By Kyle Wukawitz
One of the main advantages of running on a treadmill is the ability to simulate areas of terrain that are difficult to practice out on the open road. A hill, a gully, or a long strait-away can start, stop, increase, or decrease in intensity all with a simple push of the button. By being able to fully control the environment at hand, one can use this ability to work on and thus strengthen areas of running that otherwise would go unchecked. By no means are treadmills a total replacement to the open road, but their ability to create an environment one can work with should not go overlooked. If one's goal is to improve their ability to perform consistently above and beyond the average runners ability, one constantly needs to be working on their weaknesses to make them their strengths. The treadmill makes the perfect apparatus to make that goal a reality.
Although the treadmill gives the advantage of controlling an environment in its totality, if one can't get past the mental blocks that stand in the way of developing areas that need improvement then it is worthless. An individual's weak area is often due to the fact that they simply don't like the terrain in question for whatever that reason may be. If a person hates hills and avoids them like the plague, how likely are they going to spend the time and effort to improve on them? The answer lies within the mind and the ability to exert willpower to the situation at hand. One could have the greatest treadmill in the world, but if they aren't able to work past the discomfort of the environment which gives them the most trouble and to do so consistently they simply won't get better. To get past these barriers, they must create a scenario in their mind that equates more pain to not achieving their goals and looks past the temporary discomfort that intense running can create.
If one can get past the pain and discomfort of consistently having to deal with their weaknesses, the treadmill then becomes a tool that can be of enormous benefit to any serious runner. The issues that needs to be addressed before any treadmill running program commences are the true weaknesses of the individual at hand. This often can be helped by a running buddy or friend whom sits down with the runner and goes over what needs to be improved upon. If the friend is candid and gives their honest opinion, you may find out that there are weak areas that you know of and others that aren't quite self-evident. One will find that friends are most effective in spotting technique and posture weak spots. Getting out of bad habits when it comes to form is paramount to any athlete who looks at their activity with a longterm mindset. Technique flaws account for nearly all running injuries a runner can face solidifying the fact that time spent on the treadmill should be used to eliminate bad form, nail down stride length, and develop good posture etc. This can be helped even further if the treadmill has a mirror facing it's direction as many sports and fitness clubs have set up. Looking, watching, and perfecting running form will help any serious athlete be able to keep going well into their 50's, 60's, 70's, and beyond. Use of the treadmill in this manner makes it a valuable tool to stay injury free.
With form perfected and mindset in check, it's now time to increase that VO2 max and really make the the treadmill perform for the runner. The best method to eliminate weak spots is to set up intervals or bouts of training time that focus on those areas exclusively. For example, if steep hills are an individual's absolute worst, they should start out by encountering a 30 second hill every five minutes. This gives the runner an exact time to shoot for, as they know how long the hill will last and how much time is left until they can tone it back to a regular pace. Secondly, time between bouts allows the runner to prepare for the next interval and will vastly improve their ability to handle known terrain when out on the open road. As the runner gets better at dealing with their weak areas, the interval time is gradually increased while the time between gradually decreases. By knowing the exact time and intensity specifications for the environment at hand, one can realistically improve their running ability with small but continual increases in work load. By keeping track of their progress, a runner can shave minutes off their times by gradually handling higher and more intense scenarios.
A treadmill should be part of any runner's arsenal of tools that he or she uses on a regular basis. By taking advantage of the ability to control ones environment, an individual can make gradual improvements in technique, speed, intensity, and mental strength and chart their progress extremely accurately. The ability to chart and record progress becomes extremely beneficial because regular improvement is then second nature and easy to accomplish.

Exercise Equipment Buyers Guide
By Paul Reeve
Exercise equipment - do we really need to buy it? Well there are occasions when traveling to the gym is just not convenient. Modern living requires us to earn a living, take care of the kids as well as many other tasks which eat into our time. This busy lifestyle can eventually have an adverse effect on our health. We are all painfully aware that we should find time to exercise but where do we actually find that time? A good solution is to buy your own exercise equipment and exercise in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Here are a few things to consider before purchasing exercise equipment: How often are you going to use it? Do you have space in your home? What kind of exercises do you like to do? Should you purchase used or new? Do you want to buy equipment with a specific body area in mind? Lets go through these points one at a time.
Will You Actually Use the Equipment?
The market for used exercise equipment is huge. The reason is not typically because people want to upgrade their equipment, but because they bought something that they had no intention of using in the first place. If you are not a weight lifter then perhaps you do not need a large selection of bars and weights.
Have you ever been seduced by those info commercials which show hot bodies working out with fancy machines? It takes a lot of time and effort to look as good as the models. The equipment by itself is not going to magically transform you into a bodybuilder. You have to use the exercise equipment on a regular basis to create a healthy body. Before you spend your hard earned money commit yourself to actually using it after you have purchased it.
What Type of Exercise Do You Like?
Most people buy exercise equipment thinking that they would like to get involved in the activity without ever really participating in it. If lifting weights is not your thing, then you should have serious doubts to the benefits from purchasing a high quality bench and huge selection of weights. If, however, you like to go outside to walk or run, you will most likely enjoy this activity as much or even better in the comfort of your home. This is borne out by the popularity of treadmills which continue to be the number one piece of cardio vascular equipment.
Make Sure You Have the Space
Before you run out and buy a treadmill or home gym you probably want to map out where you intend to put it in your home. Exercise equipment can look relatively small in a big gym hall, but the same piece of equipment in your little upstairs bedroom can dominate the room. There are many pieces of equipment made nowadays that can fold up into smaller units perfect for closet storage or fit in unused corner areas.
Buying New or Used
Everyone wants to pay as little as possible for fitness equipment, but your cost goes up quickly when the equipment becomes faulty or doesn't perform as promised. Although you may be aware of some qualified sources for used fitness equipment, you may still fret about the product's quality and performance, and the problems you may be presented with if it becomes faulty.
Your best bet is to research fitness products by visiting any number of the various fitness product review websites. Don't buy used equipment but save money for new equipment that has a good warranty. Commence your level of professionalism and commitment to your fitness regime from day one by buying new equipment.
What Part of the Body to Concentrate On?
You might consider what body parts you are most interested in working out with home exercise equipment. Maybe you only want something that can help tone your abdominal muscles. Or perhaps you are not getting enough legwork and want equipment to build those muscles. Of course, there is also exercise equipment that can work out the entire body. The idea is to consider your goals and what you want to accomplish with the exercise equipment and then make your purchase.
Make Sure You Use It!
Exercise equipment can be a time saver for those people who want a workout but cannot make it to the gym. There are many types of equipment available so choosing the right one will ensure that it will actually be used. Exercise equipment can make you healthier but only if you use it and do not relegate it to the junk pile.

Using A Treadmill To Improve Your Running Game
BY Klye Wukawitz
Running on a treadmill has a few advantages that road running cannot give. This is not to say that any serious runner shouldn't be hitting the pavement, actually quite the contrary. However, if improving on your existing conditioning and turning your weak spots into strengths is a goal of yours, the treadmill is be a very effective tool that will help benefit your running game.
Treadmills offer a controlled environment that your never going to achieve consistently outside. A smooth, strait path and perfect weather conditions(indoor weather!) make it easy to get a workout in. You'll never have to miss a workout because of heavy rain, snow, or a heat wave nor will are you forced to find a path that you can maintain a good steady pace on. The best part of running on a treadmill for me is I never have to worry about stop lights, cars, dogs, other people etc. None of that is a concern which allows me to concentrate fully on my workout at hand.
Controlling intensity is another great way the treadmill allows you to improve on your running game. I know exactly what speed I'm maintaining throughout my entire workout which is great when I want to work on my intensity level. I often crank it up 2-3 tenths a mile an hour faster above what I'm comfortable running at which means I'm always pushing my limits. When I get out on the open road I find that my times drop when I run consistently on a treadmill for a few weeks. This is where the treadmill offers much more than convenience. For me, its a tool that I use to make myself a much better runner than I otherwise would be.
Working on scenarios that are tough for me out on the open road is another way I can improve my running ability. I often will crank up the incline and work on my hill game. It makes my lungs scream and my legs feel like their on fire, but always helps me be much more effective when I encounter the same situation when out on the trail. Interval training is another great way to improve your VO2 max, which can come in handy especially in a road race type of environment. You never want to lose a race simply because you're not conditioned enough. By cranking up the intensity and using the timer to gradually increase the duration of such bouts, one can effectively improve their ability to hold a sustained intensity and speed that other runners can often only dream of.
Using the treadmill to work on form is probably one of the single most effective ways to reduce and/or prevent a running injury. The controlled environment allows a runner to concentrate fully on his or her movements, which is great for someone with bad habits or posture. Working those kinks out will greatly decrease the chances of any running related injury especially as you get older and more and more miles under your belt. I concentrate fully on stride length, the position and movement of my knees, posture etc. which forms good habits that I don't have to think about on the open road. As a result, I hardly ever have to take a break from running because of a bad back, sore knees, or many of the other ailments that seems to plaque a lot of my running buddies and friends.
Running on a treadmill can be a great, self-prescribed supplement to anyone's running routine that over time can greatly improve the runner's all-around performance out on the open road. Consider it a tool, much the same way a ball player or soccer star using weight training to improve their game. By using the treadmill in a systematic, intelligent manner one can begin to see improved results almost immediately. I highly recommend supplementing a routine with regular workouts on the treadmill for anyone serious about running.

How Do You Find the Best Treadmills?
By Michael Browne
The best treadmills on the market offer an unparalleled cardiovascular workout, and are an essential part of any commercial or home gym. With so many makes and models to choose from, it is difficult to find the ideal treadmill for your particular situation. As such, it's important to learn about what is available and how to choose the unit that's right for you.
Before you even consider a purchase, you must make sure that your space can accommodate a treadmill, and if you're living in an apartment building, if you're allowed to have one and if the power source is there. Once you're sure you can buy one, then you should begin the process.
You can read reviews of the best treadmills in exercise magazines and publications such as Consumer's Reports. There are dozens of top manufacturers, and each one offers a variety of models to choose from. When browsing the selection keep in mind what your budget is, what you will be using the treadmill for, e.g. long distance running or short, slow walking, and what features you are looking for, e.g. heart rate monitor, incline, program variety, etc.
While researching and reviewing the home equipment industry, we discovered that a higher price doesn't necessarily mean a better exercise machine, and also just because a treadmill is popular, doesn't mean it's good. So look beyond price and popularity when it comes to your selection.
Some of the best recommended treadmills are not very expensive at all, yet top-of-the-line models with all of the available options and features can be pricey. For home use, however, unless money is no object, you don't need to purchase a commercial model, as those treadmills are built for excessive usage. Unless everyone in your family runs 20 miles a day, every day, there is no need for such a model for your home gym.
So what should you look for when it comes to the best treadmills for your home?
Start with a top manufacturer. Look for a company that has been in the business for a long time and one that is known for the quality of their equipment. Even with casual use, your machine will experience wear and tear over the years, so you want to buy a machine that will last: solid construction, durability, high-grade materials.
Any reviews of the best treadmills will discuss the motor, a key component of any unit. It should have at least a 2.5 HP continuous duty motor, which will provide the power you need for a long period of time. Anything less is insufficient.
If you can, try the treadmill out before you buy it. Test the feel of the machine, the ease of use of the features, the different workouts, inclines, speeds. Make sure you enjoy using the machine so you won't come up with any excuses not to work out.
As far as speed and incline, the best treadmills will go up to at least 10 mph, and at least 10 levels of incline. Transition from one speed to another or one incline to the next should be smooth and seamless, not clunky. There should also be an ample footprint (running area) and various programs to choose from.
Last, but not least, the best recommended treadmills will always come with a good, comprehensive warranty. If the company is not willing to stand behind its product, then you know the quality will be subpar. Also, read testimonials and customer satisfaction ratings, which usually are part of the reviews of the best treadmills on the market.

Used Exercise Bikes - A Great Investment
By Dean Iggo
Purchasing one of many used exercise bikes can be a really great investment for you. Used exercise bikes come from two basic sources. First, you can buy a truly used bike pretty inexpensively in a garage sale or your local classified ads. These used exercise bikes can be in varying conditions from almost new to badly worn. The second source for used exercise bikes is a company that sells reconditioned exercise equipment. These bikes are typically brand name merchandise, like Schwinn or Sears, that were originally in a fitness center, school, or rehabilitation center. When they finished using the equipment, it was bought in an inexpensive lot by a company like the one you've chosen to deal with. They then replace parts, clean it up, and sell it to consumers like yourself. You can find all types of used exercise bikes including those with a fly wheel, traditional exercise bikes, and recumbent bikes.
Why Use An Exercise Bike?
1. Exercise bikes help you strengthen and develop a number of major muscles including your quads, your glutes, and your hamstrings.
2 It is joint friendly because there is almost no impact from the weight of your upper body because of the way the bike is used.
3. It offers an excellent workout for your cardiovascular system.
4. It is very safe because it is an indoor activity, and you can do it anywhere from your own home to a well attended fitness facility.
5. You can enjoy other pleasures like reading, watching television, or listening to music while you are working out on an stationary exercise bike.
Where Can I Find A Reconditioned Model?
Reconditioned bikes are available from a number of sources. Some mail order catalog companies carry reconditioned exercise equipment. Perhaps the best way to locate a used exercise bike dealer is through the internet. A simple search engine query will reveal hundreds of dealers with different purchase requirements. Some may even have local show rooms in your area.

By Song Meng Tan
The prohibitive costs of spa therapies at commercial spas come in the way of enjoying a spa experience for many families. There also comes the time constraint factor.

But a portable home spa can change this scenario completely.
As home spas are safe and enjoyable for the whole family, it doesn’t take long for your new portable home spa to become the most favorite spot in your home. There is no better way to chill out after a stressful day at work than enjoying a relaxed evening in the home spa with your family.
A home spa will also instantly make your home the hub of your social activities. Your home spa can put an end to the debate amongst your friends as to where they should hold their weekend party. They will love coming to your house to enjoy the calm relaxing atmosphere that a home spa provides. A home spa will add a new dimension to your backyard barbeques, social parties, romantic evenings and make them all the more entertaining and memorable.
In addition to these family benefits and social benefits of owning a home spa, you will gain countless personal benefits too from your home spa, which include physical health benefits and mental health benefits. After a long stressful day at work, there is no better way to relax your stressed out mind, tired feet, stiff back muscles and aching body than soaking in your home spa in the comfort of hot water and letting the water jets massage your body from all sides.
The combined effect of heat, massage and buoyancy, called hydrotherapy, offers many physical health benefits, such as improved blood circulation, reduction in muscle strain and soreness and relief from those nagging aches in your shoulders, back, feet and neck – all these benefits promoting sound sleep.
A home spa can also be used for the purpose of taking aromatherapy in the privacy of your home instead of in a health spa or beauty spa. Aromatherapy is based on the power of the gentle fragrances of certain medicinal essential oils in calming your nerves and relaxing your stressed out mind. Such lingering fragrances can invoke fantastic imagery of flowery landscapes, pleasant memories, favorite foods or even desired moods. Aromatherapy uses this principle to provide you relief from your day-to-day worries.
Safe, enjoyable and effective for the whole family, the benefits of a portable home spa will help everyone enjoy an active lifestyle. Your family will love the good times they have relaxing in your home spa and the benefits they derive from the home spa.
