admin — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 14:58:20 +0000

There are hundreds of premium home gyms, exercise bikes, and treadmills that you can invest in to get some killer workout at home. But you don’t necessarily need thousands of dollars to start your journey towards getting fit. There are affordable equipment available that won’t cost you a whole lot but still get to push your body. Here are just 5 gears you can pick up to start push your body right away:

Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar: an affordable workout bar that you can install on your door and use your own weight to push your body. It’s pretty secure and gives you some flexibility doing your moves.

Perfect Pushup: one heck of a push up tool that is much more than those regular push up bars. It engages more muscles in your body with each push up.

Valeo Dual Ab Wheel: a very affordable tool that lets you work your abs, shoulders, arms, and back at the comfort of your home. Its non-skid wheels make sure your exercise goes as smoothly as possible.

Isokinetics Inc. Pedal Exerciser: a lot of people spend hours of their time in front of their TV, just sitting on their couch. This little gadget can help you get your body moving while doing that.

TRX Suspension Training Pro Pack: a suspension training workout device that you can take with you anywhere. You can use it at home and in outdoors. You use your own body to create resistance. It can’t get simpler than that.

Have you got any suggestions? Which affordable fitness devices do you use at home?

6 Best Fan Exercise Bikes with Air Resistance

I used to wonder what gadgets top athletes use to keep themselves in shape. There is no question that these guys do a lot of weight training and other things to manage their fitness, but not everything they own is affordable enough to have at home. But one gadget that is affordable for most folks is an air exercise bike. Exercise bikes that come with air resistance are easier to maintain, and they do give you a good cardio workout as long as you are motivated enough to sit behind them. There aren’t too many of them around (as far as high quality ones are concerned), but there are enough to give you some options.

If you are looking for fan exercise bikes with air resistance, you should look no further than below:

Schwinn Airdyne Upright Exercise Bike: it’s the classic Schwinn air bike that has been around for years. Comes with a 30 year warranty that may outlast you! The harder you pedal, the more difficult it gets. It’s a wonderful dual action bike that doesn’t need too much maintenance.

Schwinn Airdyne Evo Comp Exercise Bike: it’s a dual action exercise bike with wind resistance that works both legs and upper body. A great way to get fit right at home. It won’t come cheap though.

Stamina 4525 Air Fusion Recumbent Bike: I am not a fan of recumbent bikes, but this is a cool one that combines air resistance with tension control. It is good enough to give you a killer workout as long as you don’t mind these types of bikes.

Weslo® Pursuit E25 Exercise Cycle: a lovely exercise bike that works the best in front of a TV. It doesn’t make too much noise, and it does cool you down a bit as you pedal on it. It’s very affordable as well.

Lamar Fitness Air Force Dual Action Bike: not a bad bike by any means. I like the the top two bikes better, but this one does give you upper and lower body workout. It’s still very solid and well built. It helps you track calories burned and more.

Elite Fitness Dual Action Fan Bike: a very affordable bike with fan resistance that provides you with upper body workout as well. Not the best bike around but very affordable.

Air resistant bikes are my favorite. The harder you pedal, the tougher it gets. I’d like to call it cardio on demand. So the more you want it, and the harder you push it, the more calories you burn. Can’t get better than that.

Bonus:

Stamina Air Resistance Cross Trainer: not an exercise bike per se, but it’s an affordable cross-trainer that is pretty compact and helps you get a complete workout at home.

Schwinn Airdyne Evolution vs. Schwinn Airdyne Upright

Schwinn fitness has some of the best fitness gadgets around. As someone who personally has owned and reviewed many Schwinn fitness products in the past, I can tell you that most of their fitness gadgets are well designed and of high quality. Airdyne bikes are among the best exercise bikes that I have tried. You can always go for a professional grade bike, but those are not designed to be used in a home gym. Airdyne upright bikes let you get a good cardio workout in and lose weight fast.

Schwinn has two Airdyne bike models:

Both models are designed to let you get the best workout in the shortest period of time possible. These bikes not only let you work your lower body, but they are also great for upper body workouts as well. They are not very cheap, but with the all the features that you get with these bikes, they make a great alternative to elliptical trainers.

What’s impressive about these bikes is not only the fact that they are well made but also the long term warranty that you get on these devices. So you can go on and challenge yourself and test these bikes to the limit, knowing that you are covered by Schwinn. All in all, if you are looking for a great exercise bike to get fit fast, Airdyne bikes are the best way to go.
