Foot Pedals Exercise Equipment
What do you call that exercise equipment that works like a stand up bicycle? The feet go in a pedal motion.?
I have an old DP Fitness for Life Air Strider. I call it a stand up bicycle, since their is no seat. On it, my feet go around in a pedal motion. For my arms, I hold on to two levers (handles) that go back and forth and enable my arms to make the same motion I would make if I was running. The whole exercise seems equivalent to jogging without the impact that you would get on the ground. I really liked this machine, but it is now worn out. What do they call this kind of exercise equipment today? Where can I get a good deal, possibly factory refurbished? Thanks!

Exercises for abdominal muscles?
I want to do exercises to achieve well defined abdominal muscles (six pack).
I know that you have to eat really nutritious as much as you train. But I already have almost no body fast, because I have a really fast metabolism.
Also, when I tense my abs, I can already see the creases where they are supposed to be, even though I never worked out my abs. And I’m 13. But don’t say I’m too young, because I know several kids in my school who already have a six pack.
I tried the bicycle crunch, but it’s too hard to do perfectly. I always mess up with the pedaling motion with your feet.
So is there any other good ab (and oblique) exercise, that doesn’t require equipment?
In fact there are quite a handful excellent ab exercises available. If you attempted on one and it didn’t work well for you, don’t be irate, instead move on and search for the best abs exercises that will surely fit for you. Every exercise works well with others while it doesn’t for some.
The following are some of abs exercises known to have helped many:
1. Stationary Bike Crunches
Though the crunches are not able to do this task alone, they are still helpful. Bicycle crunches use your entire ab muscle regions such as the lower abdominals, oblique abs and the rectus abdominals. Perform this exercise by lying on the ground, back rounded and your hands must be behind your neck to prevent hurting yourself. Both of your upper and lower abs will be employed into this exercise.
2. Martial Arts and Kick Boxing
Try making use of Taebo tapes or enroll classes at the fitness gym. The pulling down movement of your arms as well as the upward movement of your legs is the same as doing the standing up crunch. With kick boxing, you are sure to use the entire abdominal muscles and aid to entire body in burning fat. Each movement that you do will tighten your abs that will maintain your balance.
3. Torso Twists
As your body twists, it tightens your abdominal particularly if you will move from side to side. In other words you are making rapid movements. If you want to benefit your abs from it, you have to perform it correctly. Also you can also do the broomstick twist. It is performed by twisting your body while standing, making a sweeping movement from one side and then to the other.
4. Elevated Legs workouts
These are the exercises which utilize your abdominals in union with your other muscles. These any exercise that you can perform while maintaining your lower legs on its 90 degrees angle.
