Using An Elliptical Exercise Machine Is A Superb Way To Get In Good Shape

By Erinn Mandez


Doctors and physical therapists both agree that cardiovascular exercise is essential in maintaining a healthy body and happy mind. They say that by partaking in just 30 minutes of cardio exercise every day for 5 days per week we can dramatically improve both the health of our bodies and the balance in our minds.

It is true to say that in the modern world the time constraints placed upon us by our careers and general lives is giving us less time to exercise. This essential activity is neglected and we are becoming unhealthy as a result of it. Cardio exercise is usually low on our list of priorities and this is having a negative impact on our bodies and brains. This is why having a piece of exercise equipment like the Proform Elliptical is essential for our health.

Cardio exercise is important for a many reasons. Exercising causes endorphins to be released into the body. This hormone is one of the chemicals in the body which leads to feelings of happiness. A healthy endorphin balance in the blood is needed for a general good mood. Exercise has been shown to make people generally happier and, of course, healthier. Cardio is an excellent way to stay physically fit and internally healthy. It will improve the health of your vital organs and especially your heart.

You won't be surprised to hear that your body was designed for regular movement and essential exercise. Working, as many of us do, in a job which keeps us stationary is detrimental to our health.

Many people complain that they are tired, have aching muscles and stiff joints after a day at the office. Yet your body has done minimal physical exercise. The pain comes from uncomfortable sitting positions and lack of movement in the muscles and joints.

If you do find it difficult to get to the gym then the best way to ensure that you have access to exercise equipment is to own your own machine. The Proform Elliptical is an excellent cardiovascular workout machine. It is designed to mimic the action of running, walking and jogging.

The adjustable resistance setting allows to you to decide the intensity of your workout and the adjustable stride length means that you can choose which muscle groups to work on any given day. The Proform Elliptical even has arm bars that allow you to work your arm muscles.
