The nights are getting longer and for many people that means turning your attention to playing outdoor sports once more. Be it cricket, netball, tennis or hockey, chances are you will be itching to get outside enjoying your exercise in the great outdoors. But chances also are that you have lost a bit of fitness during the winter months, when running around out of doors is the last thing you feel like doing.
That’s why, whether you are returning to sport or getting into it for the first time, it pays to improve your fitness levels first. That’s where indoor exercise equipment such as a treadmill can help.
Treadmills are a great way to improve your fitness from the comfort of your home. Whether used for running or walking, a treadmill means you can measure your performance precisely and set yourself realistic targets to keep you motivated. Of course, if the weather is grim outside having a treadmill also means your exercise regime need not be disrupted.
A treadmill allows you to build up your exercise programme at a rate and pace that suits you. Priory Sports have a large selection of treadmills available for all levels of walker or runner.
If you’re just starting out, the Horizon Treo T103 Bronze Treadmill is perfect. It has a 1 to 10 mile per hour speed range and specialised programmes for manual, interval, rolling & weight loss. What’s more, it folds away compactly so you can store it easily when not in use. The Horizon Treo T103 Bronze Treadmill is available for just £499.
Stepping up a level, the Bremshey Control Treadmill has an excellent deck and folding system, as well as an orthopaedic running belt, which is more absorbent than a regular belt so there is less impact on your joints. The Bremshey Control treadmill is the perfect treadmill for those looking to minimise joint impact and still have the heart rate controlled programme and high top speed.
Priory Sports offer the Bremshey Control Treadmill for £999.
If running is not your thing, a cross trainer is another excellent way to raise your fitness levels. Cross trainers are designed to deliver an upper and lower body workout that tones the muscles of the arms, chest, back, legs and buttocks. There is also a vital double benefit with cross trainers – they burn more calories whilst putting less stress on the joints.
The Bremshey Orbit Pacer 16” Rear Drive Cross Trainer is a great entry level machine from Priory Sports. Priced at just £499, this cross trainer comes with 12 pre-set programmes to ensure you stay motivated throughout your workout. It also comes with an ergometer, which accurately measures your exercise in watts.
Meanwhile, the Fuel E35 Electronic Incline Elliptical Cross Trainer comes with both forward and backward functions. It has a fluid motion and a quiet driver, with a ramp angle adjustable from 15 to 40 degrees.
The unique foot pedals were designed in collaboration with a leading physical therapist and sports enthusiast. Fuel engineers have designed in a 2 degree inward slope to the foot pedals which reduce ankle and knee stress that is common in other elliptical machines.
The Fuel E35 Electronic Incline Elliptical Cross Trainer is available for just £1199.
