The Iron Gym

The iron gym is the perfect choice for people looking to put in least amount of exercise with maximum significant results. Its simple use makes it highly attractive to just about anyone.

The equipment with its sleek designing achieved with a simple steel bar, provides a variety of upper body exercises & because of its small size it can easily fit in a space hardly 32 inches wide. It can be put on the floor to perform pushups and situps. It especially targets the upper body and abdominal muscles and can be used to strenthen back muscles, whih is a common complaint of many adults. There is also an instrutional manual to follow in case one would want to do the recommended exercise routines. It can widen your exercise routine by providing the opportunity to perform a variety of exercises. The bar can be gripped at three different levels neutral, wide and narrow.

The customers are mainly impressed by the iron gym’s simple and easy use, maximum output, easy assembling and the ability to take it anywhere. It’s pricing at a decent $29.99 further adds to its positive points. On the first impression it may appear to be quiet weak in structure but it can easily support weights up to 300 pounds. When combined with other workout routines like jogging or aerobics the iron gym promises to deliver its best.

Its only flaw so far is that although shown to be perfect for triceps dips, it doesn’t provide enough room for triceps dips.

The Lifespan RW1000

This example of the Lifespan RW1000 Rower uses the eddy current flywheel to provide a total body workout for the fitness buff. As the rower finishes the rowing move the flywheel works up resistance, so the faster you row the higher the resistance becomes. This particular model gives you the freedom to manually adjust the resistance level too. There are five resistance settings. There is a five year warranty on the frame, and two years for the parts. It also folds for easy storage giving the user freedom to store the rower after the rowing session is over.

The rowing strap is never loose because of it being tight and without any laxness. So it gives you full workout with your forward and back strokes. The RW1000 also comes with an LCD screen which shows calories burnt, distance rowed, strokes per minute for the users who are more goal oriented and like to have figures to show their progress. The rower is a good cardiovascular exercise too. Users have shown increased flexibility in their joints after working out on the RW1000. But over usage can lead to pain in the major muscles of the body. So people who are looking to make an addition to their regular exercise routine should go for this piece of equipment.

The EL 1000 Natural FIT Elliptical Trainer

The EL 1000 Natural FIT Elliptical Trainer gives the user the benefit of walking and jogging without having to run on the treadmill which for some users tends to be a painful experience because of the impact of the feet on the hard treadmill. This version boasts a 18 inch stride length and handle allow the upper body to get a workout too. This version features a LCD which shows the distance travelled, calories burnt, speed and resistance level. There are some preset programs to choose from which include heart health, weight management and interval programs. There are two custom presets too which include My Zone interval and My Zone constant through which the user can set the times according to his own will and then the machine will follow the times set by the user.

The My zone interval program is pretty hard for any average person to cope with because it takes a person through high and low intensity workouts. While the My Zone constant keeps the heart rate at a constant whilst taking the user through his exercise and constantly changes the resistance at which the exercise is going at. There are eight different presets each with three levels. The EL 1000 Natural FIT Elliptical Trainer comes with a lifetime frame and brake guarantee along with a three year parts warranty. It can be easily moved from place to place courtesy its front mounted wheels. The EL 1000 Natural FIT Elliptical Trainer is the best option for people who suffer from knee or joint pain as it does not involve the hassle of running like on a treadmill.

Schwinn 230 Bike

The king of the exercise bike world, the Schwinn 230 recumbent bike is perhaps the most comfortable exercise bike available in the market.

So it shouldn’t be a challenge in trusting this brand.

The Schwinn 230 offers a range of comfortable features which make exercising a lot easier. The features include handle bars, foot pedals and a two position lumbar seat built using the Bio-Fit technology. It also incorporates a bottle holder beneath the seat and a rack just beneath the display to hold your reading material. It takes about an hours worth of work to assemble this machine and once assembled it provides some 12 workout programs and 16 resistance levels. The LCD shows the distance traveled the amount of calories burnt and the distance travelled. So for all you people searching for an exercise bike, this would be the best choice.
