The Best Piece Of Home Workout Equipment Available

I get asked this question a lot and have always given the same answer.

There is no one piece of home equipment that is best as it depends on what you are looking for.

If you want to run or walk a treadmill is the obvious choice and the model depends on how much you are looking to spend. A decent residential treadmill will cost around $1000 and entry level commercial models start at around $3000.

If you have knee problems you may want an elliptical, back problems you may want a recumbent bike.

All of these choice are hundreds of dollars at a minimum, take up a lot of space and may or may not be used for something other than a clothes rack.

after years of giving the same answer I can now give you a definitive answer that I truly believe is best, most effective and costs only $25!

This piece of home equip met is actually more of a tool that you can take with you anywhere. It is small and light weight and is used for your cardio workouts and resistance workouts too.

The tool I want to share with you today is the Gymboss timer.

Rather than using a watch to time your intervals when you run, you can set the timer to beep or vibrate to let you know when to sprint, walk or run.

Training at home with a basic lifting program and want to give yourself specific 45 second rest periods. Set the timer to beep manually and just tap the button at the end of your set.

Tabata training is one of the most effective training principles ever created. Named after Dr. Tabata of the Japanese Olympic speed skating team, he proved in clinical studies that training with maximum intensity over 20 seconds, resting for 10 seconds and repeating this for 8 sets stimulates fat loss and muscle building simultaneously.

You can do this at home or at the gym with a watch or looking at the clock but it is a pain the ass. Try remembering if you are set 6 or 7 when doing some Kettlebell high swings... trust me you won't. It will get annoying and ineffective PLUS you always end up giving yourself a little more rest when you don;t have a timer going off in your ear. I don't know why but it is hard to ignore.

I am just now putting the finishing touches on my eBook site where I'll be selling the GymBoss timers in conjunction with my newly edited version of the "Vitality Fitness Solution for Busy Professionals."

Until then you could always just email the studio at info@vitalityfitness.ca to get one shipped to you or wait a few days for the relaunch on Sunday, March 7th.

I just test released the "Vitality Fitness Solution for Busy Professionals"
and GymBoss Tabata training program through my associate in Sweden and they are making a really big deal about it.

They say that I have changed their opinion on how to get and stay in shape. Check out what they are saying about me here...
