Health Walker

My favorite piece of home exercise equipment is my health walker because it is simple, and I can stick to using it every day.

It is a "Gazel" type machine, solid metal construction. It is shaped like an upside down "V". It is white with burgundy and black attachments.It has two lifted foot pedals that you glide back and forth as if walking but without stressing your joints. It also has arm grips, for balance and burning extra calories/toning. It has a step & calorie counter as well to keep you motivated to push yourself, or just to let you know when your done (if you had set a goal of a certain number of steps a day). I got it for free from someone who was not using it.

Some of the Cons for this piece of equipment are:

*It is heavy and takes up a lot of space
*Does not have a drink holder.


Some of the Pros for this piece of equipment are:

*Silent, easy, and non jarring
*Can be done any time and in any type of weather,whereas outside activities can not.
*It can also double as a towel drier, as long as you still use it as exercise equipment too!

I have made it a point to get on the machine everyday, even if it is only for 15 minutes, it is too easy to do to think of an excuse not exercise.
