Exercise Equipment

Help on deciding which piece of exercise equipment is best suited for your individual fitness goals! Where to start! Each piece of exercise equipment is designed for certain muscle types and all provide a variety of workouts. Below i have listed 4 of the most common pieces of exercise equipment, and the main benefits of each piece of exercise equipment. My personal favorite piece of equipment is the treadmill.

Treadmills

  • Treadmills have been proved the most efficient piece of exercise equipment too burn fat/calories
  • Walking/running is the most natural thing for a person to do
  • If a person simply walked an average of 30 minutes a day, three to five days a week, they will see improvements in all sorts of areas
  • Treadmill decks will provide you with less impact on your joints than a street pavement or road
  • Reduce stress and increase energy levels
Elliptical/Crosstrainers

  • An elliptical trainer workout has such gentle impact on your joints that lots of fitness experts recommend the elliptical trainer to people who have a hard time trying to exercise because of physical hold backs such as bad joints and arthritis
  • Good for toning up your legs and upper body at the same time!
  • Ideal if you don't like walking and running
Exercise Bike

  • Ideal for toning and building your thighs!
  • Recumbent exercise bikes allow people to get a much more comfortable workout than upright exercise bikes and other pieces of exercise equipment
  • Exercise bikes tend to be the cheapest piece of equipment starting from around £150 - £300 for decent upright bikes
Rowing Machines

  • The Rower is the best piece of equipment for any one wanting to lose weight and tone up at the same time
  • Rowing machines use every major muscle group in the human body
  • Using a rowing machine regularly will help you tone up parts of your body you normally find hard to workout.
  • Rowing is a good exercise for your heart and your lungs
These are just a few benefits on 4 types of exercise equipment available for home use. I hope this is helpful to the relevant people.
