Working Out Aboard the Space Station

I do all of these exercise here in the gym on Earth too. Damn, that's just awesome. I think I could live in space for a while.

@DukeNukemIsHere3 yes.. that is what i try to tell people when they say "they can't stay that long in space" there bodies would eventually adapt to microgravity and they could live there in space for years, it just gets pretty bad once they hit earth

I wonder if they ever thought of marketing this? It would be a versatile machine that's easy to move (depending on how heavy those pumps are).
