If you want to take your life from hell to heaven, from a health standpoint that is, buy three pieces of home fitness equipment. The first piece of exercise gear you should buy should be a multi-station home gym. Make sure the home gym has more than one or two stations and also make sure that it has the ability to work out the lower half of your body. A leg press, leg extension, or leg curl machine will do. Additionally, you should also make sure that the weight stack for your home gym is broken down into 10 pound increments to make it easier for you to change the intensity level of your workout. Equally as important, is the ability of this multi-station home gym, to replicate the natural lifting motions of the top quality exercise machines that you would use at a commercial fitness center or gym.

Home Fitness Equipment – Precor AMT 100i Adaptive Motion Trainer

Sunday, February 7th, 2010 | Precor AMT 100i with No Comments »

When the phrase “The Best Life Has to Offer” was first used, it spawned during a converaation between fitness experts sitting around a campfire, trying to come up with ways to describe this Precor AMT 100i, or otherwise known as the Adaptive Motion Trainer. With unique capabilities such as an adjustable stride and an unlimited range of motion, Precor gave the fitness industry a gift and exactly what it needed, when they created this health club quality, Adaptive Motion Trainer. Although Precor has an outstanding reputation for designing and developing commercial and home fitness equipment, until they created the AMT 100i, Precor had not yet developed a cardiovascular machine that adapted to the walking, jogging and running motions of its user, stride for stride and step for step, with as much precision as the AMT. Being able to naturally conform to its users bio-mechanical movements and running motions, is a revolutionary feature, and just recently mastered.

The greatest and most important feature of the Precor AMT 100i is the fact that the stride length and running motions are determined by the user on the machine, and nothing else. While the majority of elliptical trainers have a set stride stride length that can not be adjusted, others have an adjustable stride that can be adjusted manually, or adjusted on the fly with the push of a button. What sets this extraordinary Precor trainer so far apart from the rest is that the Precor AMT 100i has an adjustable stride length, that the user adjusts, based on their own preferences and comfort level. Changing the stride length anywhere from 0″ to 27″ is very simple, and it can be done without pressing any buttons, turning any knobs, or screwing in and out nuts and bolts. The stride conforms to the user and his or her own natural running motion and the stride length and motion can be changed from one stride to the next. In other words, feel free to extend your legs throughout your workout as far as you can, just as if you were running outdoors. Being able to adjust the stride and tension at your own discretion allows you to stay fresh and not get bored.

Through being able to adjust their stride, the AMT allows users of all shapes and sizes to naturally duplicate their stride length without having to getting on and off different ellipticals until they find one that conforms to their running motion. Another solid benefit of having an adjustable stride are that it enables the user to develop and tone different muscle groups. People can work on different muscle groups in their legs and buttocks through smooth and natural rhythmic motions, enabled through stride adjustments, designed to mimic the customary stride of the user.

Adjustable strides also allows users to change their pace and bio-mechanics at their convenience. Also, people of different shapes and sizes are all able to use this extraordinary Precor trainer, and adjust the stride, based on his or her needs. For example, take Amy and Joe, husband and wife for over 15 years. Amy is 5’3 and Joe is 6’2. Clearly, their stride lengths will not be identical, meaning that the same elliptical that works well for Joe, is not going to work as well for Amy. The only way that they can both be comfortable using the same elliptical, is if they buy a unit that allows them to adjust the stride length. Having an elliptical with an adjustable stride such as this eliminates the need for various ellipticals to accommodate different user characteristics.

For example, if you are purchasing this unit for your home or a health club, you will have people with a wide variety of stride lengths due to variations in height, leg length and so on. But, with this innovative model, each user can find his or her own comfort level (perfect stride length) with the simple push of a button. The stride is adjusted electronically rather than the user having to stop their workout and manually adjust the stride. Automatic adjustment is key to an uninterrupted workout, which is why it is awesome that you can adjust this stride on the fly, during the course of your exercising, without having to stop.

An adjustable stride length also allows users to develop different muscle groups and target different areas of their butt and thighs. It is key to work out muscle groups that are unaccustomed to physical activity, that way, you burn fat in places you would never imagine! Being able to focus on different muscle groups is an extremely important factor to keeping your workout routines creative and cutting-edge.

Your mind and body work together and your entire body performs it best when both are intricately involved and on the same page. When you get on the AMT you realize within minutes that it is the best elliptical cross-trainer of all time. It is made with thick steel framework and the unit weighs close to 600 pounds, which highlights and underlines its durability. Not only is its structural base and framework as solid as a tank, but its ability to perfectly mimic the walking, jogging and running motions of users that come in all shapes and sizes, is what truly illustrates its most impotant feature.

The Experience SeriesTM display console is another factor that eliminates fatigue and workout indifference. It allows users to choose from a wide range of challenging exercise programs and motivational workout options. Please remember to use the various programming options due to their proven ability to maximize results.

Maximizing results through user-interactive programming will help you save time and remain healthy. In order for one to truly get the most out of their home fitness equipment, first and foremost, they must like the equipment itself. It is hard enough to get a solid workout in after a long day at work that the last thing any over us want is some sub-par elliptical trainer that takes up space and breaks down 1 out of every 4 times we use it. With top quality fitness gear, one is able to reach his or her full potential and really get the most out of their physical training. To reiterate what was mentioned earlier, an awesome trainer such as the Precor AMT 100i feels so great because not only is it sturdy as a mountain, but more importantly, its bio-mechanics do a phenomenal job in duplicating the natural stride length of its user. No limits. No boundaries. Just a free flowing, natural, user-defined, running and walking motion.

Feature Product of the Day! Precor AMT 100i

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 | gym gear, Precor AMT 100i with No Comments »

When the phrase “One of a Kind” was invented, we here at KingsofCardio.com believe that it spawned from six men sitting around a campfire, trying to come up with ways to describe this Precor AMT elliptical cross-trainer. Due to its adjustable stride and unlimited range of motion, Precor really hit it on the head with their latest design, in this unique and ground breaking machine.

Most elliptical trainers have a set stride but some have an adjustable stride that can be be manually adjusted, or adjusted on the fly with the push of a button. This model has an adjustable stride that the user adjusts on their own without pressing any buttons, turning any knobs, or screwing in and out nuts and bolts. The stride conforms to the user and his or her own natural running motion. Being able to adjust the stride and tension at your own discretion allows you to stay fresh and not get bored.

Your mind and body work together and your entire body performs it best when both are intricately involved and on the same page. When you get on the AMT you realize within minutes that it is the best elliptical cross-trainer of all time. It is made with thick steel framework and the unit weighs close to 600 pounds, which highlights and underlines its durability. Not only is its structural base and framework as solid as a tank, but its ability to perfectly mimic the walking, jogging and running motions of users that come in all shapes and sizes, is what truly illustrates its most impotant feature.

The experience series display console is another factor that eliminates fatigue and workout indifference. It allows users to choose from a wide range of challenging exercise programs and motivational workout options. Please remember to use the various programming options due to their proven ability to maximize results.

Speaking of maximizing results, working out with a partner will help you reach your full potential and he or she will push you that extra mile. The amount of people that reach their full potential without someone there to push them, is slim. In other words, there is a reason that coaches and athletic trainers are paid so much money. The next best thing to spending a ton of money on a trainer, is getting a good friend that has similar goals as yourself, you two can go to the gym together. Precor gym equipment is great for users who want to compete with their exercise partners because it is so easy to keep track of all of the numbers. For example, the AMT 100′s experience series display keeps track of time, distance, average spped, calories burned, and many other user readouts. Having all of these numbers displayed allows users to constantly monitor their progress and stats. If you want to have a competiton with your workout partner, you can monitor each and every physical fitness statistic imaginable and that makes it really easy to analyze and compare results.

Power Struggle

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009 | fitness equipment for home, home gym sale, online fitness store with No Comments »

Has anyone noticed the amount of fitness equipment suppliers there are on the internet? I mean it is insane at this point. Last night, I had a man call and inquire about a Precor AMT 100i, and I am not kidding when I say we were on the phone for 2 hours. This caller must have known every single fact about this Precor AMT that there was…………. and then some. If there were a written test on the specs, prices, dimensions and history of the Precor AMT, I would bet this caller would do better than the Precor manufacturers who are responsible for the development of Precor gym equipment. So I asked him, “Sir, just out of curiousity, are you writing a book on the history of the Precor AMT 100i, and other Precor fitness gear, because you sound like you know every single thing possible there is to know about this elliptical. I bet you even know how thick the steel framework is?”….”I do he said”…. and then he proceeded to tell me that the reason he knows everything about this Precor AMT, includung what it future value will be in 2012 (just kidding), is because he has already talked to “at least 15 different internet fitness stores.” Just a year ago, if you GOOGLED “Precor AMT 100i”, there would be no more than 2-3 people advertising for that product. Now there are 20-30 rotating ads for that one elliptical alone.

The good part is that, there are not any stores that has reviews as good as the reviews for kings of cardio.

My Weight Loss Bets

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009 | Best Fitness, Exercise Equipment Sale, gym supplies with No Comments »

Today I started training for my latest goal which is to get down to 175 lbs. by January 1st. First, a few facts about myself, and then you will be judge more acuartely as to whether or not I will be able to get down to 175 Lbs. My name is John, doesn’t matter my name, but I am 5’10, 195 Lbs. and I have a standing bet for $1000.00 with my girlfriend on whether or not I will be able to lose the weight (20 Lbs.) by the new year. I have already lost 9 pounds and I am down to 186 pounds right now. I get addicted to things easilly and before I even started training, I purchased some home gym equipment, health club quality of course, and some protein shakes, other amino acids, vitamins, and other nutritional supplements. Let me say, the Life Fitness 95Ti Treadmill is a horse! Life fitness also makes some great elliptical cross-trainers but my wife LOVES Precor and I didn’t want to buy 2, mostly due to the fear of not using them both, so I decided to go with the Precor EFX 576i because it exercises both your upper and lower body.

Home for the Holidays

Saturday, November 28th, 2009 | Precor AMT 100i with No Comments »

It’s nice to be home for the holidays and see family and friends. Catching up on what all of your favorite people are doing is always a good thing. The only bad part apart going home for Thanksgiving and Christmas is that we tend to eat way too many calories during while we socialize and hang out with the people that are closest to us. Try and imagine the last time you went to a family gathering and did not leave 10 lbs. heavier? The problem with consuming too many calories is that it can be very detrimental towards our health and long term happiness. The recipe for mixing your favorite indulgences while remaining healthy can be easy to follow as long as you live by the code of “moderation.” In other words, anything in moderation is fine, and as long as you are active and exericse regularly, those extra calories consumed during the holidays with family will burn right off!
