Do treadmills really work? was going to post this?

April 15th, 2010 admin 2 comments

in the fitness section but every time you do you get fake adds for diet pills so I thought Id stick to the section I always stick to, Newborn & Baby =]

Anyways do treadmill’s work? If I was to WALK on one every day for atleast 20 minutes would I see results. I originally wanted a elliptical but we dont have the room for it because it wont fold up so im stuck with getting the treadmill.

& do they fit in your vehicle or would it require special delivery.
We have a car and a 4 door "truck" more like a jeep were going to put the seats down.

They do work, walking is a great way to lose weight but you won’t be burning as many calories as you would if you were running or doing another super intense workout so you should try to be careful with your calorie intake. Anyone can lose weight, as long as they are burning more calories that they are taking in.

What fitness equipment should I get?

March 25th, 2010 admin 5 comments

I would like to lose 50 lbs. I’ve already got my diet changed and have been sticking with that for the past 2 months or so and it seems to be working. Now I am looking into buying some fitness equipment so I can get in good workouts at home (I have no intention of joining a gym) and I would like to know which stuff works best. Treadmill, elliptical, jump rope? Whatever is the most effective for weight loss really. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Saralahalawawa,

The honest answer to this question is very dependent upon you. There is no one size fits all equipment option that best suits you needs.

For the intro user I would highly suggest cardio equipment. While a treadmill can help you lose weight quickly, the impact on your joints (knees, hips, and lower back) can be more substantial versus an elliptical trainer, or a recumbent bike.

For the most intense workout and to shed weight the most effective way I would recommend products that incorporate total body movement to allow parts of your body to be exercised and all your muscles to burn fat.

In my personal option you should take a look at indoor rowers, Jacobs Ladder, and possibly a VersaClimber.
P.S. If you want the most intense workout at home, you can invest in a StairMaster Stepmill - depending on your cardio level 15-30 minutes will be enough to make you cry :-)
