Owning a Treadmill or Elliptical Will Improve Your Quality of Life

Written by admin on August 25, 2010 – 11:50 pm -

There are many reasons to own your own treadmill or elliptical. Below is a list of 16 reasons with a brief description. You may be able to add others to this list, including your own personal reasons. Remember, it is never to late to get started with an exercise program and greatly improve the quality of your life. 1) Burn more calories: Treadmills burn more calories per hour than any other exercise machine.

Best Budget Elliptical Trainers

Written by admin on January 20, 2010 – 4:52 am -

Fitness reviews say that, in general, the best elliptical trainers cost at least $1,000. If $1,000 is beyond your budget for an elliptical trainer, you still have some options, but experts say you shouldn't expect a low-end machine to offer the same flexibility and durability as more expensive elliptical trainers. That's most evident in the manufacturer warranty. On the higher-quality elliptical machines above, one-year warranties are standard, but less expensive models often only back their machines with a 90-day warranty. Reviews like the Schwinn 418 (est $800) , which wins a couple of best-buy ratings. The Schwinn 418 has a flywheel design, like the Smooth elliptical trainers above, and the handlebars move, providing an upper body workout.... more

7 WAYS TO BURN FAT FASTER

Written by admin on January 12, 2010 – 9:12 pm -

LOSE YOUR EXTRA POUNDS WITH THESE PRO TIPS by Genevieve Monsma Time your pre-meal snack Eating a low-carbohydrate protein bar 90 minutes before you work out will enable you to exercise longer and harder (and burn more calories) than you normally would, says Steve Zim, author of “Hot Point Fitness.” However, that 90-minute mark is crucial. Eat any closer to your workout and blood will rush to your stomach, actually diminishing your performance. Breathe through your nose Inhaling and exhaling through your nose, rather than your mouth, helps stabilize your heart rate and (like the pre-workout snack) increase your endurance. The result? You work out longer and burn more calories. But don't get discouraged if it feels unnatural at first; it... more

Written by admin on September 14, 2009 – 1:35 am -

By John Paul Lee Have you ever set foot in a gym, only to find an endless number of different cardio machines with no clue on where to even start? You'll find cardio machines ranging from elliptical to treadmills to stair climbers and many more, but which cardio machines work the best in aiding your goal to lose weight without any complications? Before we begin, there are three main things that you should remember when choosing a cardio machine. 1. Pick a cardio machine that doesn't require much skill.

Written by admin on August 26, 2009 – 9:06 pm -

10 ways to get moving and shed pounds! By Kathleen Doheny WebMD Feature Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD No time to work out? No time to plan healthy meals?

If sedentary Americans -- and that's nearly 40% of adults -- would adopt some fun ways to get fit, chances are good they will pick up the exercise habit for good, experts say. And once the exercise habit kicks in, eating better and losing weight come easier. Getting fit and getting trim is... more
