| Q: Do you have treadmills,
elliptical trainers, or bikes? |
|
A: Yes, we do have treadmills,
elliptical trainers and bikes. However, we would like you to keep in mind that we also
have Circuit Training, and cardio is built into Circuit Training, giving you a more
efficient, effective workout. Studies have shown this to be a much more effective way to
train than doing just cardio, or separating cardio and resistance training.
We also have an indoor track. Studies have shown this type of training
to be up to 50% more effective than other forms of cardio. 50% more effective, means you
spend 50% less time to achieve the same results. It is also much more effective at
developing balance and coordination, than other forms of cardio.
Our track is set up as a cardio circuit, utilizing steps that function
much as a treadmill. Like a treadmill program that varies the incline, our steps vary in
height. We reconfigure the track every few days to give you a variety. You can adjust the
"speed" by varying your cadence.
When utilizing this type of cardio circuit, you develop balance and
coordination, something studies have shown treadmills, elliptical trainers and bicycles
can actually diminish. It is also a more intense way to train, since you are moving the
body instead of just supporting it while a mechanism, such as a treadmill belt, moves your
leg for you. You can also use the provided medicine balls and hand held weights to
incorporate asymmetrical loading and further enhance balance, coordination, and create a
full body workout. This contributes to a more functional body - and a much higher calorie
burn! |
