What Is a Precor AMT?

The average American spends around 10 hours a day sitting. This is primarily attributed to the increasing reliance on technology and sedentary jobs. Lack of physical activity has been linked to numerous health hazards such as a higher risk of developing coronary diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, and more. This can be reversed or entirely avoided by a few minutes or hours of going to the gym or exercising at home.

It’s for this reason that in Metairie, Precor is committed to manufacturing and supplying home and commercial exercise equipment. Precor emphasizes creative innovation, super quality, and overall performance.

With over 30 years in the fitness industry, Metairie Precor fitness equipment has revolutionized the industry from the first ergonomic rowing machine to the latest elliptical training machines and now to the modern Adaptive Motion Trainer (AMT). A good example of the AMT is the Precor AMT 865 Adaptive Motion Trainer.

The company is experienced in anticipating the clients’ demands and hence continuously improve our premium standards to deliver the most effective fitness machines.

The Adaptive Motion Trainer

The AMT is the most versatile cardio equipment that has ever been developed. Many Fitness Expo Stores are now stocking up on AMT due to the increased demand.

With an AMT, you can go from short to long strides, climbing, stepping, walking, running, and back again without changing anything. The AMT equipment helps you personalize your workout. It will engage the entire body and each muscle group for an effective calorie burn.

This equipment can be described as an advanced or combination of a stepper, treadmill, and the elliptical machine. Some of the best models for cardio exercise includes the aforementioned Precor AMT 865 Adaptive Motion Trainer with open stride and the Precor AMT 833 Adaptive Motion Trainer.

These machines and Precor’s other models offer more options in your workout and keep the exercise interesting.

AMT Features

Just like most treadmills, the AMT is equipped with the current technology console, which gives immediate feedback during the workout session. The console will indicate the calories burned, time and speed, and heart rate. The equipment also provides 20 levels of resistance that changes the workout intensity.

This implies that the higher the pedal resistance, the more challenging the workout will turn out. When using the AMT, your feet will not leave the pedals. This helps in the reduction of joints and muscle impact.

The AMT equipment is best suited for individuals with knee and other medical issues which make high-impact exercising difficult or risky. It also helps in eliminating boredom by providing numerous options that you can switch immediately.

Hidden Benefits of Exercising

Most people go to the gym for various reasons such as shedding weight, looking better or toning muscles, among other reasons. However, numerous scientific research studies have revealed many other benefits of working out. Most of these are not necessarily physically visible.

Below are some of the ways exercising can benefit, your soul, body, and mind:

Boosting Immunity

It is proven that regularly exercising reduces the risk for certain serious health conditions such as diabetes, heart diseases, and certain types of cancer. Exercising also helps reduce the chances of developing common illnesses such as colds and flu.

Brings Better Sleep

Sleep problems are prevalent around the world and can have devastating effects on health. People who go to the gym regularly report sleeping better than previously. Exercising helps strengthen the circadian rhythms and thus improves focus during the day and promoting better quality sleep.

Boosting Happiness Levels

Humans are always looking for ways to be happy, whether fully conscious or not. Exercise is one of the most obvious steps to achieve happiness.

According to a Penn State University research study, people who exercised regularly had more pleasant feelings compared to those who did not. The research shows that these individuals were happier when they were more physically active.

Improves Brain Power

Exercise is linked to better memory and quicker learning. It is also proven that exercise is one of the best ways to prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. Although how exercise alters the structure and function of the brain, this is an area of active research.  

It is, however, known that exercising helps increase the flow of blood to the brain and thus feeding the new brain cells. The Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor helps trigger the growth of new neurons helping in the repair and protecting brain cells from degenerating.

Another bonus point is that exercise reduces aging and lengthens the lifespan by over five years. Exercising helps in slowing the aging process at the cellular level.

With all these benefits, Metairie Precor fitness equipment for exercising at home is always a good choice. Contact Fitness Expo Stores to learn more.
