Everyone will have different goals in their exercise program, but depending on what your specific goals are, loose weight,  gain strength, heart health, or flexibility, cardio, strength training and flexibility exercises should all be represented in your program.

When doing my cardio part of my exercises, working out on my Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Exercise Bike is 60 minutes I look forward to. After my workout I actually feel pumped up as opposed to feeling tired from working out, and that’s a great way to start the day out since I do my cardio workout in the morning.

When Trying to lose fat most people will associate cardio exercise for the best way to burn fat and lose weight, but it’s not the only way. By working on a strength training program you will be able to preserve the muscle you have as well as increase your muscle mass, and the more muscle you have, the more calories you’ll burn all day long. A pound of muscle can burn anywhere from 10-20 calories a day while a pound of fat burns only 2-5 calories a day, because muscle is more active than fat. Another fact is, muscle is more dense than fat and takes up less space, and this means that when you lose fat and gain muscle, you will look slimmer and trimmer.

The thought of becoming to muscular scares a lot of women away from strength training, but if you look at all the benefits it will put to rest all those fears. Strength training builds lean muscle tissue, it strengthens muscles, bones and connective tissue, it keeps your body strong and injury- free for  your cardio workouts and it raises metabolism.

After learning how to use the Bosu Balance Trainer here are are a few more beginner exercises. To start, stand in front of the Balance trainer and place the right heel on the dome, then return to start and repeat with the left foot, moving as quickly as you can and allowing the heel to bounce off the dome. You can make it harder by adding a jump and switch the feet in the air.

Next from this exercise, step the right foot on top of the dome, push back and repeat with the left foot moving as quickly as you can. You can make it more difficult by bending into a lunge, or you can even add a hop as you push off the dome. Both exercise can be repeated for about 30-60 seconds, and you will get a good cardio workout with combining these with other exercises.

Fat burning occurs when the body burns a mix of carbohydrates, as glucose, and fat for fuel. Different variables on the amount of burning fat depend on your physical activity and also what you have recently eaten. What then occurs is; when you use more energy than you take in from food and drink, the body burns stored fat and carbohydrates, and then protein, to fuel your everyday activities even if you are not exercising. Genetics also plays a part in the fat burning process, because the you way eat and exercise your body may decide to get conservative and drop your metabolic rate to try to hold onto body weight and this can be different for all of us.

It has been argued that the body burns a greater percentage of fat at a slow pace, after at least 90 minutes of exercise, but I believe you still burn a higher percentage of fat at a much faster speeds or intensity. There are many ways to accomplish fat burning including strength training, and interval aerobic training which we will get into in future articles. The Sole TT8 Treadmill for its performance and value is a great way to start burning the fat away, because whether you want a low intensity workout, or a high intensity one, this machine will definitely provide you with whatever you choose.

The medical community has prescribed at least half an hour of exercise at least four days a week.  This is for people who have a mostly sedentary lifestyle, the television/computer addict that is the majority of people in the United States.  Once that level is attained, however, it is desirable that you increase the amount of physical work even more so that you can reach your peak optimal level.  That body that you so crave for yourself is only a few steps away, well maybe a few thousand, but you can reach it, one foot in front of the other.  Fitness equipment at home gives you the ability to exercise without spending lots of time preparing to go out to a gym.  It is the best way to burn calories for people on the go.

When I do a cardio workout on my Boflex Treadmill I’m actually doing an aerobic exercise. Cardio has been described as any exercise at an intensity at which oxygen can be sustainably supplied to large muscle groups over time and which places constant demands on the heart and lung system, the cardiorespiratory system.

The latest fitness guidelines say we should exercise at least an hour a day and every other day my treadmill is my choice to fulfill that requirement. Some of the benefits you receive are well worth it such as: burn calories and loose weight, increase lung capacity, make heart stronger, reduces stress and the chance of a heart attack, plus it will help you sleep better.
