Home Exercise Equipment: to Schwinn or not to Schwinn?

It seems that people the world over are looking to fight the battle of the bulge. However, like that famous American politician Calvin Coolidge, they do not to run. In fact, many of them do not even walk with any regularity.

Maybe they know they would irritate their knee, or their back, by pounding on the hard pavement. Or, maybe there simply are no sidewalks where they live to even ride a bike. By the way, isn’t it amazing how in the United States so many neighborhoods have no sidewalks?

Modern ingenuity has the answer. Buy yourself exercise equipment that is designed for home use! I happen to be partial to exercise bikes like the Schwinn. Naturally exercise equipment, no matter how good, can do nothing for you if you do not use it. However, place a well-motivated individual on well-constructed exercise equipment designed for aerobic conditioning, as well as toning, (like Schwinn Exercise Bike) and results will be seen. The fat will burn and muscles will tone when you actually use it for 20 to 30 minutes a day for at least four days a week.

Justin Enke personally likes running outdoors. But as the manager of a Houston Health Club he appreciates the advantages many of his customers find in getting their aerobic conditioning with home exercise equipment. "There are many reasons for working out at home, particularly in this city," he said. "Safety, traffic, and the fact that you save time traveling, changing, waiting for a machine etc--for these and other reasons, many people are more comfortable working out at home for those exercises where a spotter is not needed."

One of my personal favorites is the
Schwinn Evolution Indoor Cycling Bike
. It looks amazing and is just a great piece of home exercise equipment. It is built solid and is backed by the name Schwinn.

Of course, other types of exercise equipment, such as Stairmaster fitness machines and
Bowflex
machines are also very popular and effective. "The Stairmaster is a very popular machine. You could even call it phenomenal...the greatest appeal that it has for women is that it really works the hips, thighs and calves..." Health clubs have heavy-duty versions of such machines, but lightweight models for home use are readily available.

So, what’s the bottom line for all of you all over the world that want to lose your waistline? Well, like a politician, you can’t win if you don’t run. Except in this case we are trying to lose. Get started with some type of home piece of exercise equipment. Just use it! You will see results and you will be happy with those results when you see yourself looking and felling better.

By: Marcus Martinez | 02/07/2009
The Pistol Grip, or inverted, kettlebell position can add a crucial component to your kettlebell training.
