Choosing the Right Machine

Following are some of the machines you’re likely to use on which you can expect from.

1. Treadmill

One can supposed to burn over 100 calories per mile, walking briskly. Treadmills burn the most calories of any of the cardiovascular machines available at most gyms. In addition, treadmills can be adapted to many different fitness levels by increasing the speed from walking to running or by adjusting the incline.

Experts advice using a high density Exercise Equipment Mat under the treadmill to protect both you and your floor.

2. Elliptical Machines and Stair Steppers

Sometimes walking may be too much for those overweight or those who has joint pain. To solve this problem, an Elliptical Machine or Stair Stepers would be a propper choice. Both Elliptical Machines and Stair Steppers pack a little less punch on the joints, and either can be a good alternative to the treadmill.

Because you use them in a standing position, you’re using lots of muscle mass, so the calorie burn rate is still pretty high.

Elliptical machines with arm components can further increase the numbers of calories you burn, says Stamford. But if you’re a beginner, he doesn’t recommend using your arms at first.

Also using a durable anti-slip Elliptical Mat when exercising can be of further help.

3. Stationary Bikes

Stationary bike or Exercise Bike offers the workout with the least impact on the joints. People with knee pain are often steered toward these bikes, since the impact of body weight is not a concern as it is on a treadmill, elliptical trainer, or stair stepper. But do make sure the bike is adjusted to fit your body in order to avoid knee strain.

In addition, a water-proof high density PVC Indoor Bike Training Mat is nessary when exercising.
