Cardio Equipment

                 

 

Cardio Training 

The dictionary definition for cardiovascular training is: ‘physical conditioning that exercises the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels’.

In other words, when you do a cardio session, you’re giving your heart, lungs and circulatory system - in addition to any other muscle groups that you use - a good workout. Cardio exercise is extremely important because this system is effectively your body’s engine - and without a strong engine you’ll be going nowhere, no matter how good your bodywork is!

We have a wide range of equipment you may be familiar with and some not so.

As a warm-up for resistance training, it provides better activation of the upper torso than traditional alternatives. As a cardiovascular tool, the results are exceptional. When used in the standing position, the UBE engages all core muscles of the mid section. It is also used in the rehabilitation of many injuries and as a general exercise apparatus for those in wheelchairs.
