Introduction:

If you're serious about getting fit and staying that way, it's important to do both strength and cardiovascular training. Your strength training programme should focus on the major muscle groups of the upper and lower body. Your cardio routine should aim to keep your heart rate in a specific zone for a given period, usually 20 to 30 minutes. The cardio portion of your workout is easy enough -- all that's needed is a treadmill, exercise bicycle or other piece of fitness equipment that will raise your heart rate. The strength segment can be a bit tricky because strength training machines tend to be highly specialised. What's the best solution? Many users have found that multi gyms can provide most of the strength training that's needed. Read on to learn about the Weider Pro 5500 model.
