The main gym area offers a range of cardio vascular equipment including:
Exercise Bikes
Exercise bikes provide a low impact cardio vascular workout. They have been a long term favourite with physiotherapists, as the low impact movement involved in operating an exercise bike does not put much stress on your joints. Exercise bikes are also great for toning your legs, simply add more resistance to simulate your leg muscles.
- Recumbent exercise bikes (horizontal position) provide a low impact cardio workout and have the benefit of a large comfortable seat. Recumbent exercise bikes reduce the stress on your knees as your legs are horizontal. The comfortable exercising position of recumbent exercise bikes encourages you to exercise for longer periods. Another benefit of the recumbent design is that it works your glutes more than an upright bike and you can easily read a book whilst working out.
Life Fitness Treadmills
Suitable for anyone who is overweight, unfit or convalescing. Long brisk walks are highly efficient for weight-loss when combined with lighter diet. With a monitor for speed, calories, distance travelled, time elapsed, and calorie burn, various speeds available, starting at 4mph and rising to 0 - 14mph, and various options for using on an incline.
The Heart Rate Control feature measures your pulse & automatically adjusts the incline & speed until you match your target heart rate. You can use targeted and personalised programmes to obtain the physique you want whilst gaining maximum benefits for your health.
Cross Trainers
Elliptical trainers also known as cross trainers provide an easy low impact cardio vascular workout. Elliptical trainers are a great low impact choice for those with knee or hip problems, the elderly or even rehabilitation patients. The dual action upper body arms ensure you are getting a general total body workout.
Concept Rowers
Rowing machines provide a complete form of exercise. Rowing provides a combination of cardiovascular and strength conditioning. Using a rowing machine uses up to 84% of your muscles and will help tone your body. Rowing is weight supporting and so is ideal for people of all ages and conditions. Rowing provides a good aerobic workout and can be a very effective fat burner, helping with weight loss.
All of these machines are simply great for burning those calories and improving fitness levels.
