The Elliptical Fitness Machine Advantage

!9#: The Elliptical Fitness Machine Advantage

The elliptical fitness machine has competed with the other top selling at home fitness machines in sales volume since it's invention, and has recently began to overtake them. In my opinion, there are two main advantages an elliptical fitness machine has over the others which makes this the case.

First, it offers it's users a full body workout. Because of the way an elliptical is used, the user must use both his or her lower body and upper body at the same time. This provides the body with several distinct benefits that allows you to get the most out of a workout. First, it builds and tones the muscles in your legs, arms, chest, abdomen, and butt. Secondly, it burns a lot more calories than just using the upper body or lower body individually would. You can burn over twice the amount of calories from a twenty minute workout on an elliptical, than you could on other types of machines.

The second major advantage is the design and style of the machine. In short and simply put, working out on an elliptical trainer is fun. It takes a bit of coordination and athletic ability to use one properly. When you get it going correctly, it's a lot of fun. Because working out on one is fun, it's a lot easier to actually get on the thing and use it. You no longer dread your workout.

It's true that in the at home fitness equipment industry, ellipticals are considered at the higher end of the price scale. However, it is also true that you get what you pay for.

DKN Pro Evolve Vibration Trainer Review

!9#: DKN Pro Evolve Vibration Trainer Review

The Pro Evolve machine has been around for a while, therefore is well tried and tested. It does everything is says 'on the tin'. It has an averaged-sized platform; a smooth running motor, very user-friendly functionality and it is in the medium/ lower price range.

As with most DKN vibration plates it has 4 different pre set programmes for working Upper body, Lower Body, Abdominal muscles or a Total Body workout. Each programme feature 16 different positions or exercises that will also be graphically displayed on the console which is a very interesting and useful feature especially for the not so highly experienced user.

The vibration frequency spans from 20Hz to 50 Hz and can be set in 5HZ increments. You can also manually control the length of time of your different workouts starting from 1min right up to 10 min with 30 sec rest intervals. The two main elements missing, hence the price, are really that you can not alter the vibration intensity from high to low and there is also no start/ stop button on the lower part of the column, making it slightly more awkward to prepare in position for seated exercises for example.

Conclusion:
There is very little reason for me not to recommend the DKN Pro Evolve to the general exerciser. Since I witness on a daily basis how different users can initially struggle with the right execution of any exercise on the Vibration Trainer I am a great fan of the pre set programmes that will also be displayed on the main screen.

I do think that this machine lends itself well to the home users who is looking to tone up, loose weight and add variety to his/her training programme. However the missing high/ low setting, the max Hz frequency being 50 Hz and the general feel of the running machine lead me to suggest that this model is not ideal for the semi -professional sportsperson.

Is the Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp Exercise Bike Better?

!9#: Is the Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp Exercise Bike Better?

The Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp Exercise Bike is the update of the classic dual action exercise bike. Anything can be improved, and the standard model Airdyne is no exception. To show they have good sense,the Schwinn people didn't try to replace the original Airdyne. They just introduced this model as an added model. Good move. Here's how the Evo Comp does it better...

It's the breeze... and the noise... See, the Airdyne models use the resistance from turning a fan to create the load you work against. Turning fans make wind and noise. In this case, lots of wind and lots of noise.

What the Evo has is a different fan and a different drive system. That fan is smaller and the drive is a belt not a chain. Plus, that makes for a physically smaller machine, easier to move and store.

What you get is a quieter bike with less wind noise and less drive noise too. That's a good deal. Plus you get less breeze on you too. Now a breeze is not all bad, but the old Airdyne can generate gale force winds. That's not good.

So, with the newer Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp Exercise Bike, you get the same type rugged design as the older model. But, you get that same performance with less noise and less wind blowing at you too. This is worth a look if you're in the market for a rugged exercise bike that will probably work for as long as you want to pedal an exercise bike.
