This is a beneficial part of our program here at Methode: Fitness. We believe that a minimum 30 minutes working out to involve the heart is crucial to any health and fitness program.

Walking on a treadmill and gliding on elliptical trainer is one of the best ways to get in shape, whether you have weight problems or simply want to keep your body and mind healthy. Methode: Fitness has combined this simple aerobic workout for an effective way to stimulate fat burning and keep your muscles healthy and fit. Our program involves 15 minutes on each machine for a combined total of 30 minutes of cardio. It is essential for you to maintain your aerobic heart-rate so your stride and speed are important. Most experts agree 65-85 percent of your total heart rate minus your age is the effective range. (220 – your age = total x 65% = your effective range for basic aerobic fitness.) You will see an increase in your fitness level, energy level, and weight loss.

The more intense your stride, speed and the longer you engage in each session, the stronger your heart will become. Other muscles in your body will be strengthened and help your body burn more fat. Also, engaging in your program 3-4 times per week, you will burn more calories. And, you have to burn extra calories (more than you consume) to lose the fat. Done consistently, it can help build a leaner body. Walking is an aerobic and weight-bearing exercise, so it is good for your heart and helps prevent osteoporosis while building strong bones. All equipment at Methode: Fitness offers a weight bearing workout that puts minimal stress on the joints. You will be able to focus on muscle groups or isolate your quadriceps, hamstring, gluteus, chest, back, triceps or biceps. Weight bearing programs help prevent bone density loss.

Methode: Fitness offers the perfect way to get in shape and it can be practiced by almost anyone, regardless of age, physical condition, or time. After you feel you’ve gained enough strength and physical power, you can advance in speed and stride to increase the effects.
