See why our latest fitness innovations continue in the path of the original HealthRider. With HealthRider, the road to health fitness is easier, the health workouts are enjoyable and the results speak for themselves. HealthRider''s remarkable cushioning system combines two of the best cushioning systems available. First, there''s the SoftTrack tread belt, a durable polyurethane cushioning fused directly to the tread belt for impact absorption at the exact point of impact. It feels great and it''s exclusive to HealthRider treadmills. HealthRider takes it one step further, adding a second impact-isolation system under the treadmill deck. This series of cushions work together to absorb impact under the deck. That''s two kinds of cushioning in every step. So you get a much softer, safer workout on your ankles, knees and hips. Just one more example of how smart ideas are taking shape at HealthRider. Instead of going to health the gym, what if the workout and personal trainer came to you?

There health are also non-weight-bearing aerobic exercises, such as bicycling, stationary cycling, swimming and rowing. Keep the pace comfortable. A health very important aspect of your exercise program is the intensity. You should exercise at a comfortable pace. You can measure your exercise heart rate to check the intensity of your exercising, or you can take the "talk test." To measure your heart rate, take your pulse as soon as you health stop exercising. Count your heartbeat for 10 seconds, and then multiply that by six to convert it to a one-minute heart rate. If you keep your exercise heart rate within a range of 55 percent to 80 percent of an estimated maximum heart rate (220 minus your age), you''re doing well. The talk test is easier to accomplish. Just exercise at a pace that allows you to carry on a conversation while you''re exercising. How often should you exercise? Three to four days of aerobic activity is fine for general health maintenance.
