!±8± Which Folding Exercise Equipment Should You Go For?

If you want to tone up, lose weight or just improve your fitness then a piece of home exercise equipment can be a great option. Often you can get a piece of fitness equipment that is far cheaper than having to pay out for gym membership and will often be more convenient to use. The benefit of this is that you will find it easier to motivate yourself and use the equipment on a more regular basis than you might go to the gym and so get fitter more effectively.

The downside of home fitness equipment is that it can take up valuable space. So which equipment do you go for if you haven't got lots of room or if your budget is tight? The best selection is to go for an item of folding exercise equipment that is built for easy storage. These items are often constructed to be light weight, so frames and additional components are often cheaper making folding fitness equipment relatively inexpensive as well as easy to store.

Most people looking at folding exercise gear will look at an upright folding exercise bike or a rowing machine. These are generally the best options as there is a wide choice available on the market making prices competitive and these styles of fitness machines lend themselves well to folding down and easy storage, more so than ellipticals machines or home gyms.

Whether you go for an upright or a rower will really be down to the type of exercise you feel comfortable doing and the muscle groups you want to work. Both styles of equipment will offer a low impact cardiovascular workout. This means the exercise will not put stress on you joints and your heart will be worked to improve fitness as well as other muscle groups. A bike will tone up the legs and buttocks, improve the fitness of you heart but will offer little in the way of upper body exercise. A rower will tone up legs, abs, buttocks, back, shoulders and arms whilst working your heart giving you an all body workout.

In terms of price you can often get a folding rower for a similar price to a folding exercise bike. The major difference between these machines is that a bike will often store away more easily although a folding rower can easily be slid under a bed. Whichever choice you make will come down to the type of exercise you want to do and how much space you have for storage. If you are after a folding bike check out the Confidence Fitness Space Saving X Bike currently the best seller on the market. If a rower is more your thing the Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050 Rowing Machine is probably the best folding rower on the market right now.
