Get fit at home

-

DO you always think you do not have the time to work out? What you need is high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

HIIT is a training technique in which you give 100% effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short recovery periods.

This type of training increases the amount of fat you burn per session – in far less time – and keeps your heart rate up.

The United States’ No.1 fitness brand, ProForm, introduces its latest piece of home fitness equipment, the Cardio HIIT

Trainer – a unique hybrid that combines the benefits of a stepper and elliptical trainer that works the upper and lower body simultaneo­usly with less impact on the joints.

The ProForm Cardio HIIT Trainer is the right step towards reaching your fitness goal in the comfort of your own home.

With 24 digital resistance levels, the Cardio HIIT Trainer allows you to start out easy and progress in intensity. The transition between levels is smooth, frictionle­ss and silent with the patented Silent Magnetic Resistance.

Not only does this machine provide a great lower-body exercise, it allows you to engage your upper body for a more complete workout using the multifunct­ional handlebars.

The easy-to-read seven-inch backlight display tracks your speed, time, distance and calories burned every time you work out. You can also track your statistics at any time and beat your own record.

One of the biggest concerns people have about an in-home fitness machine is the amount of space it takes up.

The ProForm Cardio HIIT Trainer resolves this concern with its compact design that only takes up half the space of the average elliptical trainer, leaving you with much room to spare by easily moving it around using the front-mounted transport wheels.

When you step on the pedals of the Cardio HIIT Trainer, you get instant access to 32 profession­al training programs fully loaded and ready to go.

It comes with many other features such as an integrated tablet holder, CoolAire workout fan, iPod-compatible audio and EKG (electrocar­diogram) hand-grip heart rate monitor for heart rate training.

Consult your physician before beginning any exercise programme.
