When you invest in something, your aim is to gain maximum benefit from the investment. When you join a gym, your investment is your money, your time and your energy. Would you not like to gain maximum benefit when you invest these valuable assets? Of course!
We understand this and so we use only those exercises and those equipments that will give our clients the maximum benefit.
For example, when you walk into our gym, you will not find any treadmills. The reason is that treadmills are good, but there are certain disadvantages of treadmill that makes this equipment little risky:
Disadvantages of treadmills:
Christine Luff (Running Expert) says that treadmills actually overestimate calories burnt by almost 15-20%, which is an easy way to start gaining weight if you use this reading for knowing how many calories you have burnt.
People using treadmills regularly might develop improper walking and running gait because of unnatural movements
Treadmills usage can cause excruciating friction burns in some cases.
Dr. Stanley Beekman, Dr. Marc Borovoy and Dr. Nicholas Sol (Podiatrists, i.e. foot specialists from U.S.) say in an interview (you can read the interview here: http://www.podiatrytoday.com/article/2218):
- Exercising on treadmills exacerbates the incidence of biomechanical injury since repetitions increase dramatically.
- Commonly seen injuries in treadmill users are :
- plantar fasciitis,
- intermetatarsal neuroma,
- exacerbation of neuroma pain,
- knee impingement
- lateral hip pain
- achilles tendonitis
- biomechanical considerations in relation to equinus.
From all this we see that the treadmill, though a good equipment, has its drawbacks.
So, we use an equipment that may not look as technologically advanced or grand, but is more effective, fun and much safer! We have used research straight from NASA and HARVARD to design a cardio program which is a super powerful fat loss and life enhancing weapon:
For this we use the humble trampoline. |
