It can often be intimidating getting into an exercise program. You may feel awkward running about outside, afraid of seeing other people who make it look easy. The NordicTrack ACT Pro can help with this.
The product is named after the Scandinavian tradition of pole walking. Traditionally, this would involve a person hiking with poles in either hand. This form of exercise is becoming increasingly popular.
When first starting to use a cross trainer, you should start with a low resistance and a low speed, gradually building up as you get used to it. It is better to do a smaller amount and often then it is to try and do large amounts in one go. Like any exercise program, there are no quick fixes and it is a matter of getting into good habits.
The A. C. T. Pro offers a great alternative and now allows more people to get the exercise they need. This model allows for people up to 350 pounds to use it and is adjustable for people of various heights. Essentially, a wide variety of people can use it and get the most out of it.
If you are feeling competitive, you can also use the Ifit website to compare your routine with friends and family. Because the machine is also adjustable for various sizes and up to 350 pounds, you could easily create a progress site for your whole family!
The separate handlebars also have heart sensors built in, allowing you to monitor your heart rate as you exercise. This is especially useful if you are in training for a marathon or other form of run as you can note your progress in a running diary.
Throughout your exercise, your heart rate is monitored by built in hand grips in the handlebars. The large display screen also clearly shows other pertinent information like how many calories you have burned, useful if you are on a calorie controlled diet.
While it is possible to fall into bad habits, with the right program and equipment it is also possible to get into good habits. The all round activity a cross trainer can offer ensures your arms and legs get the full workout that they need.
In short, the A. C. T. Pro can be both a great introduction to cross training and the best way of maintaining a healthy exercise routine.
