex to stability ball exercises to the ever-popular Kettlebells, and it seems just about everybody is enthusiastic about one particular approach. I think the important lesson here is that there are a million different ways to exercise, and the vast majority of them work if you commit to using them regularly.

If you’re bored with your current routine, try finding a new piece of equipment or a new approach. It won’t be a miracle, but having something that you’re excited about makes it much easier to maintain your exercise regimen.
