Smart gym for space
Find a way to adapt common gym tools for a reduced gravity environment and design a workout routine that can minimize bone and muscular loss while being fun and easy to use during a long term mission. In doing so consider constraints regarding weight (equipment should weigh less than 500kg) and dimensions. Consider incorporating virtual reality to simulate a jog through an astronaut’s favorite Earth destinations or incorporate gaming to motivate users.

Commonised Resistive Exercise Device
A multiple exercise equipment with simple technology
A set of springs replacing pneumatics for Creating resistance that helps the astronaut to workout in the space with zero gravity
Technology
The Springs Resistance is manipulated in order to vary the load, This will help the astronaut to workout with precession
A single barbell attached to the spring system with elastic bands which hold the functionality of full body workout.
pros:
•Occupancy is a very big constraint in a space station
• Unique solution for wide range of effective exercise is needed
• Simple and robust design
• Lighter equipment is an advantage
• Collapsible design for more space gain when not in use
• Equipped with simplest components like springs and elastic ropes.
some varieties of springs, shaft, pull up bar, bearings, discs with grooves to run a rope or belt, elastic bands and astronaut to use it
