Not So Dumb Anymore

Not So Dumb Anymore

We’re long past the days when dumbbells were just for meatheads, when your dad or your brother or your grandpa had a set in the garage and pumped up before going out drinking. Strength training came out of the garage a long time ago, and is recommended for everyone now, young and old, male and female. Marketing being what it is, yes, there was the unfortunate phase of the “lady dumbbells,” pink, of course, but condescending products aside, there’s no doubt that strength training is an exceptional workout. Strength training has numerous long-lasting benefits, and if you’re at all physically able, it’s worth it to come up with at least a light routine that you can do multiple times a week. In addition to just making you stronger, weight training workouts improve your posture, decrease pressure on your joints (because your muscles are strong enough to do the work), and enhance bone density. Weight training after menopause has been shown to help women maintain bone strength and stave off osteoporosis. Today’s weights are designed to keep you fit and toned without patronizing you.

Walk It Off

With grueling boot camps, tae-bo and other intense TV workouts, mixed martial arts, and any number of exotic ways to get in shape, there’s something undeniably quaint about just going for a walk in your living room. But the treadmill is a time-honored and time-tested piece of equipment for a reason: There’s no safer low-impact workout. If you’re already 120 pounds of solid muscle, you’re past a walking workout—feel free to carry on with your kickboxing. But people begin a workout routine for a variety of reasons, and many who are just getting started with exercise aren’t yet ready to take on an intense workout from “The Biggest Loser.” A new exerciser who is extremely overweight will probably have limited mobility, but if she can get up, she can walk. Treadmills come with a variety of features, but all have adjustable settings, and even beginners can set up a rhythm that’s comfortable to do for a few minutes at a time. For a basic unit, we offer the Vision T9200, a model that lets you choose your console—simple, deluxe, or premier. The simple console gives you basic heart rate information …
