So, I'm using tire pumps, the hand and foot kinds to add air to tanks for use in my shop.
First I pump up a small one gallon tank, then open a valve to send it through a filter and moisture remover into one of several larger tanks or 2 portable ones I use for adding to tires.
Next step is to make mounts for the hand pumps at different angles to simulate a weight machine.
I have an antique 3 stage hand pump that works on push and pull that worked for a while, but need to make new leathers for it.
For the exercises I can't or haven't yet adapted to pumping air, am using weights and kettle bells.
I've set this up at spots I walk by a lot to exercise at random as recommended by Arnold Schwarzenegger for better results.
Next will be bicycle and/or treadmill to compress air and/or generate electricity.
That’s awesome! I hate exercise as well. Even though biking does help with my blood pressure, it actually doesn’t provide the motivation I need to keep it up. The reason I keep it up is that I feel unbelievably amazing for the whole rest of the day when I do it in the morning. I feel like I’m floating on a cloud. I’m extremely relaxed. I don’t think I could keep this up if I didn’t get that feeling from it.
I like your solution! That’s awesome!
