Full-body workout

A RELATIVELY modest single session of exercise can improve the way your body regulates glucose, according to a 2013 study titled A Single Session of Low-Intensity Exercise Is Sufficient to Enhance Insulin Sensitivit­y Into the Next Day in Obese Adults published in Diabetes Care.

Exercise can boost your sensitivit­y to insulin, which is a hormone that helps keep your blood glucose level within normal range. With an active lifestyle, you can better control your blood glucose level, weight and blood pressure, increase “good” cholestero­l and lower “bad” cholestero­l.

Exercise may also help prevent heart and blood flow problems, thus reducing your risk of developing heart disease and nerve damage, which are common problems for people with diabetes.

Among the most preferred home exercise machines is the elliptical, which is also known as a cross trainer. The NordicTrac­k E7.5Z elliptical is one of the best cardio equipments available, providing a full-body workout with reduced impact to your knees to keep you moving longer.

The NordicTrac­k E7.5Z is a must-have elliptical. NordicTrac­k is a brand from the United States and dubbed the No.1 fitness brand in the world.

The elliptical makes workouts easy and delivers a full-body workout experience right at home.

The NordicTrac­k E7.5Z elliptical comes with 20 built-in preset workout apps that were designed by a certified personal trainer to help you achieve your fitness goals.

For best results, increase your performanc­e by adjusting the elliptical’s resistance control. With this feature, you get to optimise your energy expenditur­e and may end up burning more calories and fat in less time.

Moreover, with the NordicTrac­k E7.5Z elliptical, burn more calories with its upperbody workout arms that have soft-touch grips. With this soft-touch feature and multiple grip positions available to accommodat­e people of any height, these workout arms are easy to hold and help keep you comfortabl­e throughout your workout.

Furthermor­e, target and tone your quadriceps, calves and glutes with the ability to set your ramp incline to anywhere between 0° and 20°. Simple controls on the elliptical can help change the shape and length of your stride to maximise your training efforts for better results.

The NordicTrac­k E7.5Z’s Silent Magnetic Resistance feature makes every adjustment quiet, smooth and natural, which results in your comfort and an easy-to-use machine.

Another useful feature of this elliptical is its integrated EKG pulse grips that send accurate heart rate readings to the console. This feature helps you stay in the right heart rate zone to achieve your fitness goals.

If you want to lose weight, do it with the elliptical’s iFit technology. Connect your electronic tablet to the NordicTrac­k E7.5Z elliptical to maximise your exercise experience with customised training programs, automatic statistics tracking, Google Maps routes, a new workout every day and much more. This feature requires membership and is sold separately.

While working out on this elliptical, multitask with the integrated tablet holder, USB charging station and water bottle holder.
