Treadmill Fitness

Treadmill Fitness: "Only aerobic exercises that require breathing in large volumes of air will improve cardio respiratory fitness. Worthwhile aerobic activities must involve the use of large muscle groups, and must be rhythmic. They must also be of sufficient duration and intensity.

A treadmill is ideal exercise equipment to benefit from a cardio fitness program because it satisfies the three requirements: air volume, large muscles, rhythm. Plus, a treadmill will increase bone density and build leg strength more than an elliptical. The FitnessQuest® Manual Treadmill is inexpensive and effective. Combine the treadmill with a Polar M52 Exercise/Fitness Monitor and some cardio fitness knowledge into a meaningful cardio fitness treadmill exercise program."
