Exercise Equipment Tips

The more you want to use it, the more we would recommend that you go for high quality treadmills.

When you understand the basics of a quality treadmill, then it will be easy to find one that is perfect for your home and budget.

Long or short workouts determine the quality of motor you need for your treadmill.

I usually end my treadmill routine with about 15 minutes of quality stretching.

Researches have shown, that during exercising most people forget to breath deeply or they are unable to integrate their breathing pattern with the exercises causing them muscle pain and fatigue after the workout.

Vote in This Week's Poll: What confuses you the most about exercise?
If you don't know what you're doing, exercise can be a confusing prospect. Case in point, I've been getting emails from one confused beginner for years, asking questions about different aspects of training. In all this time, he's been so paralyzed by indecision and so afraid of doing the wrong thing that he hasn't actually started exercising yet.

That's an extreme case, but I've worked with other clients who've been just as confused and ended up doing what, to them, made the most sense. One client wanted to tone her backside and did more than 100 squats every day, something that might have caused injuries and overtraining symptoms over time. Another client's workout involved doing 200 crunches every day to get flat abs, never realizing that he could've been using his energy in a more effective way.

I'm curious about you. What confuses you the most about exercise? Do you struggle to figure out how much to exercise or how to fit everything into your schedule? Maybe you're not sure about the best strength exercises to do or how hard you should be working. Vote in this week's poll and leave a comment telling us about your exercise confusion.

4 Things You Don't Know About Weight Loss
The single most common question I get (aside from "How do I get flat abs?") is: "Why am I not losing weight?" Since the ESP nodule located in my forehead doesn't always work when I want it to, I don't have a good answer to this question. It may be because they're eating too much, not exercising enough, or both. It could be a medical problem, a mental issue or the fact that they aren't holding their mouths right.

The simple answer is that weight loss problems are usually the result of a calorie-in/calorie-out problem, but what you may not realize is that there could be a different way to look at things, a way that may make you more successful. That's what I'm talking about in my latest article, 4 things to look into if you're frustrated with your lack of progress. They not be things you've considered before, such as ditching the scale, reevaluating those weight loss calculators you're using or even forgetting about weight loss altogether. Yes, I said it and I'm not taking it back.

Check it out and leave your own comments about your weight loss experiences. Did you find success by focusing less on the scale and more on your health? Have you found a way around weight loss frustration? Tell us about it!

Vote in This Week's Poll: Did you eat too much over the 4th of July?
The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays and not just because of the endless supply of beer and barbecue (although that's a nice plus). Not only do we get to celebrate our independence, we get a day off to go outside and play. You can't beat that with a stick, although the food hangover the next day can be brutal.

I did okay this year, but what about you? Did you overdo it? Vote in this week's poll and tell us if you overate this weekend.

Reader Success Story - Lunchtime Workouts
Lunchtime workouts aren't the easiest to squeeze in and the logistics can be maddening - What will you do in such a short period of time? Can you really make it back to the office without smelling like a sweaty mess?

One About.com member has found a way. As Occasional Lunchtime Exerciser says, "About once or twice a week, I exercise during my lunch hour. It's a great change from my morning workouts and gives me energy for the rest of the day."

So, how does she manage it? She has it down to a science, focusing on interval training or circuit training to get the most out of her limited time. She rinses off, fluffs her hair and gets back to the office within her allotted time. Impressive!

She also offers some great suggestions for how to make lunchtime workouts easier. Check out the rest of her story and share your own, if you've got one. Do you ever do lunchtime workouts? If so, how do you manage it?
