Fitness Equipment Basics by John Mac
from: John MacFitness Equipment Basics by John Mac
Fitness equipment can be split into 2 basic areas, first there
is aerobic or cardio fitness equipment which is designed to give
you a fitness workout to burn off calories & loose weight.
Secondly there is strength/muscular fitness equipment which is
designed to tone, or increase in size, your bodies muscles.
Most fitness equipment that you would expect to find in your
local gym or fitness centre can now be purchased for home use
depending upon the space you have available & the type of
fitness equipment you require.
For aerobic fitness equipment you should consider a treadmill,
an exercise bike or a rowing machine.
Treadmills are popular because you can walk, jog or run on them
making them an ideal piece of fitness equipment for the beginner
right through to professional athletes, being suitable for all
levels of fitness. Make sure you choose one with a wide belt
that is long enough for your stride. If you jog or run a lot
then you should consider a model with cushioning between the
belt and treadmill bed to lesson the impact on your joints.
Basic models are powered by the user but you should choose one
with a motor to vary the speed, the faster you like to run the
higher the motor speed you should choose. New treadmills will
set you back approximately $299 for a self powered one up to
over $5000 for a motorised commercial style one.
Exercise bikes are a popular item of fitness equipment
especially for home use, with numerous types available. Apart
from the standard upright exercise bike some models now offer
upper body work outs as well. The latest designs have recumbent
seats which support your lower back & leave your hands & arms
free to use weights for upper body exercise. Cost $229 or less
to $2599.
Rowing Machines are a very useful piece of fitness equipment
particularly for those with knee problems who feel they are not
up to running or cycling because of their problem. They come in
many different designs from lightweight foldaway to heavier more
rigid designs. New equipment should set you back $239 to $1900.
Fitness equipment for strength/muscular work comes as individual
pieces, such as dumbbells, weight benches, leg or abdominal
equipment or for a total body workout you could try a home gym
which should set you back between $399 to just under $4000
depending upon the space you have available and your budget.
For the best results you should choose at least one piece of
fitness equipment from both the cardio fitness equipment & the
strength fitness equipment, with a home gym being the
recommended piece of equipment for the strength work. Make sure
you choose fitness equipment that you know you will enjoy using
& not something that will end up stuck in the garage. (c) John
