For those of you unfamiliar with professional boxing, there is a HUGE match this weekend, on 9/19, this Saturday night. The United States best pound for pound fighter, Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather, faces off against Mexican living legend Juan Marquez, in what most expect to be a lopsided bout. This sentiment is reflected by the current Las Vegas odds which make Mayweather a 4.3:1 favorite, meaning that in order to earn $1 off of betting on Mayweather to win, you must bet $4.30. We here at Kings of Cardio would love to hear who everyone likes and why!
What is very interesting about this fight is the great physical condition both fighters are in and HBO documented their training every step of the way. Their cardio routines are insane. They are not running on treadmills, they are running up mountains, and do not rest. In order to be the best you can’t just go to the gym and use the Life Fitness 95Xi for 20 minutes and then leave. That will not have you lookng like the Floyd Mayweathers and other great athletes of the world. However, if you have a comprehensive home gym, including treadmills, ellipticalls, rowing machines and free weight equipment, then you will halfway there. The other half will be whether or not you actually use the home gym equipment. So many people buy a Life Fitness treadmill or Precor elliptical and they end up only using them as coat hangers!
Home gym equipment is great if you want to workout inside, but I advocate walking outside and exercising in fresh air. Open, fresh air environments are great for getting inshape. Many people buy an elliptical or a treadmill and then they give up because they do not end up using the treadmill or elliptical. Give yourself another chance and try to go for a walk in the woods sometime. You may enjoy it and keep doing it on a daily basis. In order to lose weight and look good, you have too like exercising. The more exercising feels like a chore, the less you will get done.
I appreciate all of your information on home fitness equipment
