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

I want to put some posters up on my wall in my home gym, preferably ones that SHOW me how to do exercises, but they are SO expensive! These are the best ones I could find online, but they are all at least twenty bucks apiece!

• Weight Training Stretches 24″ X 36″ Laminated Chart at Amazon.com
• Dumbbell Workout 24″ X 36″ Laminated Chart (Shoulder, Back, Leg, & Calf) at Amazon.com
• Dumbbell Workout Chart (Chest, Biceps, Triceps, Forearm) at Amazon.com
• Abdominal Workout 24″ X 36″ Laminated Chart at Amazon.com

They all look like they are good quality and they’re all laminated, but I don’t need that. All I need is a simple paper poster to go up on my wall in a frame. I want it large enough to see all the exercises and I want it to show the beginning of the move as well as the end.

Plus, TWENTY dollars apiece?! I can get a poster of anything else for only six or seven bucks! Why are these over twenty bucks apiece?

If I buy them directly from Algra, I can get them for $13 and they are paper:

• Bruce Algra Posters: Fitnus Series II

I found a pretty good poster to download here: Ironmaster – Strength Multiplied It’s meant to be printed on 11″X17″ paper, so it’s pretty high resolution.

• Dumbbell Exercise Poster 11X17

The problem with this poster is that it doesn’t show you how to DO the exercises. It only shows them in one of the states.

These images are better, but they’re so low resolution, you couldn’t print them up big enough to put on your wall.

• Chest Exercises via Easy six pack workout
• Dumbbell Workout via The Student Room
• Abdominal Workout via Alpha Fitness Equipment
• Tricep Workout via Serius Fitness
• Bicep Workout via Photobucket

Sparkpeople have a bunch of printable exercises, but I don’t care for the photos:

• Sparkpeople: Printable Exercises

These exercises are animated GIFs, which work really well on the computer, but you can’t print them up:

It looks like I’m stuck buying those overpriced posters from Amazon if I want anything of quality. I wish there was another option.
