Cardiovascular activity is all about exercising your heart. Our range of Sports Watches from Polar, York, Timex and Oregon allow you to plan and adapt your training session.
Why Sports watches/monitor your heart?
As many athletes know, a sports watch is essential in keeping track of fitness. You can monitor the intensity of your exercise, allowing you to increase or decrease this as appropriate. Seeing your heart rate increases motivation and clearly indicates underperformance or an improvement in fitness. It also means you can train at your own pace and adapt your fitness programme, making it an ideal training partner.
How Sports Watch/Heart Rate Monitors Works?
Sports watches are like rev counters. They're usually attached to your chest and continually transmit your heart rate information to the monitor's receiver, normally a wrist watch. Most monitors feature alarms that can be set at a target level that beep if you go above or below this, and often you can store session information for future use.
Sports Watches are very much essential for following Exercise & Fitness equipment beside other outdoor activities such as cycling and road running.
Treadmills are without a doubt one of the most popular items of home and commercial gym equipment, powered or motorised treadmills use a motor to move the belt, keeping the rate at which you walk constant. Many motorised treadmills have powered incline adjustment. One of the main advantages of a motorised treadmill is that it's more challenging - it can go faster than you can, so you have to work harder to keep up. At Argos Sporst we offer folding treadmills - for those looking to save space and who may be on a budget. Non-folding treadmills - for those who have enough space for a treadmill, and commercial treadmills - for those who want a high quality treadmill with advanced features, similar to the standard you get in gyms throughout the world
Cross trainers also known as elliptical trainers offer the same benefits as a treadmill but are low impact machines, i.e. your feet remain stationary. These cross training machines have adjustable resistance, sophisticated digital displays and are quiet in operation. At Argos Sports we offer compact elliptical trainers for those of you short of space and on a budget, standard elliptical trainers for those of you who have the space available. We also offer commercial elliptical trainers for those who want a high quality elliptical cross trainer similar to the ones you use at a gym
Rowing Machines have the advantage of using the entire body in a single, fluid motion. The seat on a rowing machine slides on rails and there are handles attached to stretchy cords that simulate the arm motion of using a paddle. Rowing is low impact and non-load bearing. At Argos Sporst we offer air rowing machines such as the concept2 model which is used in gyms throughout the world. Magnetic rowing machines that are silent in operation, and finally water rowing machines - if you are serious about indoor rowing we suggest water rowing machines
Exercise bikes (sometimes referred to as exercise cycles) are good for the large muscle groups in the legs. These bikes are manual and have variable resistance. Some exercise bikes will also work the torso and upper body. A recumbent exercise bike puts less pressure and stress on the back. At Argos Sports we offer upright exercise bikes which give you the feel of a pedal bike, recumbent exercise bikes where you sit back and pedal putting less strain on your back (good for those who have the room and beginners). Finally we offer spinners and racers designed for those serious about there biking.
