Physical fitness is an important part of a healthy life. DealDash has many fitness items and equipment up for auction.

Do you live a healthy lifestyle? Many people either currently live a healthy lifestyle or would like to live more healthily. One of the biggest hurdles to overcome is finding time in your busy life to be able to fit in a trip to the gym.

Luckily, DealDash offers lots of fitness products that you can use in the privacy of your own home, and on your own time. Want to work out at night after the kids are in bed, but your gym is closed? No problem! Use these workout items when you want.

Rowing Machine / Rower

My favorite piece of fitness equipment that I own is my rowing machine. I have it set up in my basement, and I use it for a few minutes at a time whenever I enter or leave the house since I have to walk right by it to get to my garage. The rower is a great strength training exercise. Also, rowing is an intense calorie-burning exercise, which is why it’s my favorite – it uses the least amount of time, but the maximum calorie-burning power.  Although new rowers with less ability and training will burn fewer calories, the rowing machine is an excellent piece of exercise equipment for use in a fitness or weight-loss program.

If you’ve never used a rower before, please be careful and read all of the instructions. If you use the rower with bad form you can give yourself a back injury. After you have learned the proper form for rowing, shoot for 15-minute sessions at a 1-3 level of resistance. After you have mastered this, try to work yourself up to 30 minutes at a 3-5 level of resistance.

FitBit

The Fitbit comes in a few different forms, such as the FitBit Alta and the FitbBit Zip. They are great little step and calorie counters that can be worn on your body or on your clothing. FitBit even makes a wi-fi scale called the FitBit Aria, and it can help keep you on track during your fitness journey.

Treadmill

Almost everyone has used a treadmill at some point in their life. However, if you aren’t familiar with them, treadmills are the indoor motorized equivalent of walking or running in place. The treadmill is equipped with a belt that moves under your feet and you have to walk or run to keep up with its pace. You can set it to walk slowly all the way up to running quickly. You can also adjust the lift or angle of the treadmill so it’s as if you were walking or running up a hill. Your treadmill workout will burn about the same number of calories as walking or running outdoors, yet in your lovely air conditioned and internet equipped house.

Many people wonder if they can actually lose weight and get fit by using a treadmill. Thankfully, the answer is yes, as long as you put in the work and effort that it takes to use it consistently and increase your speed and angle. By training consistently (initially twice a week and then three times a week), you can improve your health greatly.

 Everyone wants to look and feel their best, that’s why DealDash offers many auctions for a healthy lifestyle.

DealDash realizes that losing weight and getting healthy can be a little difficult sometimes. That’s why they offer so many different auctions that can help you on your way to a healthier lifestyle. Getting started on your healthy path might seem hard, but you’re not alone, DealDash is here!

When you’re just getting started on your way to a healthier lifestyle, it’s good to start small, with easy changes to your current lifestyle. One of the best things that you can do for your health is to cut out almost all drinks except for water. No, no, I’m not telling you to give up your morning cup of coffee! I wouldn’t do that to you! However, I would advise to cut out the soda with your lunch, the beer after work, and the wine with dinner. If you are able to do this, and replace those drinks with water (or even sparkling water) on weekdays you will be well on your way to a healthier you. DealDash can help you with your plan to increase your water intake – they have water dispensers, kettles to boil water, water bottles, and more. Just click this link right here and it will take you to see some of the different water options that DealDash offers.

Of course, if you are trying to get fit, you will need to do some exercise as well. Walking is one of the easiest and most enjoyable exercises that you can do. Walking in your neighborhood with a friend or family member for an hour after dinner would be optimal, but since we are getting into the autumn and then winter season soon you might need to think about using a treadmill instead.

If you’re getting on a treadmill for the first time, or even more importantly if you’re someone who hasn’t had any strenuous physical activity for at least three months, it’s important to check with your doctor to be sure that your body can handle the extra activity, and ask them what they would recommend as far as a training schedule. For people who do exercise occasionally you can gradually increase the intensity of your exercise by increasing your speed and incline as time progresses. Just be sure that you start slowly. If you strain yourself, you will be in too much pain to want to work out the next day, and then your whole plan could be derailed.

If you haven’t quite worked your way up to being able to exercise just yet, you can gain health benefits by just swapping out your chair for an exercise ball. You don’t need to do any exercise with it just yet, by simply sitting on the exercise ball instead of the couch while watching TV you can reap the health benefits of increased balance and core strength.

Welcome back to DealDash Blog’s Living Healthy series. Today’s blog is going to introduce you to some pieces of fitness equipment and tell you how to use them.

 

Let’s start out with everyone’s favorite, the treadmill. Treadmills are the indoor motorized equivalent of walking or running in place. You simply keep up with a belt that’s moving under your feet. Your treadmill workout will burn about the same number of calories as walking or running outdoors, yet in your lovely air conditioned and internet equipped house.

If you’re getting on a treadmill for the first time, or even more importantly if you’re someone who hasn’t had any strenuous physical activity for at least three months, it’s recommended that you begin with walking. By training consistently (initially twice a week and then three times a week), you can gradually increase the intensity of your exercise by increasing your speed and incline.

 

Next up is the exercise bike. The exercise bike is a piece of exercise equipment having handlebars, pedals, and seat like a bicycle, and you pedal and stay in a stationary place, which is why is is also sometimes called a stationery bike. The exercise bike comes in both computerized and non-computerized versions. Computerized exercise bikes typically have digital displays that let you know how many calories you’ve burned and how much distance you’ve cycled. Some even have the technology for evaluating your heart rate and speed. If you like to have a calorie count, a computerized model may be for you. However, a non-computerized model will help you to burn calories just as well (You just won’t know how much you’ve burned!)

As with the treadmill, if you haven’t been exercising regularly then start slowly.If you strain yourself, you will be in too much pain to want to work out the next day. Start with 15 minutes on the bike, but understand that it’s okay to stop earlier if it becomes too much for you. Eventually, your legs will get used to the workout, and it will be more comfortable to do the entire 15 minutes. Gradually work up to 30 minutes on the bike. Once you are comfortable at this level, work towards a goal of spending one hour on the exercise bike, five days per week.

 

The last piece of exercise equipment that we are going to talk about today is the rower, or rowing machine. An indoor rower is a machine used to simulate the action of watercraft rowing for the purpose of exercise or training for rowing. In addition to being a great strength training exercise, rowing is an intense calorie-burning exercise. Although new rowers with less ability and training will burn fewer calories, the rowing machine is an excellent piece of exercise equipment for use in a weight-loss program.

If you are a total beginner with the indoor rower, please watch some YouTube videos to learn the proper form, I have included a link to one at the end of this article. If you use the rower improperly you can give yourself a back injury. After you have learned the proper form for rowing, shoot for 15 minute sessions at a 1-3 level of resistance. After you have mastered this, try to work yourself up to 30 minutes at a 3-5 level of resistance.
