Elliptical Trainers and Treadmills

Are Treadmills Better Than Ellipticals?

So before you go out and buy anything ask a few questions first.

.
1. Why are you doing this? Have you got old items of exercise equipment lying at home? The reason that many people fail in their exercise programs is from lack of motivation, not due to inefficient equipment. Cheap nasty equipment will DESTROY your motivation because its uncomfortable to use

.
2. What can you afford? Rather buy a very good bike than a rickety treadmill. Don’t buy an elliptical for less than R7400 and don’t even think about a treadmill under R12 000… not ever! Cheap bargain equipment will feel different to the sturdy well built stuff you may have used at a gym. Spend a little extra and get a quality piece of equipment. It is a great investment.

.
3. Who have you been talking to? If you have not been talking to a professional with a great reputation in the industry and years of experience in training people, setting up and managing fitness facilities then it’s time to talk to me. I will help you answer all of the above questions and then provide you with the most affordable solution for you. Contact me on 071 863 73 98 or email miles@gym4me.com.

.
4. Where are you going to buy from? Many clients I deal with making their first internet purchase feel hesitant as they think that it is risky to buy from an online retailer. Some online retailers are better than others, however this is a common way of buying fitness equipment.(contact me for names of reputable online retailers serving you region). And for those people who want try the machine first; ALL exercise may feel a little uncomfortable and strange the first time. There is little to gain from trying the machine on a shop floor for five minutes

And if you are looking for a really good reason to buy online then remember; reputable Web based retailers have a far bigger range and fewer associated costs than the supermarket down the road. Call me for a list or reputable web based retailers.

.If you need assistance in answering these questions or don’t know where to start then call me on 071 863 7398 or email miles@gym4me.com

A treadmill is like a conveyor belt and with some small differences mimics a walking or running action, and yes it can, under most circumstances assist with burning “fat” (providing you don’t eat ten cream buns straight after your workout.)
An elliptical machine is named after the elliptical movement of the feet as opposed to a stepper which is up and down and a treadmill which is forward in a type of arc but after landing on the belt creates a straight line back until the rear foot is lifted once again and brought forward.

When you should look at an Elliptical instead of a Treadmill

1. Cost. Elliptical are cheaper than treadmills. An entry level quality treadmill for home use will cost you around R9500. An elliptical of equal quality will cost R6900.

.
2. Knee injuries, running related injuries, shin splints, are indications that you should try a different movement such as an elliptical.

.
3. You have a Treadmill in your home gym already and want to add another angle to the workout.

.
4. You want to exercise upper body and lower body. Most Ellipticals have handles which exercise the arms, back and chest. Keep in mind that most people do NOT use the handles on a regular basis.

.
5. If you get bored quickly then the elliptical offers more variety to your workout. You can pedal forwards, backwards and use the arms. It is possible to target different muscle groups with the different actions.

.
6. You don’t like walking or running. Most people however do find walking easy. When you begin an exercise routine make everything as easy as possible during you workouts. Tricky uncomfortable machines may make you head for the couch instead of the workout room. Spinning is another option.

.
7. Very heavy, obese or overweight people may find less strain on their joints, feet and back. However the elliptical movement itself can still be very difficult for an overweight person. Most treadmills do however have very effective cushioning and flexible decks. Running on a treadmill is nothing like running on the road.

.
So, all things being equal, and especially as a new comer to the home exercise team, Buy a treadmill first.

In conclusion I would like to remind you of an important fact of life. Maintaining an exercise program is sometimes difficult and I advise that you remove all of the potential obstacles. Invest correctly in your home gym, make it look nice, smell nice, sound nice and buy equipment which motivates you and makes you want to come back for another workout.

If you are ready to make the next move call me for more details on reputable online vendors or for advice as to the best way to get you body and your fitness back to where it should be

I get a lot of people calling me because they are undecided in terms of the treadmill they should be buying. Here are five things I would ask:

So I would assume that you have shopped around, got some prices, set your budget, and now you are ready to make that decision. What should you be asking especially when comparing those last options?

1. Have you checked the available space at your house? Power points, ventilation etc. Do you have limited space? Don’t despair; look at Folding treadmills instead of smaller treadmills.

2. When do you want it? Does the company have stock? When you get that motivation to buy then you want to GET THAT TREADMILL NOW! Call me for availability of treadmills throughout South Africa. 071 863 7398 or email fitness@gym4me.com

3. Spares and servicing and how reputable is the manufacturer. The country is littered with “good deals” Treadmills brought over as once off purchases and sold off by shady operators. That’s why I say never buy a second hand treadmill and do your homework. Contact me to learn more about reputable vendors in South Africa.

4. What else does the company do? Is this a company committed to the Health and Fitness industry? There are only two basic categories of treadmills, those that are backed up and those that are not. I know all of the companies who DO offer the right service. Contact me and I will gladly share my information.

5. Are you ready to DO IT NOW? Motivation means to move. You have taken your investigations this far,

you have the information you have the desire to make changes in your life, all that you might lack is that motivation to make it happen.

It’s that last thing that holds us all back: “procrastination”. Well let me tell you a little story about procrastination and why I don’t procrastinate any more.

Three years ago a friend of mine walked into a nightclub and dropped dead of a heart attack. He was 46 years old and had been planning to get back into the gym for quite some time.
He had also been experiencing some shortness of breath and chest cramps and he was definitely going to see the Dr some time soon.

Now I can’t speak for all of you reading this but what I can say is this; if you make the decision today, to move ahead and start your exercise program, buy your equipment, or just make some changes to your lives then you are one in 1000 people that will do it.
That’s right, 999 people on average will procrastinate and the good intentions will remain nothing but good intentions. Had my friend gone to the GP about his chest pains the week before then he may still be here.
Had my friend started his exercise program when we had started talking about it more than a year previously then he may still be with us.
Of course some of you may be saying that he may have died anyway, and of course you would be right by saying that. That is the voice that makes us procrastinate, the one that says, it won’t happen to me. I can browse the web for a treadmill for another week…month…year… I have forever… You don’t have forever

YES you can put half an hour to one side three times per week to use it
YES you can get that younger, leaner body back
YES you can have all of the energy and fitness levels back that you had in your youth.
YES exercise will add years to your life and life to your years

The only questions that YOU need to answer is this. Are you prepared to put in some effort and spend R10 per day to be able to use a decent treadmill?

If you have read up to here then its time to TAKE ACTION. Stop looking for reasons to leave it another year.
In the famous words of Edward Stanley : “Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness”

Not that much it turns out. Especially considering that you will be one of the people who are going to use it and get all of the resultant benefits! Keep reading my posts and I will keep you motivated and educated in the ways of health and fitness

How much does a treadmill cost?

Well let’s take the example of a treadmill costing R14 500. No it’s not the cheapest treadmill I can offer you.
Yes, I know you wanted the cheapest treadmill in the world for R5 000. Well that one is over there in the corner, that’s right next to the new Plasma TV for R500. That’s right, being used by the jittery brain surgeon who offers discounts if he can operate on three people at the same time. Now he can offer you a cheap deal!
Have I made my point on cheap stuff in general?
Let’s get real for a minute. Buy something that you will ENJOY and love training on. Something that will keep you coming back for more. Spoil yourself. Use the similar criteria to those that you use when buying a car.
A good treadmill at a price point of R14 500 will last you about five years. It’s a capital purchase like a car. By the way on average we replace cell phones every two years at an average real cost of R5000. And No, you don’t really get it for free, and NO you don’t need all of the features
So here is the comparison.
Treadmill …………………………..R8       per day                  R14 500      total over 5 years
1 packet Cigarettes                        R10      per day                 R18 000   total over 5 years
1 Coffee Per day                            R10       per day                R18 000    total over 5 years
Gym membership (Virgin) ………R13      per day                R24 000    total over 5 years
15 km return drive                            R24      per day                 R43 200    total over 5 years
30 minutes on cell every day         R60     per day                R108 000   total over 5 years
YES, You can afford to buy something that is good for you by cutting back on other, sometimes needless expenses.
Some purchases like houses and cars need to be put into perspective and seen as part of a monthly budget.
Exercise equipment is no exception.

From Nursery schools, hair dressers, beauty salons and physiotherapists, NLP therapists, hypno-therapists, and Dr’s practices.

If you are looking at setting up a home gym and are already running small business from home and have captive clients base why not think about starting up a small home based gym for your clients?
Recent research has shown that more and more gym members are looking for convenience and will happily sacrifice the glamour of big busy fancy gyms.

How difficult is it?

With the right advice and a short personalised business plan it can be very easy.
There are many personal trainers and bikineticists looking for an opportunity to become involved in training clients. So by you providing a small capital injection and space and the personal trainer providing expertise then you have a perfect win-win situation.
The following are some examples of existing businesses who have simply added a small personal training or gym training area.

• Hair dressers
• Beauty therapists
• Nursery schools
• Martial Arts schools
• Private Schools
• Dance studios

All of the above have clients coming to see them at some stage during the day anyway
How much would it cost?

Well let’s look at that in context, how much could you make in a small gym layout that could go into 50 to 60 square meters.

A monthly income R15 000 to R30 000 per month plus a payment from a personal trainer to use the facility. That means R20 000 to R35 000 per month turnover.
Costs of equipment, repairs and maintenance no more than R5000 per month over 60 months.
Bear in mind that this type of add on facility would have a very positive knock on effect on your primary business.

So for a start of a small home based gym for less than R200 000, including business plan.

See examples on Gyms in South Africa at http://gyms.gym4me.com/

Does that sound like something that would interest you?
Why not contact me to discuss your situation and let me draw up a customised business plan for you and supply you with some of the best quality and most affordable commercial and semi-commercial equipment available.

Well, as you all know I am some what of a holistic and pragmatic thinker. (What on earth does that mean?) Bear with me, the writing style calms down a bit after the early morning coffee wears off!

That means that I realised many years ago that “paper theory” and practise in the gym are very separate matters. That’s why so many of you (the client) and us, (exercise professionals) just didn’t get the results we were after.
I also realise that if the average de-conditioned member does not enjoy the exercise that they are doing then they will not continue training. It’s as simple as that. All of the best intentions in the world and all of the goal setting mean nothing if you don’t start having fun in the gym or your home gym.
The primary reason why a treadmill workout is effective is that the movement is natural and easy to perform. Sometimes this makes it potentially dangerous as we recall (some 20 years ago) how we used to run for that rugby ball! If you have been out o condition for a few years then remember, “superman does not live here anymore”.

As exercise professionals we are always looking for ways to make exercise more comfortable and inviting for our clients. A treadmill is a really easy way to get back into a light exercise routine as you as a client do not have to think too much about the movement.
So how do we make the treadmill workout more effective?

1. Choose the right machine. (here he goes again!). Yes you are right! I am going to make this point again.

Buy a cheap nasty unit and you won’t use it. If you have been out of training for a while then make this as enjoyable and inviting as possible. Spoil yourself. Buy the expensive treadmill, why not? We always support the expensive car purchase by telling our selves that it is good quality, will have a better resale value and that it will motivate us to drive a nice car. Well the same thing applies to exercise equipment.

Get something nice and not only will you want to get out of bed and use it, but you will want to show your friends, they might come around and use it and before long you have a group of people training at the house and you put money into a kitty and buy more equipment and hey presto, you have small community gym rocking and rolling at your house. (See my blog on gyms and mixed businesses.) Motivation is King and good friends motivate.

2. Choose the right shoes, as well as the right type of clothing. Yes, buy a running shoe, and put those Crocs away for goodness sake. What were you thinking?

3. Consider your fitness levels. Have you been away from exercise for more than a few months? See point 10. Remember that exercise creates changes in your body and metabolism that are good for you.

Overtraining, however will run your body down and take down your immunity levels. What is a light workout for a Marathon runner may be deadly for you. Take it easy.

4. Consider your weight. Walking and running are very natural movements, however your weight may have increased since you were at school. Very heavy people should consider some alternatives before running on a treadmill.

5. Consider any injuries. Do you have some niggles? Old injuries? Don’t make them worse. Go and see your GP and ask to be referred to a biokineticist or physiotherapist for a monitored program. If you have a pre existing injury then I would always suggest specialised medical help first for a diagnosis, then a personal trainer afterwards.

6. Keeping an eye on the heart rate. I will deal with different types of workout later this week, however if you are serious about your health and fitness levels then you should have a mobile heart rate monitor and chest strap.

Do not rely on contact heart rate monitors on the treadmills. I train on a treadmill that costs over R100 000 and the contact heart rate does not work correctly. It’s the technology, not the quality of the treadmill. Anyway your mobile heart rate and strap can be used for swimming and walks.

7. Design your own programs. It’s easy. Remember that simple features on a treadmill often means that you can get a unit with great fundamentals and cheaper electronics.

Although it may be convenient to have a fat burn and sprint program on the treadmill, nothing beats being able to design your own program simply using the speed and elevation settings.

Watch this space for more on designing your own program. Or contact me for telephone or email consultation ion 071 863 7398 or miles@gym4me.com

8. Correct planning of your exercise schedule. Get into the habit of training at the same time every day. Some research has shown that you burn more fat when you train in the morning, however it’s more important to train when you have energy and when you will enjoy the workout. A large portion of exercise results are dependent on motivation. If you need help with understanding motivation see some sites on NLP.

9. If you feel dizzy, uncomfortable, short of breath, or in any way “unwell”. Stop the unit and consult your Dr. If you train on your own, let people know where you are and what time you expect to finish. And to all you youngster having a laugh out there, it can happen to the fittest of people that they slip and fall and are not found because they went to work out in their basement gym.

10. No injuries? No niggles? No health problems? Have a check-up anyway. You would be surprised at how much your GP can pick up from a check up. Gym4me.com is all about wellness and enjoying a long and fruitful life. Let your GP tell you that you see him too much rather than being told that he could have helped has you come sooner.
So in South Africa what makes should you be looking at that have the golden three features? (Price, Product and Back up)

There are a few brands in South Africa that meet the criteria. Contact me and I shall forward you prices lists and recommendations for your needs. Alternatively if you would like to contact the suppliers directly then contact me and I shall forward their details to you.
I will be posting some specific workouts and examples later this week, so watch this space.
