18 Name That Equipment!
I like things easy. And easy means a convenient way to stay fit but doesn't take too much time out of my day. Easy solution? A home gym. What's not to love — all the equipment you need to stay fit, no gym membership required. It's hard, however, to keep a home gym as equipment-ready as your neighborhood gym if you don't have the space (or the money). Luckily, just a few basics are all you Read more
Spring may be not so far away, but many of you may be stuck indoors for weeks to come before it's warm (or safe) enough to bring your workout outside. So many times, the gym comes to the living room instead with just a few key pieces of equipment that you find yourself using over and over during the dreary Winter months for your at-home workout. No matter what level of fitness you are, chances Read more
The end of the year is a good time to reevaluate and renegotiate your gym membership to ensure you are getting what you need at the best rate. If you workout at the gym regularly, it's crucial you are comfortable, and it is meeting your needs, otherwise you'll have just another excuse not to show up and sweat it out. How does your gym stack up? What's Your Gym's Biggest Read more
Are you a one-track kind of gal when you head to the gym? As soon as they swipe their card, many of my friends head straight for the treadmill or the elliptical machines. I like to mix it up and do a stint on both with a little mat time on the side.Then there are folks like my husband who go for the weights and take to the streets for their cardio routine. While the stationary bicycles and Read more
Gym rats gather 'round. If you are a dedicated member at your local sweat stop, you should be able to recognize these machines with no trouble at all. Come take this quiz and see if you know the monikers for these sweat-inducing apparatuses. Question 1 of 5What is this cardio machine called? Treadmill Stairmaster Arc Trainer Read more
If you're unfamiliar with Kranking, you're not alone. A Krankcycle resembles a bike, but instead of peddling with your legs, you peddle with your arms. This piece of equipment is perfect for those with knee, ankle, or foot injuries, but when you watch someone krank, it doesn't seem like it's the most effective cardio workout. A recent study from ACE (American Council on Exercise) studied 20 Read more
The gym can get painfully boring when you constantly follow the same routine each day. FitSugar reader plumeria9 has some great advice though. She says, "I try to use one new piece of equipment a week so I don't get stuck in a rut." There's a huge variety of cardio machines and weight lifting equipment, so every week, do something new. Once you've tried everything out at least once, you'll feel Read more
If you're into walking or running, the Nike + iPod Sports Kit is a must. The sensor fits in your shoe and the receiver clicks into your iPod Nano. It keeps track of your distance, speed, and calories burned and stores all your data online with a quick synch. Now I'm happy to announce that Nike and Apple are teaming up with health clubs and fitness equipment brands like Life Fitness, Precor, Star Read more
Working out at a gym can be a little intimidating with so many different types of equipment to choose from, ranging from the cardio craziness of the StepMill to the medieval-looking cable pulley machine. One would be hard pressed to be an expert on using them all. So don't feel like you need to be! You can always ask for some help. It just doesn't pay to be shy. If you are interested in trying a Read more
I love when my gym gets a new cardio machine because that means more ways to change up my workout and combat the looming boredom. The latest addition to my gym to keep an eye out for is the Precor AMT. The AMT does more than add variety to your workouts, it customizes movement by adapting to your motion, which means you can completely change the motion and paths of your steps without so much as Read more
