Is An Elliptical the Way to Go?

Is An Elliptical the Way to Go

The elliptical trainer is an admittedly funny-looking contraption with its long, ski-like pedals. But it’s been a valuable part of the fitness equipment world for more than 20 years for a reason: The elliptical offers a low-impact cardio workout that can’t be beat. Ellipticals were designed to be easy on the joints, so they’re perfect for people with bad knees who can’t handle running; and even though the impact is minimal on the joints, it’s still a fantastic cardiovascular workout. Ellipticals let you simulate running, walking, or riding a bike, and some incorporate both upper- and lower-body motion as well. At Fitness Expo, we’re pleased to be able to offer you elliptical trainers from ElliptiGO, Precor, Life Core, Life Fitness, and others. And, surprise, the ElliptiGOs—3C, 8C, and 11R—are actually built to be taken out on the road. Again, they’re kind of funny looking, but the 3C gives you the basic resistance levels and in a more comfortable position than standard bike riding. The 8C takes it up a notch with 8 levels of resistance and the capacity to ride on flat or moderately hilly surfaces; you’ll get a killer cross-training workout from the 8C. But Fitness Expo isn’t just …

Walk It Off

The treadmill seems a bit old-fashioned these days, it’s true. 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 …
