Tips to Buying Exercise Equipment ? Build Muscles

Fitness Equipment: The cost of gym memberships (and the gasoline it takes to get yourself there) are on the rise, and while the initial cost of home workout machines may be higher than a gym membership, you will save money in the long run by purchasing your own home gym machines. You will also save valuable time by working out at on fitness equipment at home. When the Exercise Equipment is right in front of you, in your living room or bedroom or exercise room, it becomes the motivation.

Getting in and staying in shape is important for both your body and mind. It helps you feel better, look better and live better.

Tips to Buying Exercise Equipment

Looking for a way to shape up? Keep fit? Stay limber? A diet of regular exercise can help. Different types of exercise benefit the body in different ways: some improve flexibility; some improve muscular strength. Others enhance physical endurance, and still others improve cardiovascular and respiratory efficiency.

Good Intentions Require Follow-through The benefits of exercise are widely known, but the keys to maintaining an exercise program can be elusive. Unfortunately, relatively few consumers stick with their programs: basements, rec rooms, and yard sales are stocked with costly stationary cycles, treadmills, and rowing machines that have been underused, neglected, or turned into clothes hangers. Good intentions are no match for stretching, walking, lifting, swimming — or any other regular physical activity. Which exercise is best? The one you’re really going to do.

Before you buy, the FTC suggests you ask yourself the following questions:

What Are Your Goals?

Whether you want to build strength, increase flexibility, improve endurance, or enhance your health, look for a program that meets your personal goals. Remember that the best route to overall fitness and health is one that incorporates a variety of physical activities as part of a daily routine.

Will You Really Use Exercise Equipment?

In theory, exercising at home sounds great. But if you don’t use a piece of equipment regularly, it can burn a hole in your pocket without burning off any calories. Before you buy, prove to yourself that you’re ready to stick to an ongoing fitness program. Set aside some time in your day for physical activity — and then do it.

Can you try the equipment before you buy?

Before you buy any exercise equipment, try it out. A few minutes at a sporting goods store while you’re wearing street clothes isn’t very helpful. Test different types of equipment at a local gym or recreation center. Better still, go to the store dressed for exercise and give the equipment a full work-out.

Don’t Believe Everything You Hear.

Some fitness products that sound great on infomercials have limited effectiveness. Abdominal exercise devices, for example, don’t really offer any results beyond those achieved by doing abdominal exercises without equipment. (However, the devices can provide some head and neck support, if they fit your body size properly.)

Don’t Go It Alone.

Ask questions of other exercisers and fitness professionals, as well as equipment representatives. Before buying, find out about equipment delivery, setup, warranties and return policies.

Anorexics only? thanks.?

admin — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 15:07:00 +0000

whats the best way to lose about 15lb in 30 days?
i can’t do a long term fast, and i don’t have access to a gym/fitness equipment ATM,

i think i’ll end up at around 147lb after xmas, i hope to lose at least 5lb on a juicefast/fast/fruitfast for 6 days (2 days of each) then i want to lose an additional 15lb before feb 1. best way to go about it? thanks!!!

(note: i am a sufferer. have been in recovery. am trying to lose recovery/christmas weight after christmas and my fasty thing) and if it makes any difference i’m 5’8/145 atm.
um did you read the question?

i’m a sufferer.
i’ve been in recovery which is why i’m so fat
(i got out at 180lb and i’ve lost 35lb. i need to lose 15lb in january.)
its not that i’m not motivated
cant afford a gym, and my parents are waiting till there is a sale at target or w/e so they can buy an elliptical

most i can do is a 1/2 hour walk and stretches till my muscles hurt (which doesnt burn calories)

im trying to get my parents to rent a treadmill. idk if it’ll work though
alliana: i’ve already been in recovery. i weighed 105 and was 5’7. which wasnt even that skinny.
but anyway most i ever lost was 10lb in a month.

Best fitness equipment for a rounder, shaped butt (PLEASE help!)?

I’m skinny and have NO muscles. So my butt is pretty flat. I don’t have time to go to a gym, I’m thinking about getting a machine to work out. Can anybody suggest a good machine? Does that Leg Magic works well for butts? (http://www.fitnessinfomercialreview.com/reviews/leg_magic)

P.S. Most machines that made for butt also make you have muscles on your legs. I don’t want it since my legs look great. My only problem is my flatty skinny butt

admin — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 10:18:21 +0000

Hello, I recently joined the LA fitness gym, and i’m a little confused on what to work on & what daily plan i should use. I currently weigh 220 at 5’9, I’m 17 years old, and have a BFP(body fat percentage) of 37%. I don’t know whether to work on Cardio machines 1st or Weightlifting 1st, or if i should just combine them both, but how. How should i workout, if I really want to lose 60 pounds and get muscle as I burn fat. I want to get nice, toned, good looking ripped muscles, and I know i need to burn that fat …Can anyone please guide me and provide any information about working out or a workout program that is fit for me? Info. on diet plans, working out plans, and any other general facts about this topic will be helpful.

Thank You!

what type of workout should i do??

admin — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 17:36:20 +0000

ok so basically
i exercise everyday but mostly cardio
i also want to build muscle not to much just i wanna have a fast metabolism and long, lean, toned muscles but lose all the body fat (i am also on a healthy, good, diet)
i dont really have access to a gym
the fitness equipment i have is
two 3lb dumbells, one of those fitness balls (the big blow-up ones), a leg press machine and a ski machine (kinda like an elliptical but you arms and legs move independently which = a more efficient workout)
does anyone know of any good workouts or any websites that have them
Thanks ahead of time
