Home Treadmills
Bing Home In A Treadmill For Fitness And Long Life.
Though not the be-all and end-all of everything,
engaging in physical activity does have effects that can be very
beneficial to your health. First, it helps build and maintain healthy
bones, muscles and joints. Not only that, but it has a direct effect on
weight control, building lean muscles, and fat reduction. Physical
activity can also prevent or delay the development of high blood
pressure and helps reduce blood pressure in some adolescents with
hypertension.
If physical education doesn’t do
the job (especially if you’re no longer schooling), then engage in
physical activity at home by your own initiative. Home exercise
equipment, such as treadmills and stationary bikes, have been known to
produce the same effects as running or walking outside.
Even
recent studies have proved that treadmill is the best exercise
equipment. Studies carried out by the Journal of American Association
showed that treadmills have easily outpaced an exercise bicycle, a
cross-country skiing machine and a rowing machine. The study gained
importance as it was conducted with a group of volunteers at the
Milwaukee Veterans Administration Hospital. The volunteers were made to
do a series of workouts on different machines, each time exercising at
what felt like the same intensity.
To measure the number of
calories burned, researchers used a special device. Dr. Martin Hoffman
of the Medical College of Wisconsin found that “the treadmill allowed
the individuals to burn as much as 200 calories per hour more than the
bicycle ergometer, which came out having the lowest energy expenditure.”
Choice
in Home Exercise Equipment
As a home exercise equipment, the
treadmill presents both convenience and affordability in one neat
package. It’s not as expensive as other home exercise equipment and yet
it produces very nearly the same positive results. Not only that, but
the treadmill has always been a favorite among exercise enthusiasts,
whether they do their exercises at home or in the gym.
Using a
treadmill to exercise and burn down calories is very simple, even the
most un-sporty individual can do it. Why? Because a treadmill requires
nothing more form you than doing something that you’ve been doing for
most of your life – WALKING.
According to the annual
consumer survey of the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, more
than 45 million Americans currently use treadmills today, either at home
or in a gym. They are even more popular than stationary bikes, stair
machines, ellipticals, and rowing machines.
Perhaps, what makes
treadmills really stick among the mass of exercise and fitness
enthusiasts is that it can guarantee a consistent workout in all seasons
and in all climates. With a treadmill, you do not have to think about
common running worries, such as weather conditions – too hot, too cold,
too windy, too wet, too humid, and so on. Treadmills provide a means of
exercise that is “just right.”
