Elliptical workouts have gained popularity over the years for several reasons. First, unlike running on a treadmill, an elliptical workout it's a great cardio workout that is easy on the joints (knees and ankles). Second, you can vary the intensity of your workout by either working out only your lower body or working out your lower and upper body by using the handlebars.

Start using the elliptical machine for 20-30 minutes, 5x a week at a low intensity. Overtime, you should increase your workout to 45 minutes to an hour, 5x a week. You can potentially burn 720 calories in an hour.

Vary the level and resistance of the elliptical to ensure you are getting the most benefit out of your workout in terms of calorie and fat burning. When you only workout at one pace, your body will get used to your routine and the workout will lose its intended effect to improve stamina, spark weight loss, and increase muscle strength.

Most ellipticals have pre-programmed exercises you can workout to, but if you are looking for an alternative below is a sample routine you can use.

Begin with a warm up for 5 minutes. For 10 minutes, increase your speed and intensity to a point where you can hold a conversation and begin to sweat lightly. For 5 minutes, increase your speed and intensity even more. As this point, you should be sweating profusely and can hold a conversation but prefer to remain silent. For 10 minutes, decrease the speed and intensity where you are slightly out of breath. Begin your 5-minute cool down.

Different Trampoline Types - Knowing the Difference

!±8± Different Trampoline Types - Knowing the Difference

If you're thinking about buying a trampoline for your household, either for use a source of entertainment or a piece of equipment to use for exercise, it's important to know a little bit about the types of trampolines that are out there on the market. The trampoline was first invented in the 1930's by man named George Nissan that was inspired by the way trapeze artists would fall into the safety net and then spring up for one last flip or trick. Today, many trampolines still use Nissan's simple design but with updated materials and trampoline accessories to make them safer.

There are hundreds of different brands of trampolines available on the market today, and the most noticeable differences are in size, shape, and color. However, the most important thing to think about when choosing a trampoline is how you're going to use it. Each trampoline type is designed to fill a specific purpose, and if you don't think about whether your purpose matches the design, you could end up without a feature that you need, or paying for something you don't need. The main types of trampolines are recreational, competitive and mini.

The recreational trampoline is perfect for a family where both adults and children will be using the trampoline. They come in a variety of sizes so they can be chosen to fit just about any yard space. Because the trampoline mat on these varieties is so large, it's never a good idea to use them inside, although they can be stored in a garage or shed when they're not in use. These trampolines are the most likely to include safety features like a trampoline pad, anchor kit, and trampoline enclosure. A mini trampoline is like a tiny version of the recreational trampoline, but small enough to be used inside the house.

The competition trampoline is designed to be sturdier and include a trampoline mat that's made out of a special type of fabric that can bend and stretch without developing tears or holes. These trampolines are typically the largest and heaviest, because they are meant to be placed in a gym or workout area for training athletes and competitive trampoline jumpers. These are typically the most expensive trampolines and you should only consider purchasing one if you're going to be using it for multiple exercise and training purchases. You'll also need to make sure you have an indoor area big enough to store it, because you won't want to leave it out in the weather.
