The ISS gym

There's a gym in space too, but they don't use it to build big ass β they use it to avoid losing it...π
ARED (Advanced Resistive Exercise Device) is a workout machine on the ISS that helps astronauts keep their muscles strong in zero gravity.
Since regular dumbbells donβt work in space (no gravity), ARED uses vacuum cylinders. These cylinders create resistance, just like lifting something heavy on Earth. Instead of weights, it uses air pressure β the higher the pressure, the "heavier" the exercise feels.
On this machine, astronauts can do familiar exercises like squats, bench presses, or leg presses. It also has a computer that shows how much effort you're putting in and helps adjust the load.
Time to hit the gym, guys!

That's fascinating, but also makes total sense! I never knew that! Also, you look beautiful! I wonder how you'd look (and feel) in zero gravity
Brian
oh no. we must test the long term preservation of space booty, space travel progress should pause until we review the findings!

Haha yes it's similar. I also have some resistance bands, but there is more complicated then dumbbells honestly. About gym rats - I will sufferπ
Ana
As I always say : good genetics and gymπ

Incredible bum

This basically is like the resistance bands in my "home gym" which isn't much of a gym because of the lack of dumbbells. I have to wonder if the muscled behemoths who frequent gyms on Earth would even want to cope with space travel.

I knew you would come back:3
