An interesting question, which frequently is brought up amongst friends, is  how far someone can push their body if life changing money is on the line. Could you walk 10 miles home from your friends house? Would you be willing to try and walk 20 miles after sushi and Saki bombs, if you were to receive $20,000.00, for walking the 20 miles? People are so quick to say how they would be able to do this, that, that and this. However, 99/100 people would not be able to walk 20 miles after sushi and Saki, no matter how much money is on the line. In the same breath, there are some brave, fearless souls, that have the power to overcome virtually impassible hurdles by personifying the phrase, “mind over matter.”

Through the consistent and effective use of home fitness equipment we can increase our strength, speed, endurance, and flexibility, but there are still certain limits that we will not be able to surpass, no matter how long we train on our Precor EFX 5.17, or Life Fitness 95Ti. For example, Jesse Kofman is 30 years old and runs 40yd dash in 5.4 seconds. If Jesse exercises and runs everyday for a year, on his Star Trac Pro treadmill, the result will be that he would be able to run approximately a 4.9 second 40yd dash. No matter how hard Jesse tries, he will never be able to run a 4.2 second 40yd dash.

Get your home gyms and treadmills tuned up and ready for the change of weather! Soon it will be cold in most parts of the country and nobody likes exercising outside in cold weather. At least most people that work for the Kings of Cardio, but then again, we get the nice and sunny weather of beautiful Los Angeles, CA.
For those of you who are not as weatherly blessed as we are here in Los Angeles, you must not stop running and walking just because it is starting to get dark earlier and colder by the day. The great thing about purchasing home gym equipment is that once you have it, your options remain open, and you can always go back outside once in a while to exercise during winter, but make life easier for yourself and get some home fitness equipment.

The most common excuse for not neing able to work out and exercise on a daily basis is “Well I just don’t have enough time in my day.” While for most of us this excuse holds merit, we fail to realize how important daily exercise really is towards our health and overall well being. With that said, you need to carve out that 30 minute time frame each and every day in order to maintain a fit amd healthy body. Home fitness equipment is so essential to those who do not have the luxury of taking 2 hours out of there day to go to the gym.  Having a treadmill or an elliptical, or any other piece of exercise equipment at home will make fitting the time to exercise in your daily routine that much easier.

Well it is the end of July and in Los Angeles it feels like Summer is just starting. It has just started to hit the 90′s everyday and people are at the beaches in bunches. People of all ages Swimming, Running, Surfing, playing Volleyball, Tennis, Football, Soccer and every other sport that can be played outside. No matter which cardiovascular exercise you take part in, make sure that you consistently replinish yourself with lots of liquids, primarily water.  It is also good to work out inside when it is this hot out, which is why people who have home fitness equipment laugh at those who are running outside, banging up their knees and getting sunburns.
