6 Questions to Ask Yourself When Choosing the Right Exercise Machine
This entry was posted on January 22, 2013.
The exercise machine industry offers many choices for the buyers. While diversity is always good, too many choices sometimes lead customers into confusion. If you are searching for the right exercise equipment, there are certain factors that you need to consider. Ask the following questions:
- How often will I use the machine?
- How does this equipment help me achieve my goals?
- Is the equipment worth the money?
- Is it comfortable or well made?
- Do I have storage and room for this equipment?
- Why should I choose this equipment on top of everything else?
These questions will help guide you to the right choice. There is a reason why various designs and type of exercise machines have been developed over the last few decades. For one, strengthening certain areas of the body means focusing on that particular area. At the same time, cardiovascular exercises are necessary to achieve your ideal weight.
One of the best known equipments is the treadmill. This exercise machine is used for walking, jogging, and running. These activities are necessary to burn calories. There are variations of treadmills available today. Some manufacturers added fresh features but the purpose is definitely the same.
If you are planning to get a treadmill, you must consider how much storage space you can spare. At the same time, you have to check the workout intensity. In most cases, treadmills with 1.25- to 1.5- horsepower are the best.
Stationary bike is common exercise equipment in gyms. This exercise machine simulates the actual body movements when riding a bicycle. This means you burn the same amount of calories without leaving the comforts of your home. It provides intensive exercise without putting too much stress on the knees. For people who are working on a budget, this equipment is relatively affordable.
Rowing machines have also become popular fitness equipments as of late. While it may seem like it only works out the upper body parts, a rowing machine actually uses 75% force from the legs. However, a common complaint about this machine is that it is perceived to be the most boring indoor exercise. This has something to do with the fact that it uses uncommon movements. At the same time, it is difficult to do other activities such as reading or watching TV while rowing. This is one consideration that you have to think about in buying this particular exercise machine.
Some people consider joining a gym before they purchase any workout equipment. This does not mean you should get a year’s worth of membership since your only purpose is to know the equipments. There are gyms in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Jacksonville, and Shreveport that offer trial contracts without sign up fees.
