Whether a gym junkie or a fitness beginner, it can be challenging to decide which Gym Equipment will work best. Here’s what you need to know about it.
There are two primary types or workouts: cardiovascular (cardio) exercise and weight training. In general cardio workouts burn more calories which helps with weight loss, whereas weight training helps build muscle. Building muscle improves resting metabolism which will burns more calories in the hours after a workout with weights and at rest. For best results, use both types of exercise in conjunction with a healthy diet.
Different types of gym equipment can be used for cardio workouts and weight training. Elliptical Trainers, Stair Steppers, Rowing Machines, Treadmills and Stationary Bicycles are all excellent options for cardio exercise. Ellipticals and Steppers are low impact on joints whilst treadmills and Exercise Bikes replicate familiar everyday activities like walking, jogging, running and cycling. Rowing Machines are great for providing a whole body workout for arms, legs and back muscles simultaneously.
Before deciding on any new Gym Equipment, set some fitness goals, think about exercise routines you enjoy doing and get an idea of how much space will be needed. Regular workout routines should be engaging and easy to fit into daily routines, so an established workout space goes a long way to help stay motivated.
The easiest way to build an effective Home Gym is to start small and expand later. To get started a setup should include warm down and recovery gear with storage plus Gym Equipment of your choice. Recovery equipment such as foam rollers or Massage Guns helps reduce muscle soreness and fatigue after a workout, which helps to keep up routines throughout the week.
When buying equipment start with machines that you're familiar and comfortable with or exercises you enjoy doing. Once keeping up regular exercise habits it's easy to purchase additional pieces rather than buying everything upfront.
Without proper maintenance Gym Equipment can become less effective and unsafe. Proper maintenance includes a combination of servicing from professionals and preventative upkeep to minimize wear and tear.
Gym Equipment gets sweaty after each use so it's important to clean machines after each use. Wipes designed specifically for Gym Hardware help sanitize gear without damaging padded seats or foam handlebar covers. This eliminates viruses and bacteria from the surfaces of your equipment and with regular cleaning after each use prevents dirt, dust and sweat from building up on machines potentially causing corrosion. Dust and dirt can also prevent machines lubricant from working effectively causing moving parts to fail.
Make sure to consult manuals for guidance on how to properly use, clean and care for Equipment.
Working out on an Exercise Bike is a great way to burn fat and strengthen muscles without exacerbating joint pain. Cycling on a stationary bike is a form of low impact exercise, a type that doesn't put stress on joints and ligaments.
This makes Exercise Bikes an appealing option for people who experience arthritis and joint pains or recovering from a chronic injury. Other low impact Exercise Machines include Elliptical Trainers and Rowing Machines. Remember to talk with a GP doctor, health care professional or physiotherapist before beginning a new exercise routine.
Different types of Exercise Bikes offer different benefits. Upright Bikes are designed to be used whilst leaning forward which helps exercise the upper body as well. Recumbent Bikes have wider seats and provide more back support, while flywheels on Spin Bikes will allow standing up while pedaling.
Using an Exercise Bike is much safer than Outdoor Cycling and gives more control over resistance.
