The WHO increasingly recommends physical exercise as part of a healthy life. And it is that the rhythm of life that we lead in the consumer societies in which we live, leads us in most cases to put aside our own health. Although it is true that many times we do not have material time due to our work and family obligations, it is true that many times if we organized ourselves a little better, we would have enough time to take some time for ourselves and take care of ourselves a little more and better.
On our own and without the need for any device or depending on anything or anyone else, we can do a lot of exercise simply by doing what everyone else does: walking. There are multiple variables that we can take advantage of: walking fast, running, climbing stairs, taking long walks … any activity that we do that involves movement, however little it may seem, will have positive effects on our body . But in order to go a little further and really feel good, the ideal would be to be able to accompany this basic exercise with more specific exercises assisted by machines .
If we do not have the capacity to go to a gym near us, either because of the schedules or because of the price, we can always get treadmills or a folding exercise bike to help us meet the weekly recommended aerobic and anaerobic exercise needs ( from 150 to 300 minutes per week is the minimum recommended according to the latest studies).
We must also take into account the amount of money that will allow us to save, since if we take into account that for the investment we make in return we will avoid having to pay annual gym fees, in the end we will have more than covered the cost of a treadmill or exercise bike.
All these tips are fine, but…. How can i use them daily?
Once we have the device at home, the first doubts arise. How do I use it? Do I have to do something special or are they as simple as they seem?
Indeed, one of the great advantages of these devices is that it is not necessary to learn before doing any exercise (it is not even necessary to learn to ride a bicycle, since it will be fixed to the ground and there will not be any type of problem of falls or losses balance), after all, what is more intuitive than walking?
The other is that both devices is that you can use them to your liking. They are all programmable, so with this we are going to make sure that we are going to be able to use them without problems. From those who want to use them to recover from an accident or medical problem as rehabilitation to those who are going to use them to stay in shape by exercising daily or even physically prepare for marathons or competition tests.
In short: there are no excuses for not loving yourself a bit and taking care of yourself, so get up from the sofa and start walking… .Today you still have 2000 steps to take!
