Get Up and Go

How many of you take the elevator when the stairs are equally as readily accessible? How many drive the car two blocks to the convenience store for a liter of milk?

How many still find it’s not you walking the dog, but rather the dog walking you?

The majority of North Americans lead an overly-sedentary lifestyle. What’s more, the demands on our time and resources are growing exponentially almost daily and we have less and less of both to devote to changing this unfortunate reality. Diet is a contributing factor to many people’s lack of fitness and less-than-ideal physiques that can be adjusted easily. Finding a segment of the day and the initiative to make one’s way to the gym can be decidedly more challenging.

Further, many people find a crowded gym to be full of judgmental eyes and as much a young-persons social scene as a fitness center. Add obnoxious nightclub music and TVs in every direction, and many simply find the gym is not conducive to their focusing on an effective workout.

Enter the rise in home gyms and home fitness equipment. For those who either chose to or needed to exercise at home, these products were well-received and accordingly introduced to the market in waves. Some were well-made, some were decidedly poorly made. While the ones that came into your living room via infomercial night after night were usually shoddy, the quality products all shared one characteristic; they were expensive.

Times change, and so has what you should expect to pay for quality home fitness equipment. For those who have made a resolution to pursue a greater sense of health, strength and well-being, a visit to www.fitnessequipmentselect.com is recommended. They feature one of the largest selections of fitness equipment online, and all at the same competitive pricing that you can expect of a Cymax Stores specialty site.

For those who wish to tighten or pump up long-neglected muscles, one of the many Phoenix Health or Keiser benches or strength machines is an excellent choice for those who have the space to accommodate these quality-made units. For others who are more in need of shedding pounds and getting a great full-body workout, a Multisports Fitness Elliptical will work both the upper and lower body and not your wallet. A Phoenix Health Treadmill is equally good value and a similar means of getting a solid aerobic workout at home.

Ever been cross-country skiing? If you have, you’ll remember the day after your first time traversing the hills and how your gluteus was so sore you could hardly walk right. Imagine capturing that tush-toning power in an exercise machine. That’s exactly what’s yours for the taking with a stepper from Fitness Equipment Select. These compact exercise machines are a godsend for your lower body and are particularly popular with women.

If you’re still drawn to the AB-Ressurectifier on Channel 132, so be it. However, you may want to consider that Fitness Equipment Select offers free shipping of its quality products straight to your door. Now, you may not be able to lift the box up the stairs YET, but we’ll check back with you in 6 months.
