Body Solid fitness equipment offers a lot of different options for staying fit. While it is agreed that a good diet and a healthy smoke and drug free lifestyle are important, exercise is probably the most influential part of healthy living. It is good for organ and tissue health as well as emotional well-being. With the variety offered by Body Solid gym equipment, a sound fitness routine is possible right in your own home.
The sound foundation of any workout regimen is a balance between strength and aerobic workouts. Strength options include freeweights and workout systems, as well as sit up benches, while aerobic choices vary from the familiar but high-impact exercise from a treadmill to the streamlined ellipticals that have been rising in popularity in gyms all over the country in the last decade.
For those interested in freeweights, Body Solid exercise equipment includes a diverse line of weights, including kettle bells, hex dumbbells and Olympic plate sets for bars. Kettle bells are regaining popularity due to the versatility the workout offers. Users can do rotation exercises that are only possible due to the unique secure handles. Hex dumbbells are another common form of freeweights. They are available in many different weights that the user does not have to worry about securing. Their shape is safe and will not roll or tip. For the most serious weightlifters, Olympic plates allow the user to incrementally adjust weights on bars for a specific controlled regimen, but require more equipment for safe storage.
Body Solid Fitness Equipment Weight System
To streamline weight-lifting, another great option is a weight system, a setup that incorporates many different exercises with one central set of weights, usually connected by cables and adjusted by pins to changes the settings. For a good lower-body workout, one might consider the Leg and Calf Press Machine. The double beam frame is designed to reduce ankle stress and also features a pivoting press plate for varied workouts. An upper-body setup option is the Weight-Assisted Chin-Dip Machine. It features a counter-resistance knee-pad platform so the user can work out using weight-assist balance. The machine is designed to assist in chin-up, pull-ups, and dips, and variations on all three. Though it comes with a 210-pound weight stack, it can also be purchased with 300- and 400-pound weight stacks.
Body Solid’s aerobic machine brand, Endurance, continues the leg training with two types of stationary bikes, both upright and recumbent. Upright bikes simulate street biking while recumbent bikes offer a different non-weight-bearing position, allowing the user to work out for longer and target different muscles. The most attractive options feature self-generating electronic panels, saving energy and increasing reliability.
Endurance also offers the traditional treadmill, but the TF3I Folding Treadmill is especially exciting among the Body Solid equipment because of its quality design and space-saving feature of folding up its length to store conveniently.
Ever-increasing in popularity due to its comfortable position and low-impact workout, the elliptical is a great option for a cardio routine. Endurance’s E5 Electronic Elliptical features arm bars that move with the natural stride and 15 levels of magnetically-controlled resistance. It comes in a nice compact design and is a great option for beginning a workout regimen.
All of the Body Solid fitness equipment is backed by its signature lifetime warranty. The versatility and variety of its products is as consistent as the quality and design of the equipment. Be sure to check with a physician and a physical trainer before beginning any home workout regimen.
