What is the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels? Walking can answer that question! As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

Many treadmills offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting cardiovascular benefits without requiring a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

J.K. Albert said that Tony Horton's 10 MINUTE TRAINER is a great program. Tony Horton's 10 MINUTE TRAINER gets you up and moving quickly but sometimes a little too fast! J.K. Albert said:

He doesn't take the time to explain or properly show or demonstrate the moves before doing them so the first few times of watching and working out to the videos were a bit difficult but it gets easier and you can catch on in a fairly quick manner. I do suggest only viewing the program first before popping the disc in and getting started right away.

I feel like it is a great workout! I love it because I am short on time. I do a different work out every morning. As for the person who gave it a bad review because she/he got charged even though they didn't proceed to purchase...I don't get it. I ordered online and you have to actually enter all of your billing info. If you didn't want to purchase why did you bother doing all of the billing info.? Anyway...why don't you just try the system..it is great! Sorry you had a bad experience with purchase.

The Purposeful Primitive: Using the Primordial Laws of Fitness to Trigger Inevitable, Lasting and Dramatic Physical Change

The Purposeful Primitive: Using the Primordial Laws of Fitness to Trigger Inevitable, Lasting and Dramatic Physical Change is hot new release fitness book on June 2008. This fitness book is published by Dragon Door Publications. This hot new release book is authored by Marty Gallagher.


Dr. Bob Ward, Sports Science Network, ask us to add The Purposeful Primitive to our training library if we want to achieve something great in our life. He also give a comment for this fitness book.

Marty does a wonderful job bringing out the art and science of training, extracting many of the critical universal and specific principles (guiding rules to action social, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual) that are applicable to living a productive life in general, and in training for health, fitness and sport, specifically. In addition, I like the way Marty personalizes the lives of outstanding athletes and shows how they applied these fundamental, can't-miss principles in their training to help them become the best they could be in their sport.

Dr. Judd Biasiotto would venture to say that he have read every book pertaining to weightlifting over the last three decades, and Dr. Judd Biasiotto has probably read the majority of the articles in this area. There are two things Dr. Judd Biasiotto can say unequivocally about what he has read. One, Marty Gallagher is the best writer in the world of physical fitness and strength, bar none, and two, Gallagher s newest book The Purposeful Primitive is the best manuscript ever produced in this field.

In a review for a previous product, President Kang stated there are 3 books he considered indespensible in his workout library. Now there are four. Presidebt Kang said that this book is worth the purchase for the section on the Iron Masters alone. When you add in the different approaches to lifting for strength and power, the psycology of working out, the cardio and diet sections, and all the little essays that give us a look into the "Purposeful Primitive", you have a book that is one of the best books for approaching getting the best out of your body. The book almost reads like an Anthony Robbins book on NLP - here are the masters, here is how they worked out, here was their psycology, here is how you can apply it to yourself.

R.Dorf also give a review about this fitness book. In his opinions,"The Purposeful Primitive: Using the Primordial Laws of Fitness to Trigger Inevitable, Lasting and Dramatic Physical Change" is a book on the crossroads of bodybuilding, power-lifting, and fat loss, by an accomplished lifter, coach and writer with over forty years of experience in the game. "The Purposeful Primitive: Using the Primordial Laws of Fitness to Trigger Inevitable, Lasting and Dramatic Physical Change" is still of great value and well worth purchasing. If you're interested in a slice of Iron History, or a beginner looking for a guide to body transformation, go get it.

BodyMinder Workout and Exercise Journal

BodyMinder Workout and Exercise Journal is published by MemoryMinder Journals, Inc. on January 1, 2007.
Muscle Mag International, June 2003
The BodyMinder (pictured) has spacious daily pages for tracking reps, sets, etc.

Short Hairstyles, September 2003
The BodyMinder helps by encouraging you to record your exercise...meet your fitness goals once and for all!

When research into the Amazon search feature shows an old edition. After the purchase, we have seen some improvements have been made.

In particular, a diet section now includes boxes for breakfast snack-lunch-dinner snack snack. This corresponds to the person following a regime that requires them to eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of the old standard of 3 meals. To make room for it, the Other exercise "has been somewhat diminished. Instead of having checkboxes great for various activities such as gardening and yoga (which was a waste of space to people who did not use them), there are now 5 blank lines where you can write in your own activities, whatever they may be May.

The cardio section has also been revised. The cross-country skier and jump rope have been removed, but there are three blank lines where we could add if they want.

Anyway, I would say that it was already an excellent product, and it is good to know that improves with time. Here are some things that I like compared to other magazines I looked at training.
-- I like that it is both a workout and food journal and gives plenty of space for both. It is important to pay attention both to obtain and keep in shape.
-- I like it a lot of lines for the weight training exercises. Others have not been fairly close to my needs.
-- Other magazines We've looked at have much smaller spaces for writing in.
-- Some newspapers have pictures on the cover of fitness models. I do not want to wear something in the gym that looks like the cover of a lady fitness magazine or a male muscle magazine. I prefer the conservative faux leather look of the magazine.
-- The spiral-bound to ask flat for easy use.
-- I found the short section of food preservation account within reach. Better still, they left the space where I could add my own food.
-- The introduction is helpful, but brief. It tells you how to use the newspaper. He did not say how you work.
-- He has a good section on planning weekly at the beginning and the goals of advancement, at the end.
-- The schedule at the back is handy for reference.

I will certainly buy this one again when I filled all day.

Fit and Female: The Perfect Fitness and Nutrition Game Plan for Your Unique Body Type

If you are looking for a fitness book that will tell you what to eat and how to exercise in order to get a super-muscular body, or a super-thin model-type body, then look elsewhere. This is not a book about diet and exercise, but about learning to accept and take care of your body, no matter the shape and size. That said, there are exercises designed for each body type, as well as nutrition and eating advice.

Now we have all heard the message that we should love our body, no matter what, and certainly there are lots of fitness books out there with the same message. So what makes Geralyn's book different from all the rest? It's because she's lived through the same struggles as the average woman. When a genetically-blessed woman tells you that you should accept your body, you probably think "Yeah, it's easy for her to say because she has the perfect body." And consequently, we never really listen to the message and reflect on what it means. However, coming from Geralyn, the message hits home because she has suffered the same weight issues as many of us. I was able to relate to Geralyn's message, because her struggles really mimicked my own. I've struggled to accept myself almost my entire life, and despite being an avid runner and very healthy, I still have a hard time with self-acceptance. Knowing that Geralyn was able to overcome her issues and find self-love and self-acceptance is a real inspiration. I think if someone had told me these things many years ago, it would have saved me a lot of suffering.

You may think that the motivational part of the fitness book is too long, but I think Geralyn is on to something. Unless you can first accept your body the way it is now, no matter how much you exercise and diet, it is unlikely that you will be happy with your body no matter how fit and/or thin you may become.

Turning to the exercise portion of the fitness book, you first have to determine your unique body type (e.g. ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph, and apple or pear). Of course, hardly anyone fits neatly into one category, but chances are you are predominantly one type. Once you know what "type" you are, Geralyn recommends certain cardio and strength training exercises, which are supposed to be optimal for your type. Recognizing that fitness has to fit a woman's schedule, she also tells you how many repetitions and sets you need to do, based on the amount of time you have (bare minimum, ideal, and gung-ho). Now, I've been running for over 5 years and have consistently strength trained, so when I saw the strength training exercises Geralyn recommended, I didn't think I'd derive much benefit. Boy, was I wrong! I did the gung-ho workout (most repetitions and sets) and my muscles hurt for TWO straight days!

In terms of eating, Geralyn teaches you to have a healthy relation with food. She cautions against mindless eating, urges proper nutrition, and details eating tips for each body type. Again, what makes her message powerful (because who hasn't already heard about the dangers of mindless eating?) is that she has gone through this herself.

To conclude, I highly recommend this fitness book. Whether you are struggling with your body image, are just beginning to make the decision to love your body, or already wholly accept yourself (and kudos to you if you do!), you should read this fitness book. It is truly enjoyable, powerful, and liberating. Keep in mind that changing your self-perception does not happen overnight, especially if you've had a negative image about yourself for many years (or your whole life, in my case). But with this fitness book and the right attitude, you can begin the journey to a happier, and healthier you.

Accu-Measure Fitness 3000 Personal Body Fat Tester

This little plastic product is so quick and easy to measure your body fat percentage that you almost feel like it can't be that accurate.

But just for kicks you had my body fat measured with one of those fancy electronic machines several times before using the Accu-Measure calipers.

The average of three readings for the electronic device was 26% body fat while the Accu-Measure showed 25.5%. Not bad considering this product is a whole heck of a lot CHEAPER than the electronic body fat machines. Accu-Measure calipers will help you track your progress. VERY affordable and they REALLY work!

Encyclopedia of Sports and Fitness Nutrition

L. Hom "lhom1" (San Diego, CA) purchased this fitness book as a "sequel" to another Liz Applegate book, Eat Smart, Play Hard. Encyclopedia of Sports and Fitness Nutrition is a must read fitness book for anyone interested in performing his/her best at a favorite physical fitness or simply desiring a more healthy lifestyle. Since making a few changes to my diet L.Hom has fat loss and improved his performance during his endurance workouts. What you eat and when you eat it truly matters. Like anything else, there is no magic here. You will not instantly smoke all your buddies on your next group bike ride if you make some changes to your diet. However, you can maximize your current abilities and set the stage for more physical gains. I have never felt better both during and post exercise. No fad diets will be found here. What you will find is a common sense approach to a healthy lifestyle that is centered around healthy eating and exercise. Ms. Applegate is both encouraging of a healthy diet and realistic enough to know people need to have "comfort" foods every once in awhile. This fitness book stands above the "fad diet of the week" chaos cluttering the bookstores.
