- Running machines are probably the most popular of all types of fitness equipment. Argos Sports have selected a great range of quality treadmills for improved cardiovascular health, weight loss and muscle tone. For most people, 20-30 minutes exercise 3 times a week is beneficial for health and fitness, though this should be a minimum from which to build.
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a treadmill. How heavy are the users, how fast do you want to go, what are your goals? Should you consider a running machine with a heart rate control programme to make your training more efficient?
We also supply all accessories for treadmills and our other pieces of fitness equipment such as mats, Polar heart rate monitors and software. All the superb range of exercise equipment at Argos Sports is fully covered by manufacturers' warranties from a minimum of 12 months to lifetime.
-Exercise cycles are for many people the ideal cardiovascular fitness equipment. Cycling is enjoyable for all ages, and on an exercise bike you can easily keep fit without missing your favorite programme. Upright exercise bikes are the most popular form and are more compact than most machines.
An exercise bike may also suit those with injuries preventing them from running or walking. Recumbent exercise bikes can be a good choice if you have certain types of back problems while semi-recumbent exercise bikes make it easier for users to dismount.
Most exercise bikes have magnetic resistance, which can give a superbly smooth and quiet ride. Air resistance exercise bikes are less quiet and popular but have a feel some still prefer.
