Buying an elliptical
I live too far from a dedicated gym to make a membership worthwhile, but i don’t have the time to commute forty hours each way.
I workout every single afternoon, and I prefer to spend around an hour exercising, just making enough time for our workout is sometimes difficult, however having a apartment gym allows me to get more out of our time.
I can exercise whenever I have the opportunity. I sometimes workout first thing in the day; There are those hectic nights when I don’t get to exercise until the night. I have gradually added new device to our apartment gym. I started with little more than a yoga mat and a set of free weights… Because fitness gear and machines are severely expensive, I am particular about what I buy, then plus, I don’t have a big space to toil with. I have invested into a mini trampoline, incline bench, kettlebells, resistance bands and a jump rope. Just recently, I decided to buy a bigger piece of machinery, not wanting to regret our purchase, I did tons of research. I looked into treadmills first. I absolutely prefer to run, and it’s a fantastic way to get the heart and lungs working. However, I can run outside and the motion is very difficult on the joints and feet. I then considered a stationary bike. I wasn’t thrilled that a bike doesn’t do anything for the shoulders and arms. Plus, I prefer riding our actual bike outside. I finally chose an elliptical. It’s the perfect machine because it avoids difficult impact on the hips, knees and feet and also involves the arms. The feet don’t leave the petals, creating a very smooth motion that avoids wear and tear on the joints. There are handles that I use to toil our shoulders and arms while also working the legs. The machine is beautifully quiet and allows me to add resistance to increase the demands and benefits of the workout.
