Home gym equipment in London? I'm planning to buy a home gym (Marcy or York). It's easy to order one online, for sure. However, I'd like to try it out before assembling it at home. Are there any stores in London specialized in such equipment where I could try and they would then deliver it...? nealo d - thanks for your answer, but I was there and they told me they stopped selling home gyms a couple of years ago. So no luck there...

York Inspiration Treadmill at Argos? i want to buy a treadmill in the next few weeks and was just wandering if anyone had one of these: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3355800/c_1/1|category_root|Sports+and+leisure|10199392/c_2/2|cat_10199392|Home+gym+equipment|10199523/c_3/3|cat_10199523|Treadmills|10199544.htm i've looked around but there arent many reviews, so far i can only find argos selling it. it looks good but i just need to know if it is easy to store as i live in ground floor flat with no room to store it, i got a place in mind behind a door if it folds relatively small.

Is it dangerous to go to a Fitness Center with this Swine Flu outbreak? I work out at a gym on a regular basis, I am from CT, we arent too far from New York where there are cases, and you would think a gym would have lots of germs from everybody sharing equipment.

So yeah, I live in New York, if that's important and I don't want to spend a WHOLE bunch of money. Thanks.

Losing weight/exercising in small apartment w/no access to gym? Hi all, I'm currently living in a small apartment in New York with no access to a gym (I don't think that $200 a month is a reasonable price for a gym membership). Before I moved into the city, I was exercising daily, mixing cardio with weight training and a good diet, but since I've started working, I've slowly, but surely dropped that habit and gained a few pounds and unwanted stomach fat. I'm looking to ease back into the whole routine and wanted to know what were the best exercises I can do in my apartment with limited space to get an overall body work out to supplement the cardio I plan to begin. I am fine with buying free weights or any equipment people recommend, just realize I am extremely limited in space. Also, any tips on getting started and eating healthily again would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

State CA: Question regarding parking space.? State: California/Rental Background: I currently reside in an apartment complex that provides covered and gated parking with storage lockers but they will not provide this to me. I am the only tenant who does not have covered parking or a storage locker. When I first moved into the unit my old PM (who was fired) had me park in front of a garage that housed the property’s gym. I later found out that this gym was never authorized by the company and this is the reason my PM was fired. She was storing her gym equipment in that garage as well as using the other garage for her personal storage. She had me switch spaces with her so she could just say that the garage with the gym equipment was her garage. She told me if I switched spaces with her that I could have her other garage. Well I agreed to switch spaces with her and after she was fired, the property decided to make my new garage space the property’s storage space; therefore, I was once again parking in front of a garage I could not use. I have discussed this issue with my new PM who has yet to do anything to help me either get a new space or resolve the issue that I do not have covered parking or additional storage space. Instead she wants me to park far enough away from the garage so they can open and close it which means that my car sticks out into the drive way making it difficult for other cars to pass. The new PM is also using the garage to store her personal items including a scooter. She asks me to move my car at least once a week and even came up to my apartment the other night at 10:30PM to have me move my car. The week prior to that while I was in vacation in New York City, she called and said I know you are on vacation but I need you to move your car so I can get in the garage. I informed her that I was in New York and unable to move the car she proceeded to call me three more times asking me to move the car. I am not sure how to proceed with this problem. I have communicated to the new PM that I would like a new space as it is inconvenient for me to have to move my car weekly so she has access to the garage and I do not feel comfortable parking my car so far back that my car may get damaged by sticking out into the drive way. This problem has been going on since June and has yet to be resolved. Today when I went home for lunch she had her maintenance guy parking in my space. Please provide advice.

HELP - Different weight plates and bar sizes? So I have these dumbbells, and also bought additional plates for these dumbbells: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3008243/c_1/1|category_root|Sports+and+leisure|15701400/c_2/3|15701400|Home+gym+equipment|14419293/c_3/4|cat_14419293|Weights+and+dumbbells|14419310.htm and now decided to upgrade my home equipment with an EZ bar. This caught my eye, as it is fairly cheap, and the same brand (York) as the dumbbells. But, will the plates from those dumbbells fit on this EZ bar?? Thanks.

What is an affective alternative to DECLINE BENCH PRESS? I'd prefer to work out at home, as there is no gym that would take less than half an hour for me to get to. I have a York bench, and do not intend to spend any more money on exercise equipment. I'd like to work my lower pecks, and have heard that the best way to do this is with decline bench presses. Is there anything that would be just as affective, and have similar results to decline? Thanks for any helpful answers! hey, thx for replies. yh, i defo mean decline. and guys... i dont have a decline bench!! lol i need alternatives

Does this story show illustrate "Parental Responsibility" in the new America ? New York Parents Say Hot Playgrounds Burning Kids NEW YORK — Parents in New York City said their children are getting their feet burned while playing on blistering hot playgrounds. The parents and their supporters said more than a dozen children are scorched each year by hot playground equipment, particularly by black mats under jungle gyms and sliding boards. They said the city is ignoring a public health and safety issue. Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe said signs have been posted in playgrounds warning against going barefoot. He said his department was not going to remove the mats, calling the city's playgrounds "the safest in the world." Parks Department spokesman Jama Adams told the Daily News in Monday editions that there have been "no incidents reported" involving children being burned at playgrounds. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,387265,00.html If you know it's hot, don't let your kid play there ! I think it is Parental Responsibility, or lack of it. Parents complain their feet are burned, then why let them play there barefoot?

To all of you people who said "Poor Avery....." Read his last interview in Dallas from db.com? Avery on this year’s team: “This year’s team? It was a miracle we made the playoffs.’’ And there’s the money shot of the day: Avery Johnson is. … “The Miracle Worker.’’ Avery on the 67-win team: “When we won 67 games, that team significantly, significantly overachieved.’’ More miracles. Are you sensing a theme here? Avery on bad decisions: “We can get up every morning and look ourselves in the mirror, every player that played, coach, and also myself. We can look ourselves in the mirror and really be proud of what we took over when we took over this team and the direction we went in. We can feel very proud of what we did, each and every day. Every decision that I had a chance to be a part of, I can really feel good about it.’’ Proud of every decision he was part of. (And, of course, not so proud of the ones he wasn’t a part of.) Every. Single. Decision. That’s one proud son of a gun. Avery on his organizational know-how: “I think in terms of what I came from a blueprint of what I knew how an organization should be run from top to bottom; I knew what type of players should be drafted, free-agent signings, how the coach should function. I had a really good blueprint with all my successful years down south (as a player with the Spurs). And we were able to come here and really make some headway. We were able to change the culture and attitude. ‘’ Avery on this being a “results-driven business’’: We got the results that we wanted in terms of when we made it to the Finals. Now once you make it to the Finals, one of two teams are going to win, but this organization had never made it there before, so that was a pretty good result.’’ Avery on whether this year he had everything in place to succeed: “No, not this year. This is a different team. Before we made the trade, we had the best record against the Western Conference and one of the things that I talked to Mark and Donnie about, I said: ‘Hey, I’ve got to get a point guard.’ That’s why I wanted to develop Devin Harris.’ I said ‘I’ve got to get this boy to a point where he can be a scorer first and pass some. We got him to a point, like I told you guys before, we were knocking on the door with this young man making the All-Star team. He was going to be an 18-and-8 player. I invested a significant amount of time with him and, again, he was injured and a lot of things were happening around the NBA, and like I said, if we can just hold on a little while, we’ve got the best record against the West. I think we were second or third in the Western Conference at that point and we were going to play the Western Conference quite a bit after the All-Star break. The team was changed and we never really got back on track.’’ Seems pretty clear. Avery is claiming he was 100-percent against acquiring Kidd, 100-percent for handing the reins to Devin. And that the Kidd deal ruined Avery’s blueprint. Wow. He's lying. The Triangle of Authority made it "unanimous,'' says Donnie, who wasn't trying to be argumentative but rather was simply answering a Randy Galloway question. Truth is, to my knowledge, the other two points on the triangle NEVER forced on the coach a player he did not want. NEVER. Avery, when asked if he’d like to clarify: “We not here for slamming anybody’s name through the mud. … Whatever happened, I think my name is on record with the organization as what I wanted to do.’’ As a matter of fact, Avery’s in-house position is very clear to those in the know. Although the record might have gotten stained after having been “slammed through the mud.’’ I will add, as a sidebar: When Avery’s potential future employers are digging around. … and they call Donnie, or Keith Grant, or Dirk. … and they ask them whether Avery is telling the truth about his supposed don’t-trade-for-Kidd views. … I wonder what they’ll say? And I wonder what the prospective employer will think? “The Miracle Worker’’ with more offerings on this year’s club: “I feel proud about what we’ve done here, contrary to popular belief. We were a seventh-seed this year that was anywhere from a seventh to a ninth seed, could have been a 10th seed with this particular team. We weren’t quick. We just didn’t have what it takes to compete against some of the teams in the Western Conference. It is what it is.’’ Only a bit confusing. Avery’s “seven-seed’’ should have been a 10th seed. … but at the same time, “It is what it is’’? And more, on whether Avery got all he could from this year’s team: “Oh, yes. Absolutely. And more. Yes. Yes. Yes.’’ Avery on whether the team tuned him out: “Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. When that happens, then sometimes you need a new voice. It's not that I'm cool with it or I'm not resilient or I'm not disappointed. But this is a part of coaching. Because of that, I've said it all the time. Coaches, we're going to resign or we're going to get fired. Now, whatever words we try to use, that's what happens.’’ I feel absolved. More immediately important to the Mavs in the last two months than Avery’s assorted flaws is this issue, which has little to do with his personality or his strategies: Players eventually tune out coaches. It’s not a coaching crime. It’s cyclical. I’ve tried to explain that my view on this subject is not an attack on Coach, but rather a fact I’ve seen up-close in 28 years of study. Avery said it better than I have. More on the cycle, and how it has nothing to do with ownership: “I'm proud of my working relationship with Mark. I'm proud of it. We've had moments behind the scenes where we've talked about management styles, vision and I've learned a whole heck of a lot from Mark. I don’t have anything but great things to say (about Cuban). There were 29 other owners in the NBA and nobody else gave me my first shot but him. Did we have some rough periods? Absolutely. Am I proud that we were able to get through those rough periods? Yes, I am. “(Coaching changes are) going to happen at some point, whether it was five years down the line or yesterday. … All coaches either get fired or resign.’’ Avery on whether he’s already fielded calls from interested teams: “Yes!’’ That’s grand, and I believe as with most guys, they will be better on their second go-round. “I won’t try to do 200 different things on the first day of training camp,’’ Avery said, in a rare moment of genuine self-reflection. A cautionary note: The buzz suggests that Avery is a candidate for openings with the Bulls and Knicks. (And if Avery is telling the truth about getting multiple calls, he’s almost certainly talking about those positions.) I wrote on Wednesday that if Avery thinks the DFW media represents “Poisonous Journalism,’’ he ain’t seen nothin’ ‘til he loses three straight games in Chicago and New York. I just realized this, for people (maybe Avery included) who think Cuban was a demanding, involved boss? In addition to the fact that I APPLAUD Cuban’s passionate involvement. … Chicago’s owner is Jerry Reinsdorf. New York’s owner is James Dolan. I’m telling you, Avery’s existence in Dallas was more “suite’’ than he knows. Avery on the times when the team did listen to him: “Whatever strategies we tried, they really bought into them -- even if they were bad strategies. Because I've had one (bad strategy) in four years.’’ There were a lot of folks assembled at the press conference. The media came out in full force; when the Ritz-Carlton staff saw most of us unkempt hacks slogging in, they surely assumed we should be entering through the service door, or were maybe begging for dumpster-stored kitchen scraps. There were also a handful of emotional staffers who came three blocks up from the gym to say their goodbyes, including assistant Popeye Jones, broadcaster Laura (Mrs. Joe Prunty) Green, equipment man Al Whitley, trainer Casey Smith and the hard-working PR people. (I thought a number of The Lil’ General’s admiring enlisted men were conspicuous in their absence, but I’m cynical that way. I might even kid that if they had shown up and said anything to Avery, it’d be the first time all year he let most of them speak). And when Coach drawled out the “one bad strategy’’ line, we all chuckled. Avery – in so many ways the most successful coach the Dallas Mavericks have ever employed-- had made a funny. A self-effacing joke. At least I think it was a joke. I didn't right this, I got this from db.com as I stated. And my bad coz it is a little long
