Buying home gym equipment

If you're aiming to lose weight, train for a marathon, burn calories or increase your metabolic rate, cardiovascular exercise can really help. The purpose is to raise your heart rate (cardio) and pump blood around your body (vascular), making your heart and lungs stronger. This type of exercise can also help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and decrease stress levels.

Treadmills, rowing machines and ellipticals are all widely accepted ways to gain positive results when undertaking a cardiovascular exercise programme.

If you’re looking to increase muscular strength and muscle mass, strength training uses weight or resistance to help attain this goal. It's also good for heart health, can lower cholesterol and will aid with posture. The best bit, muscle tissue is more metabolically active than fatty tissue – so the more muscle tissue you have, the more your body will burn energy at rest.

Multigyms, weights, workout mirrors and vibration plates will all prove highly effective in helping you achieve your strength training goals.
