Fitness Routine: Fitness Routines should detail different workouts for each day of the week. Fitness routines need to be closely adhered to in order for the person using the fitness routine to maximize his or her results. Human body parts get worn down and stressed if they are exercised too heavily and often, therefore, it is necessary to give your muscles a rest while exercising other muscles that are not as sore. Dismantling your exercise routine into several different workouts to be performed during the week is a fantastic way to approach exercising and fitness. Exercising your biceps, triceps, forearm and other muscles in your arms can be your fitness routine on Monday. Tuesday can be a day for your thighs, quadriceps, calf muscles, and other muscles in your lower body. My personal fitness routine leaves Wednesday as a day for rest so I will do the same as we continue this example. Thursday is a perfect day to get back to work and hit the bench press. Along with bench pressing, there are approximately seven or eight other exercises I will do for my chest on this day. Incline and decline chest presses are awesome ways to add some spice to your fitness routine and really carve up your chest muscles. Push-ups are a must for anyone serious about having a day of their fitness routine dedicated to the pectoralis muscles. Dips and peck deck flyes are other great additions to any chest workout. Our fitness routine comes to an end on Friday, which is a day focused on strengthening the back and its multitude of muscles. As we get older, having a flexible and strong back is crucial for maintaining our ability to compete athletically in the form of basketball, tennis, golf or baseball. Seated rows, lat pull downs, dips, pull-ups, chin-ups, and shrugs are just some of the exercises that can be done to strengthen ones back. So for a quick recap of how my fitness routine breaks down, we have worked out our arms (biceps / triceps / forearms) on Monday. On Tuesday we hit our lower body. Calf raises, squats, leg curls, leg extensions and dead lifts are all part of our healthy fitness routine on Tuesday. Wednesday is a day for rest. Thursday is when I focus on my chest through a variety of challenging chest exercises which include the bench press, incline press, decline press, cable crossover and dumbbell flys. Lastly, Friday will be used as a day centered around working out the back muscles.

Always make sure you are adding at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise during each one of your workouts. Fitness routines need to have cardio and strength training programs. Half an hour of cardio can be performed on a rowing machine, treadmill, elliptical, exercise bike or stair stepper. My personal favorites are the Life Fitness 95Ti Treadmill, StairMaster 916 Stair Stepper, the Life Fitness 95Ce Exercise Bike and the Precor EFX 556 CrossTrainer. Any of those health club quality pieces of gym equipment would be great for cardio training. Premium strength training equipment such as leg presses, bench presses, lat pulls and other various weight lifting equipment is easy to come by. There isn’t much difference between 45 pound plates. No matter who makes them. However, the complete opposite is true for cardio equipment. One must be careful when purchasing cardio equipment such as treadmills, stationary exercise bikes, stair steppers, elliptical and cross-training machines. The electronic components of the fitness equipment just mentioned make cardio equipment such as treadmills and ellipticals more difficult to create than dumbbells, bench presses and curl bars.

Sparked by the necessity for a portable and continual power supply, treadmills were developed to generate consistent power supply. Originating as agricultural machines, designed to power butter churns, water pumps and spinning wheels, treadmills have come a long way since their draconian days when they were used by horses, sheep, dogs and mules, to help farmers produce power, rather than help humans get and stay in shape. It wasn’t until 1952, that the University of Washington Dr. Robert Bruce, who was believed by many to be the father of exercise cardiology, along with his colleague, and fellow UW employee Wayne Quinton, developed the first medical treadmill, built to study, treat and diagnose heart and lung disease. This treadmill would be the foundation for what we exercise on today.

When discussing the origins of the treadmill, it helps to understand its etymology. The word “Tread” refers to a person or animal “treading” in place, while the word “Mill”, refers to a machine for grinding. Coming a long way from being used for the same purpose of a windmill, modern day treadmills are great tools for helping people to decrease their body fat percentage, increase flexibility, lose weight, build endurance, gain stamina, reduce blood pressure, and countless other benefits associated with treadmill usage.

Altrhough the treadmills of today can ultimately be traced back to the 19th century, todays treadmills are based off of the models that were built in the middle of the 20th century, rather than the 19th. Once the 1960′s came along, the fitness equipment industry emerged as a function of a public yearning to become healthier and the treadmill boom took effect. No longer were treadmills solely owned and operated by doctors, inventors and fitness gurus, ordinary Americans were intrigued by the health benefits associated with treadmills. Capitalists quickly realized the popularity of treadmills and decided that the commercial production of treadmills, both residential and gym (health club quality), would be an optimal investment. While the fitness equipment industry blossomed, treadmills were pushed by fitness equipment manufacturers such as Tunturi (a bicycle making business based out of Finland) & Aerobics Inc (American), developed several different models of treadmills. Even NASA (National Aeronautics Space Association) jumped on the treadmill bandwagon as NASA used treadmills to train astronauts and get them in shape for long orbits in space.

With features including user-friendly interactive workout programming, wireless heart rate controls, entertainment centers with TV, DVD, Internet & iPod functions, and an aesthetic appeal that resembles modern art more than draconian machinery, treadmills have come a long way since their nineteenth century inception. Fitness equipment companies such as Precor, Life Fitness, Star Trac, StairMaster and Body-Solid, have all contributed significantly to the evolution of the treadmill, evidenced by the amount of money, time, and analysis these fitness equipment brands have invested.

If you are interested in purchasing a treadmill, let us educate you on the different parts and controls of home and commercial treadmills. Treadmill parts and products include the running belt, motor controllers, treadmill motors, running deck, frame, treadmill rollers, incline wheels, drive belts, tension motors, braking mechanisms and electronic consoles. In order to simplify things for you, make sure you buy a treadmill that has a solid steel frame, a speed motor that has at least 2.0HP, a running deck that is at least 18″W x 58″L, and an iron-clad warranty that backs up all of these treadmill parts in writing. One good thing about a saturated fitness equipment industry is that you get the benefit of having a wide selection of treadmills to chose from. Whether you are a novice or an expert, there is no benefit in buying a treadmill that is not built well. Always do your homework when it comes to buying fitness equipment such as treadmills in order to prevent yourself from not getting full value for your money.

Often looked past, is the suspension system and the suspension on a treadmill is key toward keeping its users in good health. What good is running miles and miles, while burning tons of calories, just to wake up the next morning, with severe aches and pains, because the suspension on the treadmill resembled more of an asphalt road than a grass field. Certain treadmill features come to mind when considering purchasing a treadmill and many of us look right past the suspension, while analyzing the speed, power incline, exercise programs, fitness tests and its cosmetic appearance.

People love to run in the morning, afternoon, put a reflector on and run at night. Run for fun. Running has an interesting way of making us feel healthier mentally and physically speaking. We sleep better, feel lighter, have more stamina, look healthier and eat more balanced diets when running and daily exercise are like second nature and intrinsic to our everyday lives. Other pieces of fitness equipment such as stair climbers, rowing machines and elliptical trainers are all effective cardiovascular training machines, however, treadmills give us the ability to run for as long, and as fast as possible, while allowing users to truly mimic their natural running and walking motions.

Millions of people take time out of their day to walk, jog or run on a treadmill. After all, the classic workout incorporates warming up through stretching, working with strength equipment, and running on a treadmill. Running on treadmills allow our bodies to look and feel young. Commercial health clubs and home gyms can not be complete without a gym grade, health club quality treadmill. One of the many great things about treadmills, is that they are beneficial for everyone including teenagers, adults, senior citizens, beginners, professional athletes, and even those who are disabled. Daily exercise is necessary, and treadmill usage is essential, for all people that want to burn calories, lose weight, gain speed, build endurance and get in shape.

The weather is starting to get colder which means that exercising outside becomes less intriguing as each day passes. Who wants to run outside at night in Cleveland, Detroit, New York, or anywhere that is cold for that matter. This is why treadmills, ellipticals and other home gym equipment was invented. These days it is easier than ever to purchase quality fitness equipment for your home, making stay in shape possible, even if your window of opportunity to exercise each day shuts as new things come up into our schedules un-announced. When you have fitness equipment at home, you do not have to carve 2 hours out of your day for going to the gym, showering, sitting in traffic, so on and so forth.

Summer is winding down but this does not mean that you should give up on your summer exercising routines. Do not start hibernating just because the sun is starting to go down earlier and it is not as hot outside. Egg nog, sleeping, and eating cookies is for fat people and the Kings of Cardio are fighting a war against obesity. More treadmills and less sugar. Less resting and more physical fitness. Our nation as a whole has become fat, lazy and most of all, we have no discipline. When it comes to health, we ( greater than 50% of U.S.A.), show absolutely no discipline which is highlighted by our obesity numbers.

In reference to another very important issue, aging, which has been a hot topic in the new lately. Recently, it has become apparent through various studies that the more you eat, that quicker you age. If you do not want to look like a grandfather/grandmother by your mid 40′s, you need to pay very close attention to what you eat and equally as important, how often you dedicate time to physical fitness and exercise.
