A good treadmill exercise routine is primarily to workout your cardio vascular system. It helps to strengthen your heart, improve blood circulation, and maintain heart pressure. In fact, numerous studies have confirmed that walking is one of the best exercises you can do for your body, especially when it’s part of a regular routine.

Using an exercise routine shouldn’t steal too much time from your day, certainly no more than thiry to sixty minutes. It’s not necessary to over do it. Thirty minutes of cardio work three times a week is considered very beneficial for your heart.

A balanced treadmill exercise routine might involve a power mix, some hill climbs, speed intervals, as well as unique strength moves.

For example, your routine may span 12 weeks and have varying exercises planned for different days and weeks. Mondays could be reserved for cardio walks in the first week, with a strength move added into week five. Your Tuesdays might focus on speed intervals throughout the 12 week routine, and then Wednesdays return again to cardio walks.

You might use Thursdays for incline intervals, and on Fridays, during the first four weeks, you might rest. After that, you might start up your cardio walks and strength moves again. Then on Saturdays you could do power mixes while on Sundays, you rest again.

Of course, this is a sample routine. The point is that you’ll want to incorporate a variety of exercises into your routine. You’ll also want to find a routine that’s comfortable for both your fitness level and your lifestyle.

While an exercise routine does not ensure that you’ll live longer, it certainly helps keep you in shape and enjoying a healthier, more active life.

Every year the market is flooded with new home fitness equipment. The key question to ask when trying to make a decision about which home fitness equipment is right for you is this: what are the results I’m after? By answering this question honestly, you should be able to determine if you need weight-lifting equipment or cardiovascular equipment.

Aerobic or Anaerobic?

Once you’ve decided whether you want to focus your workouts on your heart or on building muscle, you can move on to further narrowing your choices. A list of possible pieces of equipment for home fitness to help with your heart conditioning are: treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes (spinning style), stair-steppers and the versatile Bowflex TreadClimber TC5300.

Each of these will serve your home training routines well, save you regular trips to the gym, and allow you to shower in the comfort and privacy of your own bathroom after your workout.

Fitness equipment designed to help you build your muscle tone generally centers weights and weight-lifting benches, and more elaborate but effective Bowflex machines. Other home fitness programs, which are less effective in terms of building large muscles but often preferred by women, are yoga (total body muscle gain), the stair stepper (legs and buttocks muscles) and the stationery bike on interval training (primarily thigh muscles).

These alternatives to traditional weight-lifting appeal to women primarily because they allow for weight loss without adding the bulk that develops with so many other forms of exercise.
