The #1 fear people have when buying a treadmill is that they won’t use it. (That’s the #1 fear when buying any piece of exercise equipment). They know that a treadmill can help them lose weight, get fit, burn extra calories and reach their fitness goals. But that’s only if you use it. A treadmill is a large investment to make and you want to be sure that it is the right piece of exercise equipment for your needs. How do you know if a treadmill is the best piece of exercise equipment for you? How do you know if it’s suitable for the kind of exercise that fits your lifestyle?
When I say “cardio workout” you probably have an image of someone running on a treadmill, or some other piece of gym equipment like an elliptical machine, stair climber, rowing machine and the like. Each of these types of workouts will produce a cardiovascular benefit. But most people are doing these workouts because they think it will help them burn calories and lose weight. The cardiovascular benefit just happens to be a nice bonus on the side. Lets face it you wouldn’t workout if it actually made you look worse! |
