Beat the Heat: Exercise at Home!

"It’s a dry heat" offers no comfort if you live in Phoenix, Arizona in the summer-and sometimes even in the winter. Exercising outdoors, whether it be as simple as a walk or as grueling as training for an ironman competition, is nearly impossible when you consider the risks of heat stroke and dehydration, even after the sun sets. Forget about training in a gym; they’re overcrowded and expensive.

Time to think about an at home treadmill. Sure, it’s an old standby, and you’ve seen fancier gadgets on late night TV. But today’s treadmills aren’t your mother’s treadmills. You don’t have to have an extra room just to store it in; they fold up in the corner of your living room, or slide away into a closet. These treadmills have touch-controls, hydraulic lifts, exercise programs, and more, all to suit your needs.

No matter your fitness level, At Home Fitness has the best selection for Phoenix, Arizona treadmills. Trying to slim down? We offer models that ease you into working out, with preset programs and heart rate monitors to ensure maximum benefit. A treadmill is often the best piece of equipment for weight loss, especially if you choose a model that lets you climb hills at varying paces–hill-climbing is a great way to increase your heart rate without putting a lot of stress on your joints. Phoenix doesn’t offer a lot in the way of hill-walking, so a treadmill would be the way to go.

Recovering from an injury? Treadmills are great tools for rehabbing sports injuries, allowing you to start slowly in a safe environment, and gradually build to your previous fitness levels. We offer rehab-specific models on our website, including the Landice L770 Rehabilitation Wellness Treadmill, which offers a broad spectrum of features for both neurological and orthopedic conditions. With an optional TV/DVD system, this model is a good option for physical therapy, whether inpatient or outpatient.

Training for a big race? At Home Fitness carries a broad range of elite treadmills from brand names such as Landice, Nautilus, Bowflex, Horizon, and ProForm. With wireless heart-rate monitors, crosstraining capabilities, and a wealth of preset and customizable programs, At Home Fitness can provide a treadmill to suit your training needs for this year, and many to come.

Treadmills are versatile and safe, adapting to the variations in your–and your family’s–exercise needs. What could be better than avoiding the heat of a Phoenix afternoon and the expense of a packed gym? Start exercising in your own home, in front of your favorite movie or TV show!
