Star Trac and Schwinn Released Their New Models of Spinning® Bikes and Indoor Cycles and Discount Online Fitness, a National Dealer, is the Best Place to Buy One












Arlington, Texas (PRWEB) October 31, 2011

Star Trac and Schwinn released their new models of Spinning® bikes and indoor cycles and Discount Online Fitness, a national dealer of new, refurbished and used fitness equipment, is the best place to buy them. Discount Online Fitness also offers other new, refurbished and used commercial grade fitness equipment at discounted prices bringing gym quality products to everyone. Anyone in the market for a treadmill, elliptical, upright bike, recumbent bike, spin bike, stair stepper, cross trainer, strength equipment, free weights or any other type of gym equipment, should visit this online store.

Think back to being a child and riding a bike for the first time. It was somewhat like rite of passage, right? Some individuals never lose the desire for cycling and it becomes a true passion. Many individuals have taken this passion and desire indoors and continue to train on indoor cycles. This type of fitness equipment is very popular with cycling enthusiast as well as people who are seeking a low-impact workout for the lower body that also has cardiovascular benefits.

The indoor cycle craze, or Spinning® as it is most widely known, began in the 1980’s in Southern California when bike racer Johnny Goldberg opened the first spinning center. Spinning® refers to indoor, group stationary cycling, usually led by a certified instructor. During the class an instructor simulates a ride. Together, riders travel on flat roads, climb hills, sprint and race. Spinning® bike riders are kept motivated by the instructor, the people around them and by the music. It is a non-impact workout for people of all ages and fitness levels. It has gained huge popularity in the last 5-10 years. Spinning® is popular for many reasons but one of the main reasons is that it enhances cardiovascular fitness and improves muscle tone. Spinning® works various muscle groups, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, hips and abdominal muscles. Research has shown that an average 40-minute spinning workout will burn about 500 calories.

The spinning bike is a specially designed stationary bicycle that is designed to mimic an outdoor bicycle ride. The bike has fixed gear-racing handlebars, pedals equipped with clips or cages and an adjustable bike seat. The intensity of your workout can be adjusted by manipulating the resistance knob, which is located on each spinning bicycle.

Most Spinning® enthusiast believe if you are going to be involved in indoor cycling, it is best to have a high quality Spinning® bike like the Star Trac Spinner NXT or Schwinn AC Performance indoor cycle. Star Trac, one of the top selling Spinner® Bike manufacturers in the industry, features 4 Spinner bikes. The Star Trac Spinner® NXT is the top model featuring a heavy duty frame and micro-adjustable handle bars that slide up, down, forward, and back to accommodate any size rider. In its very functional style, the Star Trac Spinner® NXT is constructed with several components for safety measures; this includes its two-sided SPD-friendly platform pedals. What this means is you can fit either clip-free or standard trainers rendering the ride very customisable. There’s no risk of injury from a foot slipping off a pedal. Since the saddle of this spinning bike has a forward-thinking ergonomic style along with dual-density padding, it is remarkably relaxing and can be altered with ease as well. Thus, you don’t have to be concerned with saddle sores or chafing, even if you spin for two hours at a time. Road cyclists will appreciate the way the NXT can be set up to mimic the exact set-up of their road bikes. What this means is a lot of conditioning efficiency and stability, for the reason that it permits cyclists to harmonise the motions of their bodies in inside and outside environments.

The Spinner Elite features a safety feature called “smart-release brake system” that stops the flywheel quickly if needed. The Spinner Elite has a pin-select adjustable seat slider with handle bars that adjust up and down. The Spinner Pro does not have the “smart release brake system” for more experienced riders who don’t need extra safety features. All 3 Star Trac Spin bikes have dual water bottle holders built into the handle bars. Discount Online Fitness’s spin bike expert Steve said in his opinion, “I like the NXT because it has a very heavy duty frame and can withstand multiple indoor cycle classes daily with no signs of wear and tear and is considered an industry standard in Spin Bikes.” All of the Star Trac Spinner bikes have dual sided pedals with toe cages and SPD compatible clips. Star Trac also features a Spinner bike called the Star Trac eSpinner. The eSpinner Spin Bike has a touch-screen HDTV display which shows a virtual spin class which takes you through many different cycle courses, and an iPod can be connected to playback video for entertainment, or the built-in TV tuner may be used.

Schwinn features 2 indoor cycles. The Schwinn AC Sport features a steel frame body with handle bars and seats that adjust up, down, forward, and back using a 4 position system that adjusts to accommodate any size rider. Schwinn choose a more modern white frame color instead of the traditional silver frame Star Trac features. What makes the AC indoor cycles unique is the magnetic resistance. Magnetic resistance is a system that is virtually indestructible and requires no maintenance. Some riders say magnetic resistance feels more like a road bike compared to traditional resistance system which use a leather or wool pad. Since the magnets do not physically touch the flywheel there is no parts that wear out and need replacing. The Schwinn AC indoor cycles magnetic system allows the ability to install a Mpower Performance console that calculates Power/Watts, cadence, hear rate, distance, and time. The Schwinn AC Performance is Schwinn’s top of the line model featuring an all aluminum frame. Steve with Discount Online Fitness stated that is his expert opinion, “the magnetic system on the Schwinn AC bikes feels very realistic as if I’m riding a road bike. I like seeing Power/Watts feedback so I can see how much I’ve improved between rides.”

The President of Discount Online Fitness stated that, “Schwinn Indoor Cycles and Star Trac’s Spinning Bikes are some of our best sellers. We have a constant demand for these bikes from both gym owners and from individuals wanting to work out at home.” Discount Online Fitness is a national dealer of new, refurbished and used fitness equipment. It sells all types of exercise equipment including treadmills, elliptical machines, upright bikes, recumbent bikes, spin bikes (indoor cycles), stair steppers, cross trainers, strength equipment, free weights and much, much more.

Hypothyroidism Author and Weight Loss Expert Sanford Siegal, D.O., M.D., Applauds New Focus on Obesity-Causing Thyroid Problems












Miami, FL (PRWEB) October 19, 2007

Renowned weight loss doctor and author Sanford Siegal, D.O., M.D., best known as the creator of the popular Dr. Siegal’s COOKIE DIET™ weight loss system, applauds the sudden renewed interest in hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is an often undiagnosed disease that slows metabolism and causes a host of cruel symptoms including depression, dry skin, infertility and, most notably, obesity. In his most recent book, Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat? (Warner Books, 2000), Dr. Siegal takes issue with his fellow physicians who he says rely too heavily on questionable laboratory tests and ignore the obvious signs of a metabolic problem in their overweight patients.

“I’ve treated more than a half million overweight patients during the past fifty years. I’ve ordered thousands of thyroid lab tests and I can tell you they are highly unreliable,” said Dr. Siegal. “I’ve ordered the same test on the same person several days in a row and gotten widely conflicting results.”

During an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America in 2003, Dr. Siegal told host Charles Gibson that he estimates that one out of four overweight patients come to him with a thyroid problem that has gone undiagnosed by their family physicians.

“We have to handle those patients differently,” Dr. Siegal told host Charles Gibson. “We diagnose the problem and treat it.”

Dr. Siegal has developed his own self-test for determining hypothyroidism which he claims is more accurate than conventional tests. The test, which appears in his book, involves evaluating the patient’s weight loss while on a fixed calorie diet and comparing that result with the expected standard.

According to Dr. Siegal, many overweight people truthfully tell their family doctors that they don’t overeat and yet can’t lose weight even on a low calorie diet. Often doctors don’t believe their patients and accuse them of overeating.

“I’ve received thousands of emails and letters from readers who said that they felt vindicated when they read the book,” added Dr. Siegal. “For years, they’d been told that their obesity, depression, and other medical problems were caused by their lack of willpower when, in fact, the culprit was a sluggish metabolism.”

In addition to his concern about the methods some of his colleagues use to diagnose hypothyroidism, Dr. Siegal is equally critical of the most commonly prescribed medication for treating the problem, levothyroxine. According to Dr. Siegal, this synthetic form of thyroid hormone is less effective than the natural form known as Armour thyroid or Thyroid USP.

“The tragic thing about undiagnosed hypothyroidism and the devastating effects it has on millions of lives is that it is generally easy to treat with natural thyroid hormone, an inexpensive, well-tolerated medication,” added Dr. Siegal.

ABOUT SANFORD SIEGAL, D.O., M.D.

Dr. Sanford Siegal is a practicing physician whose Miami, Florida-based medical practice, Siegal Medical Group, has treated obesity exclusively since 1960. He is the author of several books on topics ranging from high fiber dieting to drug-free hunger control to hypothyroidism. Dr. Siegal is frequently the subject of news reports and has been profiled by Fox News Channel, CNN, Woman’s World, It’s Your Call with Lynn Doyle and many other media outlets.

Does Running Help Lose Weight-How to Lose Weight Running and Lose lbs Naturally

Posted on by
Reply

There are basically two types of running that you can do and they are indoor and outdoor. You can lose weight running using either of these but they both have their stories to tell.

 

Firstly outdoors running is either on grass which is better for your legs and feet and less likely to cause injury or road running which if you haven’t got the correct footwear can cause injury, Either one can be cold and lonely and if you are like me they are just plain boring and result in loss of interest in some people.

 

Running indoors on the other hand is both warmer and more pleasant and you can talk to others as you are running. You can either run at home on a treadmill or at the local gym or health centre and the main plus of this is that most of the modern treadmills are cushioned to prevent the constant load being placed on the legs and feet by running on a hard surface. If you have ever run on a treadmill and then run on the road outdoors you will know exactly what I mean.

 

Another plus to the treadmill is that if it is in your gym or health centre there are trained professionals there to guide you on what you need to be doing in order to lose weight running. By exerting yourself like this doing cardiovascular exercise you will sweat and sweat a lot, this is the body detoxifying itself and by drinking more fresh water you are in fact flushing out the impurities in the body and helping it.

]]>

 

The act of physical exercise will also have the effect of increasing the oxygen level in your body including the rain and other organs which will make you more alert throughout the day and you will feel like you have so much energy too. This is because the metabolism has increased in your body and that is the speed at which the body uses energy produced from food, and this increase in the metabolism is what will help you lose lbs of body weight over the weeks and results in healthy fat loss which is what you need.

 

 

You must however undertake regular exercise for this to be any good to your body and if you do want to lose weight running then you must make the time to regularly exercise in this way even 20 or so minutes a day is good for you in the long term. Today’s lifestyle is fast paced and doesn’t really set time aside for exercising but if managed right there is always time somewhere to put in some time for running.

 

The overall health benefits of losing lbs of your body weight are so overwhelming in the form of heart disease and obesity that you simply cannot ignore it and regular cardiovascular exercising like running will help you lose weight as well as be less likely to suffer from obesity and heart problems, not necessarily now but when you reach an older age, all those years of bad health and neglect will show through in other health related ways.

 

There are obviously lots of other ways to lose lbs but if you are considering the question does running lose weight then the answer is emphatically yes and it does a whole lot more too.

How To Lose Weight ? Exercise Tips That?ll Take 5 Minutes A Day

Posted on by
Reply

Do you want some lose weight excercises that only take 5 minutes a day?

Who doesn’t?

As time is such a precious commodity these days, it seems many of us put exercise on the backburner, low down on our list of priorities.

This is mainly due to the time wasting 60 minute workouts we are all too familiar with.

Well today in this article I hope to solve that problem by showing you how to lose weight with only 5 minutes of exercise a day.

Lose Weight-Excercise Tip #1: Sprint

Have you ever seen an overweight sprinter?

Of course not, they sport some of the most impressive physiques on the planet.

And all they do is sprint for 3-30 seconds at a time.

Sprinting is brutal, but that is why it is so effective. It boosts our fat loss hormones like nothing else, and sends our metabolism through the roof. So a handful of 40 yard sprints will do more for you than an hour of walking ever will.

Alternatively you could box, skip, run, swim or jump on an exercise bike and go flat out for 20 seconds, rest 20 seconds then go again. Do this a total of 7 times and you will be well and truly fried after only 5 minutes (And your body will be so revved up it will continue burning fat for days afterwards!)

Lose Weight-Exercise Tip #2: Go hard as you can for 5 minutes

]]>

Can you remember running the 800 or 1500 at high school?

Well this will bring back some memories!

Grab a stopwatch and jump on an exercise bike, any piece of exercise equipment or for best results go down to the local park and go as fast as you can for 5 minutes straight. Make a note of the distance covered and strive to beat it next week.

Lose Weight-Excercise Tip #3: Lift Heavy

You see if you train hard enough, you only have to train your muscles once a week. Also if you go to complete failure once, that is all you need to reap the benefits.

So if you lift as much weight as is humanly possible for 8-12 reps, that’s all that is required to build muscle, boost your metabolism and burn fat.

And how long would doing 8-12 reps take?

20 seconds.

You could get 3 exercises done in 5 minutes if you were serious.

Lose Weight-Exercise Tip #4: Do only compound lifts

To get the most out of your strength workouts, you can discard isolation exercises than train only one muscle, like bicep curls or triceps kickbacks. This is because your arms are stimulated more efficiently with bigger more complex movements like the bench press or chin ups. So if you are racing for time, you could skip the puny exercises and just focus on the big lifts that deliver the most bang for your buck.

So to sum up, you could definitely start losing weight with only 5 minute of exercise a day. You could strength train every muscle on your body in 2-3, 5 minute strength workouts a week.

In-between these days you could do any of the 5 minute cardio examples I gave you and as long as you watch HOW MUCH you eat, you will begin to see results within a week.

Good luck :)

Just remember though that your diet makes up about 70-80% of your success in losing weight.

But if you hate dieting and giving up your freedom to enjoy food, then you might be interested in checking out my brand new book called “The Junk Food Diet”. http://www.junkfooddietsite.com 

In it I reveal step by step how I managed to overcome 8 years of yo-yo dieting and lose 40 pounds of fat eating absolutely whatever I wanted including junk food.

So if you love your food and are trying to lose weight, but can’t seem to come to grips with dieting, this book might be just what you are looking for.

Check it out now at http://www.junkfooddietsite.com

Luke Johnstone has battled with his weight his whole life. After struggling to come to grips with dieting for over 7 years (because he loves food too much!) he stumbled upon away to lose fat without ever giving up the foods he loved.

He lost 35 pounds and got a six pack for the first time in his life. To discover exactly how he did it go now to http://www.junkfooddietsite.com

HCG Diet Direct Supports New Study Results Indicating a Fast Way to Lose Weight is Most Efficient











HCG Diet Direct

Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) August 2, 2010

HCG Diet Direct cites a new study that indicates that a fast way to lose weight is the most efficient method for long term weight loss. Dr. Jeroen Barte, a researcher at the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment in the Netherlands along with his colleagues presented the findings of their study at the International Congress on Obesity in Stockholm, Sweden on Monday, July 12, 2010.

Barte and colleagues’ findings indicated that regardless of how much weight an individual loses they typically gain back half of the “weight lost” in the following year. That means that dieters who lost a drastic amount of weight initially ended up with the most weight loss in the long term. The researchers concluded that experts should encourage dieters to lose 10% or more of their weight in order to achieve the maximum, long term weight loss results.

Dr. J. Ronald Willis of HCG Diet Direct said, “There has been a stigma placed on any ‘fast way to lose weight’ for years. Recent studies are indicating that this is a mistake. Not only is it a mistake, but it’s a drastic mistake. Every tool should be used in order to overcome the obesity epidemic. And for most…a fast way to lose weight is the most effective method.”

Homeopathic HCG weight loss formula is a fast weight loss diet that can be used to achieve drastic weight loss without invasive procedures. The HCG drops are taken three times daily and paired with a careful eating plan.

The results of the standard 26-30 day program can provide an average of 1 to 2 pounds of weight loss per day.

No More Water Weight How To Get Rid Of It And Lose Weight Finally

Posted on by
Reply

 

Water weight which is known as (edema) is one of the causes of weight gain. If you are wondering why you are losing weight, but are not losing the way you should, it could be this. Retaining too much body water is unhealthy and causes health issues. According to Mayo Clinic fluid is trapped inside the tissues which in turn creates swelling in the feet, hands, ankles, legs, face and stomach.

One factor that can set it off is by drinking too much caffeinated beverages such as coffee, soda and energy drinks. Caffeine causes frequent urination which will cause dehydration to the body. Drinking more water than, caffeinated drinks is a better choice.

Why and How?

Salt intake is one that can lead to this type of weight gain as well. Eating too much salt can lead to high blood pressure and of course water weight gain. The average American consumes 5,000mg to 6,000mg a day. The doctor recommends 2,400mg daily, but if you are sensitive to salt such as if you have high blood pressure, it would be at least 1,000mg a day or less.

Pregnancy and gaining weight is two of many issues to when it comes to water retention. Pregnancy and weight gain will give you swollen ankles, feet, hands, face fat, extra belly fat and stubborn weight loss. There are methods towards getting it under control and out of your life.

]]>

How to get rid of water weight

In some water weight gain differs because it could be because of a medical condition, pregnancy or improper nutrition. Don’t worry there are ways to get rid of it, taking care of your health should be your #1 priority. Losing fluid retention is much easier than losing weight.

Physical activity

is a safe and healthy way to release the unwanted water from your body. Doing vigorous exercises will release fluids by causing frequent urination, increase the heart rate, dilate the blood vessels and excrete salt from your body. Be more productive when it comes to your health, make the most out of your daily activities.

Taking the supplement

GenF20 Plus is another way to get fluid retention out of your body. It increases the body HGH (human growth hormone) which improves your health, gets rid of water retention, increases metabolism, fat loss, and energy, which then leads to natural weight loss. It can be used for improving many health problems, but this is one of them.

Taking diuretics

 (water pills) will also help release the extra fluid that is swimming in your body. Before you take them make sure you talk to your doctor. If you have high blood pressure then your doctor probably has prescribed you some, since it causes water weight gain.

Drinking water

will help get rid of it too. If your body is dehydrated your body finds fluid and this is what causes edema. Drink more water and lose weight. Women should drink at least 9 cups a day and men should drink 13. Consume a little water and your body will retain fluids. Adding more water to your diet will reduce your sugar intake. Too much sugar can lead to diabetes, and other health issues.

Eating a diet rich with potassium and fiber

 is another approach to getting relief. The Dash Diet (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) is a another alternative when it comes to eating healthy and maintaining edema. Many health organizations are influencing this eating plan. Eating a diet high in fiber also suppress appetite and will lead to better and quicker weight loss.

Groundbreaking New Fitness Book Blasts the Weight Loss Lies

Groundbreaking New Fitness Book Blasts the Weight Loss Lies












Denver, CO (PRWEB) February 9, 2006

Colorado’s newest fitness author is shaking things up in the weight loss community. According to fitness author Laurie Bell, “People need to stop lying to themselves if they really want to lose weight.” Bell writes about these struggles in her unique new book called Lose the Lies, Lose the Weight (http://www.losethelieslosetheweight.com).

This straightforward book by Bell offers a refreshing no-nonsense approach to weight loss and lifestyle changes by encouraging people to stop lying to themselves about what it takes to be healthy. The book deals with “lies” we tell ourselves AND manipulative lies others tell you to stop you from succeeding. No gimmicks, no fad/starvation diets, just the truth.

Here are Bell’s top ten weight loss lies from her new book:

1. Go ahead, eat it, one time won’t hurt you. How many times have you told yourself that one time won’t hurt? The whole problem is, it’s never just “one time.” Getting fit is like entering a race. Your beautiful body is waiting at the finish line. To get to the finish line, you must eat right and exercise. Desserts and second helpings always move you away from the finish line.

2. Thin people are lucky. Anyone can gain weight whether rich, poor, young, old, short, or tall. A daily intake of more calories than you burn off results in infinite weight gain. Believing thin people are lucky (but you aren’t) prevents you from pursuing your fitness goal. You must work diligently at your fitness. Accepting that getting in shape requires effort (not luck) is the beginning of a beautifully transformed, healthy body.

3. I can’t lose weight. How many times have you told yourself that you can’t lose weight? Would you say ten times (a day), a hundred times (a week), a thousand times (a year), maybe more? The prime reason you haven’t been successful at permanent weight loss is you believe you can’t be. Eliminate “can’t” from your vocabulary. Instead say, “I can lose weight.” Believing emphatically you can lose weight is the mindset you need to succeed.

4. But I never overeat. You may THINK you don’t eat that much. You rarely eat dessert. You never drink soda. You always get your dressing on the side. You just don’t understand where that extra weight came from. The truth is, if you take in even one more calorie daily than your body burns, you won’t lose weight. An extra 100 calories a day (that your body doesn’t burn) adds up to one pound gained per month or 12 pounds per year. Record your food and liquid calories in a food journal. Creating caloric awareness leads to steady weight loss.

5. I’m buying it for my kids. How many times have you purchased empty calorie foods and told yourself you were buying it for your kids? While you strolled down the cookie aisle, you promised yourself, this time would be different. This time you would not eat Junior’s lunchbox cookies. Don’t let your subconscious fool you. Don’t believe the unhealthy food is only for your kids. That’s a lie. You want it for yourself. Don’t buy it or you’ll eat it.

6. Everyone gains weight as they get older. Many people falsely believe they’re doomed to gain weight as they get older. Believing that lie assures you will gain weight with each passing year. In life, you get exactly what you expect you’ll get. The truth is, you can stay fit your entire life! Certainly, many people do gain weight with age simply because they overeat and don’t exercise. When you believe weight gain is an inevitable consequence of aging, you just let it happen. Immediately change your belief to, “I will get in better shape with each passing year.”

7. You’ll never look the same after having kids. Believing you’re doomed after having kids is “just another lie.” Having a baby does not cause you to stay overweight forever. Eating too many calories, moving too little, and giving up is the reason you’re still unfit years after baby arrives. With the right information, you can look great after having kids.

8. Carbohydrates make you fat. Hearing you should “cut carbs” is vague and useless advice. Quality carbohydrates like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains foods are an essential part of a healthy diet. Your body needs carbohydrates to function properly. After hearing that carbohydrates make you fat, you may have restricted the quality carbohydrates, setting yourself up for mood swings, low energy, nutrient deficiencies, and a weight loss plan you would never stay on. The refined simple carbohydrates you should eliminate are those found in sodas, candy, cake, cookies, pastries, white bread, and other empty calorie foods.

9. I’ll have to starve to lose weight. Starvation diets don’t work. Stringent dieting tells your brain food is in short supply. When your brain registers the perceived food shortage, it goes into “famine mode.” The restricted calories quickly get stored in your fat warehouse. With stringent dieting, considerable muscle is lost along with fat and water. Losing muscle means a slower metabolism, fewer calories burned, and little or no weight loss. Even without stringent dieting, your body loses some muscle tissue when you diet. To lose weight, without losing muscle, you must strength train to compensate for muscle loss during dieting.

10. I don’t have time to exercise. Your time on Earth is limited. You will not be able to accomplish every goal. However, you will be able to accomplish every top priority goal. In life, you always find time for priorities like shopping, watching television, or dining out. If you believe you don’t have time for exercise, it is because you haven’t made it a priority. To make exercise your top priority, schedule your workouts in your monthly planner first, before you schedule anything else. Treat each workout as an important business meeting you can’t miss.
