My company added a new fitness center to our building, so I don't have a ton of equipment, but I'm getting bored with my routine and need to mix it up. Here's the equipment we have available:

- Treadmills
- Speed cycle
- Recumbant cycle
- Elliptical
- Hack Sled
- Free Weights

I've been doing about 20 minutes on the recumbant bike or elliptical. Then leg, calf and shin lifts on the leg-lift portion of the hack sled. Followed by squats on the hack sled. Then some free weights for my arms and shoulders. I end up with 150+ crunches and leg lifts for my lower abs.

I don't feel my inner and outer thighs are getting a workout, nor my chest. How can I do these without a bench or machine? Also, how can I mix it up with this equipment?

Thanks in advance,
LauraP
