The Hideaway Elliptical Trainer

The Hideaway Elliptical Trainer is a compact elliptical trainer that provides the same lower leg motion as the full sized counterparts that you find in the fitness and workout clubs. But for many of us with limited space to keep a full sized workout machine permanently setup in our home, the small compact size of the Hideway Elliptical Trainer enables you to hide the machine in a closet or stow under a bed when not in use.

You can definitely get a great aerobic workout on a treadmill, stair climber or elliptical trainer, but these machines are very expensive and bulky in size to have in the home. The Hideaway Elliptical Trainer provides you the same great workout at a very affordable low cost compared to the full sized machines. And the ability to store and hide the elliptical trainer away when not in use solves the space problem many of us have in the home.

Unlike the full sized elliptical trainers, the Hideaway Elliptical Trainer doesn’t have hand rails enabling it to squeeze into tight spaces when not in use. The open foot pad design also forces you to keep your balance as you stride which simultaneously works your abdominal muscles. And that’s actually an extra workout benefit that even the full sized machines don’t provide.

The well constructed and sturdy steel frame supports up to 250 pounds. The elliptical trainer also has a tension dial that lets you adjust the intensity of your workout. You can keep track of your workout progress with the LCD screen as it scrolls through the number of strides per minute, total number of strides, exercise time and calories burned.

Inversion Machine and Captain’s Chair

 

The Inversion Machine and Captain’s Chair is a nifty piece of exercise equipment that effectively exercises the abs, namely the rectus abdominis as well as the internal and external oblique muscles. Although the main function of the captain’s chair is to work the abdominal muscles, the captain’s chair also exercises the hip flexors, depending on the position of the person.

The Inversion Machine and Captain’s Chair can be considered more of a therapeutic piece of equipment rather than an exercise equipment as it is used mostly to strengthen the back or spine. Inversion machines are also widely used as a form of physiotherapy for patients with back or spinal injuries, who are seeking to strengthen their spine or back.

The inversion machine and captain’s chair is a piece of exercise equipment that strives to provide both these functions. While using the inversion mode, the cushioned bench stretches the back to strengthen the back muscles. When used as a captain’s chair, it serves to strengthen the abdominal muscles.

Sometimes, in the process of strengthening one’s abdominal muscles, there is a tendency to strain one’s neck or back. The inversion machine and captain’s chair eliminates this risk as it enables one to stay in the proper form as when users grip the foam-padded handles, their feet are held stable by the foot pad. The inversion bench stretches the back gently utilizing only gravity, effectively relieving any strain on the spine or vertebrae. Regular usage will promote strong abdominal and spinal muscles.

The auto-stop avoids any over-inversion while handholds ensure a smooth return to an upright position. The machine is made all the more stable with anti-slip rubber leg caps. How much for gain with no pain? USD $199.95.
