When you build your muscles, you
increase your metabolism and you burn fatter. So no matter how young, old, fat.
Skinny, tall, short or weak you are, resistance training is critical!
There are different types of physical
activities where you can engage yourself according to your interest and comfort
zone.
1.
Aerobics is a
form of stretching and strength training routines with the goal
of improving fitness. When you do aerobics for 15 minutes you will burn 165
calories and in an hour (60 mints) you burn 660 calories.
2. Regular walking has been shown to
reduce the risk of chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes,
asthma, and stroke. Brisk walking for 15minutes will help you burn 65 calories
and in 60 minutes 275 calories. Running on the empty ground over a flat surface
in moderate speed will help you burn 730 calories in an hour.
3. Yoga is
a physical, mental, and spiritual practice where it improves your body's
flexibility too. When you do yoga for 30 minutes you will be able to burn 120
calories.
4. Circuit Training is an often overlooked
method for achieving one's fitness and body composition goals. When you do
circuit training with weights for 15 minutes you burn 185 calories and in an
hour you burn 580 calories.
An Elliptical Trainer or cross-trainer is a
stationary exercise machine used to simulate stair climbing, walking, or
running without causing excessive pressure to the joints, hence decreasing the
risk of impact injuries. With elliptical trainers, you burn more calories with the
same effort, or burn at your current level with less effort.
Studies have shown that you can work harder and expend more
energy on an elliptical machine (especially those with arm poles) without
feeling tired – you actually feel like you are doing less. You burn more
calories but you think you have done less work –excellent!
Abs, butt and legs – those are the areas that work for you
when you go for cardio on traditional treadmills, right? On elliptical
trainers, you would also get your upper body into direct action. This happens
through inclusion of movable handlebars that work in tandem with the elliptical
motion of your legs.
There’s more. Use the “Reverse Motion” feature to work out a
completely different area of leg muscles while gliding in reverse – something
you’d never try on a treadmill.
The result is a more complete workout. You not only tone your
arms and work you shoulder and back muscles, you also increase the
cardiovascular workout in a set amount of time.
Greater Safety and Comfort
It helps when you
are better matched with your partner, right? What applies in life also works
while exercising.
Traditional
equipment are all built to great safety and design standards, but they move at
their own speed, and you need to adjust when getting on or off if you want to
avoid nasty injuries from falls. You need to walk or run at the machine’s pace,
and your stop depends on the machine.
Elliptical Trainer designed so that they never operate without you actually providing
the power – when you stop, the machine stops, so you won’t get caught on the
foot.
When
you exercise in Elliptical Cross Trainer you can
easily burn 235 calories in 15 minutes, 548 calories in 30 mints and 905 calories
in 60 minutes.
