Argos Sports Treadmills

- 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.

Argos Sports Exercise Bikes

-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.

Argos Sports Elliptical

Ellipticals are the fastest growing type of cardiovascular exercise equipment. Elliptical cross trainers offer a low impact workout that exercises muscle groups in both the upper and lower body with minimum strain on joints.

A smooth elliptical cross trainers is generally designed with a 3-1 ratio of lower body to upper body resistance, matching the body's normal ratio of upper to lower body muscle mass. What makes this piece of fitness equipment unique is that ellipticals enable you to work out equally with all four limbs, valuable for longer fat burning workout programmes.

The elliptical leg motion, coupled with arm resistance exercise, provides a fitness workout that many find especially pleasing. Forward and reverse action maximises the benefits of using an elliptical cross trainer.

Argos Sports Rowing Machines

-Rowers are in a class of their own for a really intensive upper and lower body exercise workout. Serious training can be done with any piece of quality cardiovascular equipment, but rowing machines really lend themselves to the dedicated fitness enthusiast, particularly those who enjoy rowing!

Rowers have 3 main forms of resistance. Air rowers like the Concept2 Model D give an excellent smooth action and full length stroke. They come closest to simulating the action of rowing on water, together with WaterRowers, where water provides both the feel and sound of 'the real thing.' Magnetic rowing machines give a smooth and variable resistance and are generally shorter which may be a factor where space is limited, and you do not have much room for exercise machines.

Argos Sports Multi Gyms

Multigyms offer a huge variety of exercise options and can be used to improve strength, build muscle and condition major muscle groups, as you would when using any piece of weight training equipment in your local gym.

Multigyms provide a safe and effective alternative to free weights exercises. They combine all the main functions of commercial weight training machines, in a compact space saving design. They enable users to exercise safely without the need of a training partner.

The majority of multigyms offer the same core exercises such as chest press, pec deck, leg extension/curl, lat pull down and low pulley/seated row. Single station machines, power racks, smith machines, weight benches and free weight systems can be used to isolate particular muscle groups.
