Regular aerobic exercise has great health benefits: reduce the risk of obesity and diabetes, strengthen the cardiovascular system, and possibly avoid the occurrence of Alzheimer's. The problem is that many people, when exercising in their daily lives, either have incorrect equipment operation methods or incorrect exercise rhythms, and do not reap the maximum benefits of exercise.


For example, if the resistance is set too high when using an elliptical machine, you will feel very uncomfortable unless you lean on the machine to borrow force. Shrugging and hunching over due to high resistance settings and forcefully grasping the armrest is simply deceiving your body. At this point, your body is not in a straight line, which can easily damage your spine, shoulders, and elbows. While challenging oneself can achieve sufficient exercise intensity, it does not mean that using a natural step rhythm and lightly grasping the handle will not have such an effect. In fact, this is true for any equipment.
Scott Danberg, a fitness instructor at the Pritikin Sanatorium in Miami, suggests that to increase the difficulty of using the elliptical machine, you can gently support it with one hand and keep the other hand in an open position, alternating from time to time. As for those books or videos, it's better to watch them after exercising so that you can fully concentrate on your movements.


Spending a long time on aerobic exercise equipment only shows that you are not putting in enough effort. Sara Haley, a training expert and independent fitness consultant for a sports brand, suggests that "increasing intensity and shortening time can cut half of the time you usually spend on exercise." Try mixing different exercises together, and if you are a die hard fan of treadmills, add some high-intensity equipment exercises, such as rowing machines or Jacob's Ladders. These devices can make aerobic exercise more effective because you exercise more muscle groups and burn more calories.
When using horizontal exercise equipment such as Ulatraslides and treadmills, each movement plane is used, which can also prevent endless training of the same muscle group, "Haley said. Diversify your exercise methods to ensure that all muscles are trained.
