Our Range of Gym Cardio Machines
Cardiovascular exercise is defined as medium to high intensity movement that increases your heart rate for a sustained period of time. Cardio comes with many health benefits, such as improved fitness levels, increased heart and lung functionality, lower cholesterol, and better sleep.
Our cardio equipment is ideal for a full-body workout that targets both your cardiovascular system and large muscle groups to improve your functional fitness levels. Whether you’re hoping a cardio bike machine, ski trainer, or rowing exercise machine will help you reach your fitness goals, our range of cardiovascular equipment has you covered.
Exercise Bikes
A classic piece in any cardio equipment collection, a stationary bike is an easy way to get your heart pumping. Their intuitive design and adjustable resistance settings make these bikes suitable for many different users.
Exercise bikes are a common type of cardio exercise machine for commercial gyms. They’re often used during HIIT group sessions like spinning classes. These bikes are also fairly compact — a design which makes them a popular at-home cardio machine for gyms with limited space.
Rowing Machines
Similar to cross trainers (also called ellipticals), rowing machines work your whole body. These dynamic cardiovascular gym machines simultaneously engage your arms, legs, and core to boost both strength and endurance.
While such an intense cardio machine workout can seem intimidating, rowing machines for sale from Factory Weights are actually incredibly versatile pieces of exercise equipment. You can tailor your rowing machine gym workout to train either your lower or upper body.
Buy a rowing machine to gain adjustable resistance settings that are designed for beginners and seasoned rowers alike. With Factory Weights, you’re sure to find the best home rowing machine in the UK.
Ski Trainers
Ski trainers are ideal pieces of cardio equipment for a full body workout. Designed to mimic the motions used during skiing, these cardio machines engage multiple muscle groups with powerful compound movements that quickly increase your heart rate.
While commonly used in a standing position, ski trainers can also be used in a kneeling or sitting position for isolated upper body training. This versatility not only makes them a great wheelchair-friendly cardio workout machine, but also an ideal piece of fitness equipment for users with leg injuries.
As a reliable gym equipment supplier, Factory Weights stocks affordable cardio equipment that is built strong. Shop our range to make your gym more inclusive to all kinds of gym-goers.
FAQs
Does cardio exercise equipment help to burn fat?
Yes. Cardio strengthens your heart muscles and increases your daily calorie expenditure. However, the amount of calories you burned at the gym doesn’t always correspond with your weight loss. To effectively lose weight, you need to be at a calorie deficit (burning more calories than you consume). This requires a consistently balanced diet and regular exercise.
When it comes to weight loss, both strength training and cardio equipment can temporarily boost your metabolism, but your body uses more energy to maintain muscle than it does to maintain fat. So the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you will burn on a daily basis, even when at rest.
How often should I do cardio workouts?
Knowing all the potential health benefits of cardio machines, it makes sense to want to know how best to reap them. So, how much cardio should you do and how often should you do it?
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that adults over the age of 18 should engage in medium intensity cardio for a total of 150 to 300 minutes (2.5 to 5 hours) per week. If you want to reduce the time commitment, you can opt for the recommended 75 to 150 minutes (1.25 to 2.5 hours) of higher intensity cardio per week instead.
Looking to mix up the intensity of your cardio sessions? Go for one of our stationary bikes or ergo machines. These types of cardio equipment typically offer a massive range of resistance programs, so you can tailor every session to suit your needs.
What is the best type of cardio equipment?
The best cardio equipment is a matter of user preference and needs. So, when looking for the best cardio machine for your home or commercial gym, you should consider:
-
Your fitness level and abilities
-
The type of workouts you enjoy
-
Your overall exercise goals
-
How much space you have available
-
Any physical limitations you may have (including injuries)
For example, rowing machines target your entire body, but involve continuously bending and straightening your legs. This makes a gym rowing machine an unwise choice for anyone suffering from knee joint injuries or weaknesses. Ski trainers are a great alternative to engage in cardio training for your arms and core without putting strain on your lower body.
If you’re looking for the best home cardio machine that saves on space, you’ve come to the right place. All of our cardio machines, from our stationary bikes to our air rowing machine range, are designed to be space-efficient. That being said, if you have a truly limited floor space we recommend you invest in a ski trainer.
