Treadmills
Running is one of the most popular exercises and running on a treadmill is becoming increasingly popular in the home. Running on a treadmill can be used to simulate running outside, but with several advantages- Little Air Pollution
- No need to stop for traffic or roads
- Lower impact due to the cushioning of the deck
Cross Trainers
Cross Trainers or ellipticals are becoming more and more popular. Cross Trainers have the advantage of being excellent cardiovascular exercise and good for fat burning, but at the same time, reducing the amount of impact upon the body, meaning a reduction in the chance of sustaining an injury. A cross trainer is an exercise that simulates running, but rather than the foot making a heavy impact with the ground, the foot stays attached to the plate, and moves in an elliptical pattern, reducing the chance of impact injury. Some cross trainers will come with the ability to create exercise programmes, changing the resistance, making the workout more interesting and useful. We stock elliptical cross trainers from all the major manufacturers including Proform, Nordic Track, Health Rider and Weslo.
