If you’re looking for a new way to stay in shape, but don’t want to splash out mega-bucks on expensive exercise machines; or if you just haven’t got the room to store them away when they’re not in use; then an air-climber could be the piece of kit you’re looking for to help you lose weight and tone your body.
What is the air climber?
The air climber exercise machine gives you an all over workout by combining a traditional step machine which works your legs and cardiovascular fitness, with resistance bands so you can tone your upper-body with an arm workout as you go. This combination, and the fully adjustable step settings, gives you greater flexibility allowing you to vary your routine and so helping eliminate the monotony that can often cause you to give up a workout routine altogether.
Step machines have been around for a while and have been incredibly popular with people as a first venture into home fitness, but after a while it’s easy to become bored as all you’re doing is working your leg muscles. The air climber stair stepper also features power bands which gives you the chance to work your arms chest and your abs, in one routine. As well as toning your muscles, the air-climber gives you an aerobic workout – you should aim to raise your heart rate and increase your oxygen intake, building up a sweat, for around twenty to thirty minutes three times a week, in order to burn calories and lose weight.
What if I suffer from sore joints?
The clever design incorporates an air-bellow system to cushion every step you take and eliminate the jarring of your knees and ankles that you might get with an old fashioned step machine. As you use the air step climber, air will flow from under one foot to the other, helping you workout for longer without risking injury.
What else do I get for my money?
Along with the air climber and power bands, you also get a detailed and comprehensive workout guide on DVD showing you how to get the best from your purchase, and a digital counter to keep track of how well you’re doing and the progress you’re making. You also get a guide to healthy eating, which is an essential factor in any weight-loss program.
Is the Air Climber suitable for all?
As already discussed, the design of the air climber makes it suitable for those with troublesome joints. It’s made out of a tough, but lightweight, fibreglass resin that’s strong enough to support most people. The air climber requires no tricky assembly, and is ready for you to use right out of the box.
If you’re embarking on an exercise regime in order to try and lose some weight, you will also have to adjust your diet too. A great way of controlling your diet, and to stop you feeling hungry & putting temptation in your way, is by using weight loss shakes. Used in conjunction with an air climber, it won’t be long before you’re loosing weight.
