Treadmill Cardio Exercise Benefits

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Naomi Woods</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>It is sad that many people find themselves overweight and out of shape. Modern lifestyles factors, which include junk food diets, sedentary office work environments and the various media outlets, have caused a significant amount to disregard or forget the effect these have on their health. Daily cardio or muscle building can get you into condition by helping you drop a few pounds, firm up your muscles, boosting your stamina and strengthening your body against injuries. Consider a home fitness treadmill trainer. This machine can help you keep fit by making it easy and convenient for you to exercise whenever you have the time.<br /> <br /> Why You Should Exercise on a Treadmill<br /> <br /> Regular use of a treadmill trainer, whether it be for walking or for running, can condition and shape up your body. Such cardio-intensive exercise helps you burn more calories than a cycling machine or most other gym workouts. You can find a variety of standard workout applications, created by certified fitness trainers, that will help you achieve different fitness goals. Treadmills are great fitness machines because so many different people can use them. Athletes use them to train on, casual users use them to stay fit, and obese people use them to lose weight.<br /> <br /> Common Treadmill Features<br /> <br /> The most common feature found on treadmills is the ability to set workout speeds. Many treadmills also come with incline adjustments, which raise the tread belt to varying height levels. The benefit of these basic treadmill machine features is that they allow you to mix up your workouts so that they're always interesting and so that you'll never get bored of exercising.<br /> <br /> Modern treadmills have many inbuilt workout programs. You'll find a multitude of fitness programs that are created by pro certified fitness trainers. Choose one and follow the instructions for a helpful guided workout session. As you use the treadmill machine, the speed and incline will automatically change at regular intervals. This can be a slow increase or in a pre-determined mixed pattern.<br /> <br /> Heart rate monitors are found on many treadmills. They can be used in conjunction with a treadmill trainer program that exercises the heart. This monitor may need to be attached to your body or gripped in your hand. Commercial-grade treadmills, such as those found in gyms, health clubs, universities and luxury hotels, come with chest-strap heart rate monitors, which better keep an eye on your heart rate. Various monitors found on a treadmill machine, including the heart rate monitor, allow you to track your workout intensity and cardiovascular fitness levels.<br /> <br /> Something. The capability to remember customized workouts is most helpful when there are multiple users of the treadmill machine. A handful of treadmills out on the market can use the onboard memory to bookmark workout history, making it easy to see the fitness progress made and to target new fitness goals.<br /> <br /> A growing number of treadmills today come equipped with iFit Live technology. This feature lets you bring up maps that mimic real life running trails, giving you a workout experience that mimics that which you'd find outside. You can use iFit Live technology to prepare for a marathon being held in another city or country. Motivate yourself by seeing how you stack up on select race courses with iFit Compete Live. Any treadmill that has Internet connectivity and is compatible with the iFit Live technology can run this multipurpose feature. Other premium features available on premium treadmill machine models include features such as color touch displays or television functionalities.<br /> <br /> Components of a Treadmill<br /> <br /> The two most visible elements found on a treadmill machine are the tread belt and the motor. The tread belt is placed over rollers and is driven by the motor as you walk, jog and run on top. A running deck supports the weight exerted on the tread belt, as the rollers move the conveyor belt. Certain treadmills have running decks that can be elevated, providing different inclines to work out on. Increasing the incline levels of the treadmill trainer deck can give you more challenging aerobic workouts.<br /> <br /> These days, you'll find that most decks rest on elements that absorb the recurrent impact incurred on the machine. The most widely used damping component is a cushioning system, which in certain cases can be adjusted with varying tension levels. The belt, motor, rollers, running deck, and cushioning system all play a role in providing you with distinct workout experiences on a treadmill machine.<br /> <br /> Treadmill structures are built foldable or non-foldable. Systems with foldable frames are ideal where space is scarce. Lift up the deck of a treadmill which has a foldable frame and you may be able to reclaim some space. Foldable treadmills usually are more expensive than non-foldable ones. You'll find that non-foldable treadmills are more prevalent as they are less costly and more heavy duty in construction.<br /> <br /> Treadmill Highlight Considerations<br /> <br /> It's important to look at a treadmill's feature set, but take note to the treadmill's design and intended user type. There are treadmills that are designed just for walking and jogging and there are treadmills which are designed specifically for runners. Your body weight could affect the performance of a treadmill machine. There are treadmills with more robust motors to accommodate for these type of users. Taller users need a treadmill machine with a longer tread belt that can easily accommodate their long strides. Recurrent use of a treadmill trainer should warrant a more powerful motor and a commercial-grade frame. Any workout product you get is an investment into your health. Take some time to do your research and read some <a href="http://workoutwarriors.webs.com/">fitness treadmill reviews</a> and see what people are talking about.<br /> <br /> Last Words<br /> <br /> Health and fitness are issues that you need to take seriously. Adding a treadmill system to your home gym can help you better your body and well-being. Take some time to think about what your health and fitness needs are. Check the measurements of the treadmill machine and be certain that it's going to fit into the spot that you want to place it at. Think about all these things while at the same time keeping note of whether or not various machines fall in your budget.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'><a href="http://fitnesswarrior.moonfruit.com/">Treadmill review sites</a> are excellent places to gather product specs. Visit a few and see what people are sharing and what systems are popular.</div><br /> </div><br />

Importance Of Regular Exercise

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By William Cliff</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>It is unfortunate that many people find themselves overweight and out of shape. Modern lifestyles factors, which include processed foods diets, inactive office work environments and the various media outlets, have caused a good portion to ignore or forget the effect these have on their health. Day-to-day cardio exercise or muscle building will get you into shape by helping you lose a few pounds, firm up your muscles, increasing your stamina and strengthening your body against injuries. Consider a home fitness treadmill machine. This machine can help you keep fit by making it easy and convenient for you to exercise whenever you have the time.<br /> <br /> Merits of Treadmills<br /> <br /> Treadmills are used to walk, jog and run on. Some people use them to condition their bodies, such as to lose weight. Others use them to train on, most often for races and marathons. Treadmills offer more opportunities for engaging in intensive cardio workouts than other gym fitness units. The majority of today's treadmills come with workout apps that can help you lose pounds, build fitness and endurance, and tone up. Many people find that the treadmill is the best fitness machine to exercise on because it accommodates to so many different fitness needs and because it's so easy to use.<br /> <br /> Common Treadmill Features<br /> <br /> Speed adjustment is a basic and essential feature on treadmills. Incline adjustment functionality is another commonly found feature in treadmills, and it allows you to lift the tread belt to various heights. These treadmill trainer features also make workouts interesting and motivate you to continue exercising daily.<br /> <br /> Today's treadmills come outfitted with many prebuilt workout apps. You'll find a wide range of fitness programs that are developed by expert certified fitness trainers. Choose one and go along with the commands for a helpful guided workout session. The speed and the incline of these set workout programs change automatically, so you don't have to interrupt your workout to push any buttons. This can be a steady increase or in a pre-determined mixed pattern.<br /> <br /> Some treadmill machine programs work to exercise your heart. A heart rate sensor assists in these types of workouts. are generally. The more premium treadmill machines offer a chest-strap heart rate monitor which can more precisely monitor your heart rate and your calories burned. In other words, it can monitor your cardiovascular fitness level and the intensity of your workout.<br /> <br /> designed with. This is particularly useful when you share the treadmill trainer with others. Built-in memory can also be used to save workout history. This data can be referenced to help assess fitness progress and motivate to new fitness objectives.<br /> <br /> Trendy among treadmill machine models today is a feature called iFit Live capability. This technology connects online and lets you load up maps and trails to workout on. If you were signed up for a race, you could download and install a map of the course and train on it. Compare yourself with others competing through a specific course with iFit Compete Live. The iFit Live technology necessitates a treadmill machine to have Internet connectivity. It also needs the treadmill machine to be iFit Live capable.. Enhanced treadmills also have full-color LCD touch screens and a music player to keep your rhythm going when you exercise.<br /> <br /> Treadmill Components<br /> <br /> A treadmill trainer consists of a wide conveyor belt controlled by an electric motor or flywheel of varying power. This belt moves backwards over rollers, so you have to move forward while adapting your walk, jog or run to match the speed of the belt and avoid falling off. A running deck props up weight exerted on the tread belt, as the rollers move the conveyor belt. You can raise or lower the deck to the desired incline angle to emulate an uphill climb or downward slope outdoors. Bump up the incline levels of the running deck and you'll get a better cardio workout.<br /> <br /> These days, you'll find that most decks sit on elements that absorb the regular impact sustained on the product. The most frequently used damping component is a cushioning system, which in some cases can be adjusted with varying tension levels. The components just described all work in conjunction in providing you with varying workout experiences.<br /> <br /> One additional thing to note about a treadmill's design: some have foldable decks and others have non-foldable decks. The foldable form be more effective for home gyms where space is fixed. What happens is you lift the deck up into a vertical position. Foldable treadmills usually are more expensive than non-foldable ones. Most businesses, such as gyms, hotels, and health clubs use non-foldable treadmill machine platforms.<br /> <br /> Treadmill Highlight Considerations<br /> <br /> There are lots of treadmills out there. Many emphasize different feature sets. When shopping for a treadmill you should also contemplate its target user type. A treadmill machine designed only for walking will cost less than a jogger's treadmill; a running treadmill will be the most expensive. Your body weight could affect the performance of a treadmill trainer. There are treadmills with more robust motors to allow for for these type of users. The treadmills with long belts and decks are great for tall people because they accommodate their longer strides. Consider a commercial-grade fitness treadmill trainer. These will last you for the long haul. For some, these <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Working-Out-At-Home:-Running-Treadmills-and-Elliptical-Trainers&id=7918622">fitness units</a> are worth the investment, and they're willing to pay more for the better designs.<br /> <br /> Wrap Up<br /> <br /> The many health and fitness advantages of a treadmill trainer make it an essential unit for your home gym. Before rushing to make a purchase, consider your health, fitness and durability needs, and the features that you will use often. Be sure you take accurate measurements of the location of where you want the treadmill to go to ensure that it'll fit. Take into consideration all these things while at the same time keeping note of whether various machines fall in your budget.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'><a href="http://goarticles.com/article/Benefits-of-Training-on-Treadmills-and-Ellipticals/7801108/">Fitness websites</a> are excellent resources to accumulate information.

What's more, in-car controls will make for safer driving for many iOS users too.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The mobile version of Safari has also been enhanced and iCloud keychain tweaks will ensure greater security, especially should the worst happen and your iOS-based device fall into the wrong hands.</div><span style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span><br /><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iOS devices are used by many business users due to the availability of apps, security and ease of use. We’ve picked the seven core features we wanted to  see Apple introduce in iOS 7. How well did we predict the future?</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">7. Refreshed interface/customisable skins</strong> The iOS interface has been the same since day one and is due an upgrade. While we don’t think Apple will carry out a complete overhaul of the interface, refreshed icons and new ways of navigating could be more likely.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">We’d also like to see Apple offering users different themes that can be applied without having to go to the App Store, so users can customise their handsets.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">6. Widgets/Interactive icons</strong> Apple has been an opponent of widgets, claiming they are not necessary when you have apps.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The firm is unlikely to start rolling them out. Perhaps, it is more realistic that it will introduce interactive icons – where a long press on will bring up a preview of the app so you can quickly glance at the latest email, for example.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5. Quick settings in the notifications menu</strong> One thing which is far superior in Android is the notifications menu. Apple has already “borrowed” the drop down list to show emails, texts and other notifications, and it would be a good idea to add a quick settings portion to this.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This would prevent users from having to go into the “Settings” menu to execute simple commands such as turning on/off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS connections.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Improved multitasking</strong> iOS doesn’t quite have full blown multitasking, which is also available in Android. Apple has stuck with “app switching”, which allows users to cycle between open apps after double tapping the home button.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This isn’t that intuitive and we’d like to see Apple offering up full app previews. We’d also like the ability to run two apps side-by-side on devices such as the iPad. Being able to browse the internet and read email, for example, would be an invaluable feature.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3. Actionable notifications</strong> Instead of having to open up full applications when you receive a notification such as a text message, it would be great to be able to tap a “reply”, quickly fire off a response and get back to what you were doing. Similarly it would be good to have an “accept” button in the notification.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2. Battery saver mode</strong> The battery life on the iPad has generally been strong, but the iPhone has been plagued with issues.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A battery saver mode that automatically kicks in when the level hits the 20 per cent mark would be ideal. Better yet, would be a system that allows users to optimise performance when the battery is low.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1. Enhanced keyboard</strong> The keyboard has long been the worst feature of iOS devices. It’s too basic, and simple tasks such as changing the position of the cursor or copying and pasting can cause frustration.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">There are many concept videos out there, but it’s these additions to the iOS keyboard, from Daniel Hooper, which we would like to see most:</div><span style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RGQTaHGQ04Q?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">(This article was originally published on 26/04/13 and updated on 09/06/13 as Apple's developer conference neared and then again on 10/06/13 following the WWDC keynote. It was updated again on 01/07/13 and 22/07/13 to include further details about the release date of iOS 7, the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 ( and then again on 10/09/13 as Apple's iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s launch event confirmed release and other iOS 7 details).</span><span style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></div><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-4973891917352186"; /* 9/18 */ google_ad_slot = "1953341717"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--></script><script src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div></div>
