Any of the weight machines. Using dumbbells allows you to use your own range of motion and you must use stabilizer muscles to keep them in proper form. Not to mention when you work bi-laterally, (i.e. pushing two sepparate dumbbells in a chest press rather than one machine with two hands where your dominate side can make up for your lack of strength on your non-dominant side) your body will become equally strong on both sides! www.thegetinshapebooty.com

I agree one hundred percent with the chin up bar. I have never mastered it, and I always tell myself that someday I will. If anyone has tips on how to master it I am all ears!

Cheree - Spin classes are an amazing workout. The best part is the fitness instructor only guides you along, you adjust your own tension so you can make it easier or harder.

Yes, chin-up bar for me too. Brings back fears from elementary gym class. That's why I have come to LOVE the Gravitron. Makes me feel like I can finally master that stupid challenge. :)

Without a doubt....The Stair Machine!When I did try to do it, I only lasted 3 minutes on it, which really tells me how out of shape I have become. Not to mention, I am always afraid I am going to miss a step and fall off. I am determined to get my butt back on it though!

I dont know why, but Im afraid of the cables. I want to do them soo bad, because I really want to do the cable kick backs for my glutes and other exercises, but Im afraid of looking stupid in front of all the brawny men and women! I've been watching people do it to try and learn from a far, but need to build up the guts to just try it or ask someone. I wish it was in another section of the gym that was less intimidating! ha

The thing I fear most is the simplest little gadget out there. Its that horrible little ab wheel!! When my trainer pulls that thing out I cringe in fear. I guess I hate it mainly because I cant really roll out well due to my weight.
That said I had another exercise that we used to do that made me want to cry when I saw it on the set list but now I take great pride in my ability to do it.
(no idea what that one is called. Involves sitting down, leaning back, lifting up your legs and taking them side to side over a small cone and tapping the ground on either side. core strength exercise. Well the first time I couldnt do even one, now I can do 30.
I guess the point is that we need to conquer our fears and take on challenges? It makes us stronger literally and metaphorically.

My gym has added a Treadwall that I would LOVE to try! It is a completely vertical rotating wall that has a rock-climbing side and a step ladder side. I do have a minor fear of heights, and then the intimidation of trying it and falling! I am recruiting a friend to get over my fear!

The Spin Bike! I'm scared to death to go in there, I'm afraid I won't be able to last and I'll look like a wimp! Plus at my gym, all the bikes face the wall of windows and sits next to the front lobby.
