Treadmill workouts can give you intense workout sessions. You'll definitely notice your heart beating faster when you push yourself on a treadmill.

You can even follow your workout progress by tracking such metrics as your heart rate, calories burned, and distance run. Treadmills have gone high-tech these days. Treadmills come in different shapes and sizes. Looking to see which treadmills are the best is a labor intensive process. Try looking at some treadmill reviews. There you'll find what models, manufacturers and features people are discussing about.

Training on an elliptical is another great workout alternative. This type of fitness machine is engineered for those looking for a low impact exercising experience.

Like treadmills, many ellipticals are equipped with prebuilt workout programs. Try a workout app and you'll see that the instructions are easy to follow. Deciding on an elliptical for yourself can be a challenging task. For example, there are rear-drive ellipticals and front-drive ellipticals. Help yourself by seeing what other people have to say about favorite ellipticals in elliptical reviews and forums.

You might say that an exercise bike targets a specific type of user. If you like riding bicycles, there's a good chance you'll enjoy exercising on one of these. You have typically have three choices when you select to workout on an exercise bike. The different designs and forms of exercise bikes are upright, indoor, and recumbent.

Those that want a serious workout will opt for an indoor cycle. You're in more of a racing position. If you're in rehab for some form of injury, a recumbent exercise bike might be the best choice for you. These bikes are good for those who have suffered recent injury and are in rehabilitation.

It's not easy to stay healthy and fit. Regular exercise will keep you on that path. Try hopping on a treadmill, elliptical or exercise bike and you'll see how easy it is to get started.
