There are many different reasons for starting up or intensifying your physical fitness program, but among the most popular are to enhance one’s appearance, increase their overall level of health, and to prolong and improve the quality of their life. Use the information found in these tips to get started with your new plan.

In order to truly commit to a fitness program, you need to change your attitudes and beliefs about fitness. You need to be willing to work hard, even when you’re feeling tired or lazy. Only if you are willing to make solid, lasting changes will you able to make fitness a part of your life.

Signing up for a regular exercise class is a great way to get fit. It’s easy to promise yourself that you’ll find time to exercise, but a class will give you an extra obligation. Once you’ve signed up and set aside the time, having a class to go to will help motivate you to exercise and avoid the usual excuses.

When doing crunches, you need to make sure you are protecting your neck to reduce an injury. Pretend there is an orange in between your neck and your chest. This will help to reduce any extra strain you may have. It will also make your body in the proper alignment so that you are getting the full benefit.

Jumping jacks are a classic calisthenic exercise that you can do. All you have to do is jump and separate your arms and legs. Then jump again and return to a normal standing position. Repeat this about 20 to 25 times a day. If you’re a little more athletic, you can increase the number of jacks.

To keep yourself positive about long repetitions, count backward instead of forward. Counting forward has you concentrating on how much you have already done and can make you feel fatigued faster. Alternately, counting backward keeps you focused on how you have a little less to do with every rep.

If you work at a job that has many floors, one thing that you should do is to take the steps instead of the elevator. This will give you some exercise that you need during the day, and can help to break down a lot of fat over the course of the year.

Now that you have identified your key motivation for starting up or stepping up a comprehensive fitness program, you can take some time to plan out and visualize your most effective approach and contingency plan. Use these tips and tricks as you push yourself to beat the obstacles and win your way to physical fitness.

One of the most popular pieces of fitness equipment for cardiovascular training is the StairMaster.

How does It work?

The StairMaster comprises two footplates on which the exerciser stands. An internal chain pulls each plate up to the top automatically as you shift your body weight from foot to foot, simulating the motion of climbing stairs.

The intensity of a workout on the StairMaster is controlled by a simple push button that allows you to control the speed at which each leg descends with each weight transfer.

What are the benefits?

The four biggest benefits are its ability to increase your cardiovascular fitness, burn calories, improve muscle conditioning in your legs and buttocks, as well as improve balance.

The StairMaster has also been used to rehabilitate hips and knees after injury or surgery.

Can it cause problems?

Although the StairMaster is considered a safe piece of fitness equipment, it does require weight bearing, balance and loading the front part of your knees.

If you have a history of hip or knee joint pain, have difficulty with stairs or have balance problems, there is an above average chance the StairMaster may worsen your troubles.

Check with your physician or a physical therapist for an alternative form of cardiovascular training, such as stationary cycling.

Anyone with cardiovascular problems or who is over the age of 50 should consult their physician before attempting the StairMaster.

The sweat factor

Given the large muscles used with the StairMaster, it has tremendous potential to generate sweat and burn calories.

The key to seeing maximum results, however, is not holding the handrails or supporting your upper body weight by leaning on them. Unless you have a problem with balance that requires you to hold on to the handrails, you are only cheating yourself into a false impression of your fitness level and the calories burned during your workout.

It takes significantly more strength, balance and conditioning to do the StairMaster without using your hands.

The learning curve

Part of the success of the StairMaster is the ease involved in learning how to use it. You should have it mastered in less than three minutes.

The key to learning how to use it isn’t to push down with each stride, but rather to learn how to shift your weight rhythmically from one leg to the other. If you’ve never used a StairMaster before, ask a weight floor supervisor, personal trainer or fitness equipment salesperson how to use it.

What do you need?

Apart from the StairMaster itself, you’ll need a pair of running shoes, shorts and T-shirt. Bring along a water bottle and a sweat towel.

How to start

Despite the fact you may be healthy and fit, the StairMaster does use muscles and joints in a different way than other pieces of cardiovascular equipment.

For this reason, begin slowly and progress the intensity and duration of your workouts by no more than 20 per cent from one workout to the next. That means, if you exercised for 10 minutes one day, the maximum you’d use it the following workout would be 12 minutes, 15 minutes the next and so forth.

The purpose of this strategy is to give your joints and muscles the opportunity to repair themselves and to prevent overuse injuries from developing.

Where do I find it?

StairMasters are among the most popular pieces of home gym equipment, along with treadmills and stationary bikes. This is because they are excellent pieces of equipment offering cardiovascular and muscle conditioning, and require very little space in a home gym.

Before purchasing one for home use, visit a fitness club and make a point of using it at least eight to 10 times and compare it to other forms of cardiovascular training.

If you’re sold on the StairMaster, then by all means contact a local retailer and shop around.

Given the potential for problems with any electronic fitness equipment, consider purchasing a new one with a long-term warranty.

Bottom line

If you’re looking to improve your cardiovascular fitness, improve your muscle conditioning and burn calories, give the StairMaster a try.

It’s a great workout.

I wanted to show all of you what I use to workout and all of my fitness equipment. However, to get in great shape you really don’t need any equipment at all, just your body! That is what is so great about Insanity, you are just using yourself as the resistance and pushing yourself, and you will see results. But it is good to have different equipment to add variety to your workouts and to challenge yourself. Just get the equipment you need, and don’t go out and spend all your money! Try to find good deals on craigslist or on ebay, like I did for my dumbbells and power tower, which will save you a ton of money.

Please rate and comment! Let me know if you have any questions.
