i have no time for gym i work at catering hall which is a physical job 8 hours and also full time college so i just work out at home 8 packs, biceps, doing some diamond push ups, pull ups, jump rope and running. trying to get in shape for break dancing. 

Eliezer Ben Avraham:
as long as the equipment is not electronic I would think its ok

דוד בן זאב אריה:
I belive that it is considered work and doning that is not using the Sabbath to rest I could be wrong though

Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
If you want tomm I will post Sefardic Kitzur Shulhan Aruch.

jdl4ever:
The Rambam in Hilchot Shabbat Chapter 21 states that exercising on the Shabbat (he then gives an example of walking until you break up a sweat) is Rabbinically prohibited and he then gives a very weird reason; because it is a type of Refuah (healing practice) and in that Chapter he says that medicine and healing remedies are Rabbinically prohibited because one might come to grind the herbs together to make the medicine which is a Biblical prohibition on the Shabbat.
