Kathy Smith - Power Step Workout [VHS]
List Price:  |
Description"It's fun, it's exciting, you burn lots of calories and fat, and you tone your hips and legs," Kathy Smith says about aerobic stepping. This workout uses "power stepping," adding jumping and hopping to the regular low-impact step aerobics. You can do the workout without the power moves if you're a beginner, or add in some of the power moves appropriate to your fitness level, or--if you're advanced--use all the power moves for a high-intensity workout. Smith teaches a solid 8-minute warm-up plus three 12-minute aerobic segments, each progressing in difficulty, ending with a 5-minute cool down and stretch. Depending on your time and ability, you can do one, two, or all three aerobic segments. Her assistants demonstrate varying intensities and modifications, so you always have someone to follow, whatever your level. The moves are more athletic than dancey; even in the most difficult segment, there's no super-complex choreography. This is a versatile workout that you can instantly adapt to your own level. It is especially appropriate if you have roommates or family members of different fitness levels who want to do the same workout. --Joan Price |

Now you can enjoy a full cardio workout in the comfort of your home or office with this compact elliptical trainer from Stamina Products. Unlike full-size ellipticals, this trainer doesn't have arms or a front console. Instead, the trainer is essentially foot pedals only, with a chassis that's small enough to store under a desk or in a closet. Despite the small size, the trainer still packs a workout wallop, letting you burn a similar number of calories as jogging but without the risk of injury to the back, knees, hips, or ankles. Just keep your feet moving on the pedals--which continually oscillate in a low-impact manner--and you're set. Other details include sturdy steel construction, non-slip pedals, and an electronic fitness monitor that tracks the number of strides per minute, total number of strides, exercise time, and calories burned. About Elliptical Trainers Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips. Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home. Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

Exercise has been proven to increase overall health, give one more energy and longevity. In today's fast paced world, people are turning more and more to using exercise machines to maintain their bodies. Some go to gyms where they have access to a wide variety of machines and experienced instructors while still others opt to look for something at home so that they won't have to be confined to the gym club hours.
Exercise Machines
Exercise machines typically utilize resistance to strengthen and tone your muscles. The following methods are typically used in accomplishing this type of resistance: pulleys, cables, belts, weights, gravity and even wind. Resistance exercise is a method of forcing your muscles to contract against increasing resistance levels in order to tone and strengthen them.
Also by increasing repetitions and length of time spent, you're increasing your metabolism which burns fat in the body. There are many different types of machines that accomplish different goals and you would do well to know exactly what kind of results you are looking for before investing in a machine.
Treadmills, exercise bikes, Rowing machines and stair steppers are some examples of exercise machines that provide aerobic exercise. Aerobic is basically cardiovascular training which increases your heart rate, metabolism and burns fat. These machines will increase overall tone, fitness and energy.
Barbells, weight benches, home gyms are designed to focus on muscle tone and strength building on specific areas of the body. These work by increasing repetitions and weight over time to build up and tone muscle mass. Typically one should include something from both the aerobic and weight training groups to achieve the ideal body fitness.
How to choose the right equipment
With time demands and varying schedules that people have today, more and more are turning to home fitness equipments to maintain their exercise schedules. Here is some of the equipment on the market and their features.
Treadmills These range from a simple manual design which works by using your own foot pressure on the belt to move it along in a walking or running position to the powered treadmills which use electricity to help move the belt along at a quicker pace forcing you work harder to keep up. These machines come with a variety of programs that vary the workout to keep it from becoming tedious. Another thing to look for would be a digital display that shows calories burned, miles worked, time spent, etc.
Exercise Bikes These come in a variety of forms and their main goal is to increase cardiovascular fitness along with working the main muscle groups in the legs. Typically they're manually operated and utilize various types of resistance force.
Rowing Machines This is a good low-impact workout which works evenly over the three muscle groups, torso, legs and arms. It stimulates the act of rowing a boat.
Stair Steppers These machines focus on working the leg muscle group and are also low-impact.
Many of the above equipments have the option of coming with moveable handgrips for working the upper body and are foldable in such a way that they can be stored in a small area out of the way.
Barbells and Weight benches Less expensive than the cost of a home gym. These allow you to utilize resistance training by simply using your own body and weights. These can also be stored in a small area of your home.
Home gyms These are typically large and bulky but they're designed to incorporate several of the exercise machines found in gyms. You'll be able to perform several quality exercises such as pull downs, presses, arm curls and leg squats around a central unit holding bars of weights and cables.
With all the options available for maintaining good health and energy today, there's really no excuse not to stay healthy and fit.
