I’m a Personal Trainer, and part of my job – the largest part in fact – is to try and persuade people to exercise at home when I’m not actually there. I do have some clients who I see three or four times a week, but they are the exception as I’m not cheap! In the case of most clients I set them up with an exercise program and some healthy eating advice and then go in to see them once a week to start with then dropping to maybe once a month. This works out cost-effective for them and a regular stream of clients for me. One of the exercise machines I suggest to them is the Cardio Twister.
My philosophy revolves around teaching clients how to exercise at home and by themselves. I get exasperated when people tell me that they used to go to a gym class with their best friend but then the friend dropped out, so they won’t go alone. Why not, for heavens sake! Exercising is up to them, not their best friend; they’re not joined at the hip and are perfectly capable of losing weight on their own.
I want my clients to be happy exercising alone; if you make regular daily exercise part of your routine it will become a habit, and it will do you nothing but good. If you enjoy your exercise, great; if you don’t enjoy it, do it anyway! I am sure that brushing your teeth twice a day doesn’t exactly thrill you to the bone, but you do it because you don’t want your teeth to drop out. Why should exercising your body be any different?
Exercising with the Cardio Twister at home will take care of the Cardio part of your workout (surprise, surprise). Even though the Cardio Twister has seven levels of resistance for the stepper, I do not believe that will be enough to fully tone the legs and butt, so I recommend bodyweight resistance exercises as well, like squats and lunges.
The Cardio Twister consists of a stepper that moves from side to side in a skating or gliding motion. This bit looks suspiciously like the Lateral Thigh Trainer to me, but I pretend I haven’t noticed! Then there is a set of handlebars at waist height which twist from side to side as you step, meaning that you are rotating at the waist at the same time. This will work your core muscles and obliques, burning extra calories and trimming the waistline.
The complete kit comes with two healthy eating guides and two workout DVDs, to give you lots of workout ideas and ensure you never get bored. At $160, the Cardio Twister is within the budget of most people, and it comes with a warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee, which means you can send it back and get a refund if you are not satisfied. Like all exercise machines, it will work for you if you use it!
