    That long racks that hold all of those weird heavy things with handles, they all seem to have progressive numbers depending on the size of the object

    I love the arc trainer. It's the only machine I can do on for hours at a time without dying and gasping for air!
    I also use the elliptical and the stationary bike. I do intervals on the treadmill, and the other day I started warming up on the stair master.
    Do you have any recommendations for machines to use at the gym? What is your favorite?

    If you are not gasping for air then that simply means that machine does not cause you to work as hard as the other machines, which defeats the point of working out in the first place.

    Gotta go with this one- Try something that's challenging and new. You'd be better off doing something harder and not for "hours at a time".

    Lately it's the rowing machine, but I love a good leg press any day of the week

    Squat rack, free weights, med ball, swiss ball, Bosu, ladder, hurdles, cones, Trx, free motion cable machine, resistance band, skipping rope, rower, bodyweight exercises. Occasionally I'll use the dreadmill or bikes.

    Rowing machine, but only when the river is frozen. (I concede that the river is not in the gym. But the rowing shell is still my favorite machine of all.)

    Stair master by far. I love it but lately my right knee hates it so I had to cool it & do other things for now... LOL

    Smith Machine!

    Yes, I like the fact that my gym has a Smith Machine also! It ensures that the squat rack is more likely to be free.

    Machine preacher curl. I have a bad habit of leaning backwards during standing curls, but preachers let me keep better form.
