Aerobic Conditioning
Aerobic exercise consists of movement that is rhythmic and continuous in nature, and uses the large muscle groups of the body (such as the hips, legs and arms). Using large muscle groups is the key. For example, pumping your channel changer or chewing gum can be rhythmic and continuous, but will not give you the aerobic workout you need. This movement must also be sustained for a period of time. |
Trekking and Power Walking
 Vigorous walking, with or without trekking poles, is a great way to burn calories
and tone the muscles of your hips, thighs and lower legs. If you are walking
on a treadmill, it is not recommended that you use trekking poles. Use of the
poles should be reserved for outdoor terrain.
Tips:
Lift your toes as you step forward into a stride. Then, roll from heel to toe,
and push off the ball of the foot. You should not hear a pounding or slapping
sound when you walk. Keep your gait smooth and fluid. Maintain your natural
stride length. Extra-long strides will slow you down and cause poor posture. |
Take A Walk On The Wild Side
One of the hottest trends to sweep fitness clubs is "Trekking" It is an innovative cardiovascular exercise program, which uses either treadmill
training or outdoor workouts to increase both your fitness level and your fun. |
How to Buy a Treadmill

this way is often recommended by doctors and fitness experts. Walking or running
on a treadmill has become one of the easiest and most popular ways to stay fit
and healthy.
