Treadmill
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial
cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and
fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking
has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory
system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories.
Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all
weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.
From beginners just
starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to
maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and
staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a
treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and
complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching
television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much
easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill
walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms
that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact
walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.
While many different types,
styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer
unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an
electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time,
incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor
the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex
features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic
exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial
cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the
rain.

wind resistance that folds for home storage! Built for the long
haul! The Stamina ATS Air Rowing Machine is designed with an
oversized chrome seat rail and metal pull-chain for extra strength

activities for cardiovascular fitness and strength... a total body
workout that is efficient, effective, low-impact and utilizes all
major muscle groups including the back, legs, arms, abdominals and

Schwinn
113 Upright Exercise Bike
The only difference between the Schwinn 113 and 112 model is the 113
has a fan. The fan works fair/poor but this is not why one purchases
the bike anyway. The best feature is the whisper quiet sound it
makes. Watching t.v. while riding makes the time go by faster. I
live on a 2nd story Co-op and there is no vibration to annoy anyone.
Great value for the price. Gym quality bikes are 4-5 times the
price. Assembly took about an hour and is simple. The box upon
arrival looked like a scud missile hit it but all pieces inside were
in good shape. The bike can withstand alot of weight being that I'm
230 lbs. Bike seat adjusts up and down and forward to back for
different size people. Seat is as comfortable as gym quality bikes.
Electronic display MUST be plugged in to operate and gives all the
readouts you need. The heart rate monitor on the handlebars is quite
accurate and beeps after your heart rate has peaked. The quick start
feature is great and the levels of resistance will challenge all.
Another plus is the bike does not rock back and forth from it being
unlevel like the gym bikes do. The bike can be adjusted to level if
necessary. Excellent bike at a great price.

Schwinn 213 Recumbent
Exercise Bike
The bike offers a variety
of program options, and the profile programs that are stored are
really nice. The only thing I don't like about the programming is
that you can increase the resistance level as you are working out
but not the time. It would be nice if you could increase the time
just in case you want to keep going and want to track your progress
within the same workout. If you run out of time, you have to start
the program all over again. Not a big deal but it would be a nice
feature. The bike has a fan on it but it sits up kinda high and
doesn't really benefit me, even with the adjustable louver, since
I'm not that tall.
I have found the bike to be really comfortable and have no problem
just sitting there riding and watching TV or reading. The adjustable
seat is padded and really comfortable, unlike the bikes of the past
where you had to put a folded towel on the seat for more cushioning!
If you are comfortable, you probably won't dread using the bike and
will easily incorporate it into your daily routine. If you are
looking for a way to exercise at home, I recommend this bike. I
looked at the 212 model but ordered this one since it was in stock
at the time. I can't tell the difference between this one and the
212 other than the price and this one, according to the product
description is a few pounds lighter.

Neoprene Dumbbells -
32 Lb Set
I purchased my Cap Barbell
neoprene dumbbell 3#/5#/8# set from another online fitness store
about 6 months ago. This set is a great starter set for toning and
weight training at home.
These are good quality dumbbells (comparable to Troy brand) and are
colored red, aqua and purple. Neoprene dumbbells are less damaging
on flooring, don't smell bad, and (because of their hex shape) don't
roll away. They are also easier to grip and more gentle on your
hands (especially if you prefer to weight train without gloves).
I use these dumbbells almost daily and really like them.

Schwinn 431 Elliptical Trainer
Elliptical trainers provide an
effective cardiovascular workout that combines upper and lower body
flexibility and coordination into one impact-free motion. By
emulating the natural motion of your foot while supporting your heel
throughout the stride, elliptical trainers are much easier on your
knees and joints. In addition to feeling more natural while working
out, regular use on ellipticals will increase heart and lung
capacity while improving your health and burning calories.
The Schwinn 431
accommodates a wide variety of users, with a full-sized 18-inch
stride length and bi-directional pedaling action that lets the user
pedal forward or backward depending on the targeted muscle groups.
Users will also appreciate the variety of workout programs,
including three heart-rate controlled programs, a calorie goal
program, a time trial, a fitness test, 10 profile programs, two
custom programs, and a manual option. And thanks to the Eddy Current
magnetic brake resistance system, the Schwinn 431 is smooth and
quiet. Other details include an backlit LCD display with such
feedback programs as Recovery Mode, Results Mode, and BMI; hand-grip
heart rate monitors; a water bottle holder; and bottom wheels for
easy transport. The Schwinn 431 measures 59 by 26 by 68 inches (L x
W x H), weighs 165 pounds, and carries the following warranties: 15
years on the frame, two years on the parts, one year on the
electronics, and 3 months on the labor.
