For decades, health experts have been alerting individuals about the benefits of regular exercise and promoting home exercise equipment for many people to use to begin their exercise routines. Many people would like to purchase a home fitness training system but are confused about how often this equipment should be used and how long each workout session should last. The ultimate decision on how often a workout done on a home fitness training system should be completed will depend mainly on the person’s health but there are some other guidelines that should be followed as well to make sure that you are getting the most out of your exercise equipment without causing damage to your body.
There are three main types of home fitness training systems that can be purchased by a person for use on a regular basis; equipment for strength training, equipment for stretching and flexibility, and equipment that can be used for both. Many people prefer the equipment that can be used for both types of workouts but some people prefer equipment that is good for one or the other, typically due to health or physical restrictions. Strength training systems generally provide a more intensive workout and combine long movements with holding patterns that are designed to strengthen the muscles over time. A home fitness exercise system that is used to increase flexibility will generally incorporate more fluid movements and continuous motions so groups of muscles are working together and stretching in different directions at once.
The Frequency Of The Exercise
Many experts recommend using a home fitness training system at least three times a week to get the best benefits for the body. This allows the person to exercise strongly one day and spend the next 24 hours letting their body repair and rest from the stretching done the day before. After the person has become comfortable with using the home fitness training system, the intensity and length of the workout should be increased and the number of days each week that the equipment is used can be increased to four or more sessions per week.
Sometimes people use a home fitness training systems to help them prepare for other activities, such as sports or dancing. In these cases, the home fitness training system should be used before each class or training session in order to increase flexibility and reduce the risk of straining a muscle when doing the more intense actions needed for the sport. The frequency of use for the home fitness training system will depend on the number of times the person plays the sport each week.
Choosing A Length Of Time
The amount of time that should be dedicated to using a home fitness training system will depend on the type of workout being performed. If the home fitness training system is being used for exercise only, then a workout of between 30 minutes and 1 hour would be a good length of time. If the workout is being used to prepare the person for a more intense exercise, then a time limit of ten to fifteen minutes is enough to get the person ready to participate in their sport.

Help answer the question about home fitness
How do you clean home fitness equipment?I have a recumbent stationary bike for home use, and it stinks! There is no removable parts to wash. I assume the smell is in the seat and back and the grip things on the handles, but dont know what to do to remove it.

Hey Tammy, my lower back hurts while I do the 2nd and 3rd exercise. Do you know why?
For my home gym, I consulted with http://www.homegymconsulting.com/, Kris DeMarco really helped me optimize my personal home fitness retreat and helped me get started in the right direction.

very nice video and it doesnt have to have lot of stuf i like it
def agree w/ you
i weigh 134 pounds, which is overweight for my height
i’m going to start this today also
The Total Gym is one. I think I've seen it advertised at Walmart or Kmart for a semi-reasonable price, at least it was less than what I paid for it. There is another called the Cross-bow by Weider that is very similar to the BowFlex at http://www.iconfitness.com/ this place sells all kinds of exercise equipment at a reasonable price.
I paid $600 for my treadmill, but I got mine at Dick's Sporting Goods. The only way to get good stuff cheap is to check out your local papers in the classifieds for anyone who is selling stuff.
Walking and doing housework is the best exercise for losing fat and ensure that your diet does not include any high calorie foods. Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. From http://myweight.info
i dont think so
Lysol was the best answer if you don't wish to get your hands wet. If you don't mind, then try a bucket of water w/bleach and your favorite scented anything after. Wipe down EVERYTHING on the bike especially those things you believe may be hosting the scent. Use VERY hot water so that it dries rather quickly. Then spray it with your favorite scented spray or wipe it down with your favorite scented oil.
running
google: High Intensity Interval training . its meant to burn fat!
wow i need to start this thx 4 putting this up
All you need are dumbbells. Use light dumbbells to make the treadmill harder. You can also do high intensity interval training like that. Then with heavier dumbbells you can do a full body basic weight lifting routine a couple times a week to tone your muscles. Don't worry, you can't bulk up without steroids. You will gain some muscle, but you won't look big at all. It will also help you gain bone density and keep your joints healthy. This will help you avoid osteoperosis and stiff joints when you get older.
I do like elipticals. I do my intervals on those. You just switch between a high and low setting. Why not get get both. Adjustable dumbbells are cheap anyway.
does it really work?
Wii Fit is about $100 and comes with the balance board. If you don't already have a Wii, that will run you about $250. I don't know of any other home fitness video games.
I don't like gyms…even if they were free, I would not go there. Everybody's sweating in the same room and I cannot really be comfortable in front of strangers, sweating as well.
Gyms are only good if you're very strong and need a lot of heavy, expensive different machines or you need to be part of a class to get the motivation from a group (I do fine by myself).
I'm just an average woman so all I need is a good neighborhood, a stationary bicycle and some weights (and also my thigh master and my abs bar and my push-up handles…I have very thin wrists)…and a big sturdy piano bench I use as a weight bench.
At home, I do not have to drive there and I can do my abs in my underwear…
On my cardio days, I use an old DP Air Gometer, which is a stationary bicycle with upper body exercise.
It's bulky and noisy but I get the best cardio workout on it, watching TV full blast…cardios plus lower and upper body workout.
(I have a five day routine that I just repeat…walk, cardio, walk, rest, weights, walk, cardio, walk, rest, weights)
I suggest an exercise bike, because you can work out at a high intensity on it while watching TV, it provides a good workout for your lower body, and you can find them at whatever price fits your budget. Another good choice would be an elliptical trainer, but these tend to be more expensive. You can set the incline and resistance on these to specifically target thighs or hip. Here is a good intro to choosing an elliptical trainer:

I wouldn't suggest a treadmill, because it would be hard to run on it unless you devote your full attention, and if you walk on it at a lower intensity, it probably won't help very much in toning your lower body.
Its not like usual abs workout.I really loved it doing.
Thanks Tammy.
