No Time to Get to the Gym? Try a Treadmill at Home!

Treadmill-Elliptical Reviewer — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:05:58 +0000

These days, everybody knows how important fitness is to our overall health. In fact, most doctors agree that you can’t have optimum health without some degree of fitness.

In theory, it only takes 20 to 30 minutes a day of moderate exercise to achieve the perfect levels of fitness for your health. This exercise should, ideally, incorporate both aerobic and strength training. You don’t even have to get the full half hour in at once. You can break it up into three 10 minute sections and still get the benefit.

However, in spite of this relatively modest exercise requirement for health, a lot of people claim they simply don’t have time for it. To today’s busy career adults, it’s difficult to work exercise into a schedule that involves working from 8 am to 5 pm, then coming home to take care of a family.

Getting to the gym to properly exercise on fitness equipment may seem impossible. After all, even if the gym is close, any time spent there is time spent away from the spouse and kids. It’s not an easy sacrifice to make.

Fortunately, there is a wide variety of home health equipment available today. You can literally transform a room, or even a corner of your home into a gym that you can use daily. All it takes is a treadmill, stair-stepping machine, or exercise bike, and a few weights.

Once you’ve got it set up, you can take your exercise in 10 minute increments with ease. Just work it in while dinner is cooking, while you’re watching TV, or even while you’re talking to your kids about their day at school. You’ll never have to take time away from your family to go to the gym again, because the gym will be at home.

It’s also much easier to get motivated to exercise when the exercise equipment is standing right in front of you. If you put it in a main room of the house, you can’t ignore it. It will always be there as a reminder to do your duty and get fit, so your body can achieve optimum health and you can be around for your kids and grandkids for a long time to come.

The Importance of Stretching Before and After Exercise

Treadmill-Elliptical Reviewer — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 22:00:14 +0000

Many people don’t take the time to stretch their muscles before and after exercise and then they wonder why they are getting injured all the time.

It only takes minutes to stretch your muscles and by doing so you will pump more blood into the area that needs it thereby reducing the chance of injury.

Considering the time it takes to recover from injury and the loss of valuable fitness training, stretching is something that should never be left out of any training routine.

It is just as important to stretch whether you are on a resistance-training program or simply going for a walk.

Many different muscles are activated with the various types of exercise we do and it is essential to target those muscles when stretching.

If you are intending to do a heavy weight session on the lower body then you would need to warm up your leg muscles with some time on a stationary bike and then possibly touching your toes to limber up your lower back and hamstrings.

If you are going for a run, you would also need to stretch your legs, and in particular your hamstrings, where many runners have problems.

Tight hamstrings can also create problems with your lower back so often the problem is coming from an area other than where the pain is felt.

Stretching should always be light and never forced as that alone can cause more injury than some of the exercises we perform.
You should never bounce when stretching either as this can tear muscles or strain them enough that they will tear during the course of training.

Setting Up Your Home Gym

Treadmill-Elliptical Reviewer — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:02:27 +0000

More and more of us are eliminating expensive health club and gym memberships and are looking for ways to work out effectively at home.

Investing in some items of home fitness equipment can be a motivating way to get you on the road to slim, fit and toned!

Here are a few tips and ideas for getting you thinking about what you would like to create at home.

Even if you do not have much room there are ways to maximize your floor space to squeeze as much in as safely and effectively as possible. There are many choices out there from rowing machines, treadmills, elliptical machines and bikes and it can be rather overwhelming.

All in all there are three areas to think about when designing your home gym.

First, consider what your physical fitness goals are for your gym. Is your aim to tone, build cardiovascular fitness, build up muscle or lose weight? These factors will depend on your sex, age and your health and fitness levels and social factors like whether you have a partner, family or live alone.

Second there are some real ‘must haves’ in the range of home fitness equipment like free weights, at least one cardio machine, and dumbbell sets. Look for equipment combinations that are most suitable for your home gym while considering your personal fitness goals and the practical things like your budget and floor space.

You also will want to take a look around at pieces of fitness equipment or exercise DVD’s that you already have. There is a good chance that you may have stopped using these due to lack of motivation, but by having a home gym or specific place to workout you may find that your motivation will return.

If you currently have a piece of fitness equipment that you will no longer be using, think about selling it and putting that money towards your new equipment.

Third bear in mind the floor plan and layout you would like. Consider things like which pieces of gym equipment fit together in your allocated workout areas, floor space requirements, window positions along with mirrors and other exciting accessories.

So let’s look in more detail at the three main areas above.

Regarding your physical fitness goals, consider the areas of cardio, fat burn and weight loss and assess how overweight you are, if at all. It may be helpful to take a look at some height and weight charts to determine the type of aerobic and cardiovascular exercises suitable for you and how much weight training equipment is needed.

Notice how your weight is distributed. Are you top or bottom heavy? For example, if you are bottom heavy, focus on exercising the legs, so a bike or treadmill or elliptical is better than a strength training machine. If your weight is pretty much balanced, then having a general range of equipment is best.

Other things to think about regarding your objectives for your home fitness equipment are whether you have any injuries, your current level of fitness and who else will be using the equipment. Also, it is important to be clear about your objectives when you go to the store or buy online so you stick to your plan and are not influenced!

Regarding layout, basements are ideal as they can support the heavy weight of gym machines and weights. Be sure that you have enough space to stretch in all directions for mat based workouts. Keep cardiovascular equipment next to windows that you can open to get fresh air while you work out. Have the step, bench mat and weight rack in the same area.

It is a good idea to use mirrors in your gym and in fact is it essential when using free weights to ensure a good posture, so mount them on as many walls as possible. Put a full length mirror in your stretch area. Mirrors help to ensure you keep good posture at all times. You don’t need to mirror your entire workout area, but you should have at least 1.

These are great starting points to consider when designing your own gym at home. Assessing your own individual objectives further will help you to decide what kind of home fitness equipment you will need to create your ideal home fitness empire!

Reebok Vista 8500 Treadmill

Treadmill-Elliptical Reviewer — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:52:56 +0000

Reebok Vista 8500 Treadmill model RBTL09906

The Reebok 8500 treadmill is an entertainment treadmill with a built in 7″ flat screen TV with built in speakers so that you can watch your favorite programs while you workout.
However don’t think that you’ll sacrifice the features that you want in order to have a TV.
The Reebok Vista 8500 treadmill comes with 12 workout programs – 8 Personal Trainer workouts, 2 Heart Rate workouts, 2 Create & Save workouts.
And what I especially like is that this treadmill displays your progress as a 1/4 mile track which adds motivation. It’s fun to watch as your progress rounds the track and gives you incentive to go just a bit further with each workout.

The Reebok 8500 also has a 0 – 12% power incline to simulate going up hill, a 0 – 12 MPH quick step speed control to easily change speeds on the fly, SoftMax™ isolator to help protect your joints from impact, a fan to help keep you cooler and a long 12 year motor warranty.

On a Fitness Budget – Get A Treadmill

If you’re on a budget but need just one piece of exercise equipment you can use day after day – get a treadmill.

Treadmills are the best pieces of exercise equipment out there because everyone can use them to the degree that suits your cardiovascular needs. Believe it or not, treadmills are multi-use machines.

Treadmills can be used rain or shine – so no more weather excuses. You can take a long walk, quick run, or medium-length jog and be able to just jump off whenever you please instead of having to turn around and go back to where you came from.

This piece of exercise equipment is also helpful because it makes your heart stronger. When you run on the treadmill, your heart pumps out blood faster and faster – the more pumps, the stronger it gets. It’s been said that fitness is the best way to get healthy, that exercise will out-perform medicine in many cases.

A treadmill is a great piece of exercise equipment because it burns fat fast. According to experts across the country, the treadmill burns the most calories out of all other exercise equipment – beating out thing such as rowing machines, stair machines, and even the elliptical depending on how you use it.

Many may argue that these pieces of exercise equipment, while effective, may not be as good for you as a walk outdoors because they don’t give you the ups and downs of a normal road, but they’re mistaken.

Almost all treadmills that are sold now have resistance training (uphill, downhill slants) and have different workout options such as fat burner, marathon training, and more that will create a variety in your walking instead of just walking on a flat surface.
