Where to buy exercise equipments

A list of all the exercise equipments

Ankle weights: Option #1 - Go to Wal-mart & buy ankle weights. The manufacturer is Athletic Works. They are amazing, affordable, and cool. I personally own 4 pairs of Athletic Works ankle weights. Unfortunately, Athletic Works ankle weights are not available online.

Option #2 - Search for ankle weights on Yahoo.com search engine by clicking here. Just get any 10 lb or 20 lb pair because your main goal is to use these ankle weights to dangle the heavy iron plates.

Option #3: If you have no luck finding other cheaper ankle weights, you can buy All-Pro ankle weights online. Yes, they do deliver worldwide. They are expensive and you can click here for details.

I’m shopping for ankle weights @ Wal-mart

Foam: This material is extremely effective because it protects you from absolutely any pain, scratch, red marks, or blisters that may result from exercising with ankle weights. You can buy foam at any retail store. You should check out Wal-mart because it has a lot of this great stuff. Matter of fact, if you own an old car, just dig some foam under the driver’s or passenger’s seat and you should find a whole lot.

Knee-support strap & back-support strap: You can buy them at Wal-mart or any retail store.


Shirts / Towels: If you cannot afford the knee-support or back-support strap, then buy foam and soft-cotton pillows to protect your lower legs. Or, use shirts or towels and strap them tight around your knee & shin bone.

Sweatpants, socks, high boots: You need sweatpants & socks to sit with ankle weights so to protect from red marks. You can buy sweatpants at any retail clothing store. Mine is from Old Navy. Note that wearing high boots to sit with ankle weights is optional.

Iron plates: You can purchase iron plates at any sporting goods store. Buying online is your last resort because the shipping & handling alone costs 3 times more than the cast plates themselves. I bought 4 iron plates from Wal-mart & another 4 from Dick’s Sporting Goods. I own a total of 8 iron plates. Note that be sure to buy the iron plate that is 10 lb each because it’s convenient to use for other exercises.

Nylon ropes: You need nylon ropes to strap ankle weights to the iron plates so to sit with ankle weights. I use Ball Bungees ropes (above) and you can buy them at Wal-mart. Basically, you can get any kind of nylon ropes; as long you can easily make knots to strap with weights.

Stationary bike: This is the Marcy Magnetic stationary bike that I bought from Walmart.com in Spring 2004. After doing some research, I’ve found that this bike is the most affordable and quality. You can click here for further details. Or, do your own research at Google.com by searching keywords “exercise bikes”, “stationary bicycle”, etc. Note that one month after I bought this bike, I immediately customized the bicycle saddle bar by inserting a copper tube inside and drilling some holes so to raise the seat higher for biking.

Bicycle: If you don’t have enough money to buy a stationary bike, you can buy a normal bicycle.


Then, you may customize it by pulling out the chain, back tire, anchor the front tire with boxes, and put a chair behind the bike to transform it into a stationary bike.
