Buying An All In One System
These days, more and more people are turning away from gym memberships to fitness equipment and instead choosing to invest money in eqipment for fitness in the home such as a rowing machine or treadmill.
You can put a home gym in a spare corner of your home, or even in the basement if you wish. Along with helping you save money by combining several different types of fitness equipment into one machine, these types of equipment can easily fit in small spaces and take up a lot less space than their individual counterparts.
When you are considering buying an all in one piece of exercise equipment, you should first think about your goals. You should consider what you hope to achieve from exercising and just how well this piece of equipment will benefit you.
There are several types of all in one equipment for exercise on the market and almost all of them are
advertised well on television, in magazines, and on the internet. The most popular types on the market are those types that are geared towards individuals who are interested in lifting weights.
Right now, the two most popular types of all in one exercise systems are the Bowflex Home Gym and Total Gym brands. The Bowflex Home Gym system uses resistant bows that bend instead of the traditional weights that simply lift. Bowflex is designed to fit a wide variety of budgets and needs, it's widely adaptable and extremely popular as well.
With the Bowflex Xtreme for example you can perform over 60 different exercises. It has 210 pounds of resistance but you can upgrade this bowflex model to 410 pounds which is a good option because most people will find that 210 lbs is not enough, especially for leg exercises and its compact in size.
By using the Bowflex Xtreme system, you have the ability to adapt the machine to a wide variety of exercises that will work many different areas of your body.
To make things even better, you can store the basic Bowflex system in small and tight places,even under a bed if you choose. The larger and more expensive Blowflex system competes with the types of professional equipment that you can find in gyms, which allow you a quality workout on quality equipment.
The Total Gym system is great as well and with 80 exercises it's said to be like having an entire gym full of fitness equipment.
It is advertised by martial arts legend Chuck Norris and supermodel Christie Brinkley. It is less expensive than the Bowflex and uses gravity and resistance instead of traditional weights.
When you make that decision about buying an all in one exercise system, you must also decide on price, features, brand, and just who will use the machine. If your family plans to use it as
well, then you'll need to get a system that everyone will agree on. You obviously wouldn't want a machine that is too complicated for others in your home.
Even though Bowflex and Total Gym are the 2 most popular types of all in one equipment, there are
several others out there as will, from brands such as Weider and many others. Before you make your choice, you should look at several to see which one offers you more for your money.
