Life Fitness X5 Elliptical Trainer How to get more from your home gym.

Most people find Life Fitness X5 elliptical trainer the perfect way to get fit at home and having purchased thier trainer they set about using it without actually making a decision about what it is that they are trying to achieve.
The evidence shows that you need to set a goal to really achieve anything so are you...
Just getting a bit of exercise...
Trying to lose fiftteen pounds of Fat...
Training to get ready for a hiking holiday,
Getting ready to put on your sunbathing clothes...
You need to decide why you want to exercise regularly, before your body will go along with the idea of getting on the machine. If you get a clear goal in mind.. say, to be able to do twenty minutes non stop, then you can go somewhere from there..but you need to be able to state the objective clearly, I want ____ or will_____ or I want to be able to_____ .
Just fill in the blanks...

You can choose to burn the same amount of energy in a shorter period of time and increase your speed, or you can choose to do two minutes more on the machine, or to increase to difficulty level or whatever so long as you are increasing, improving, strengthening....
Something.
Whatever you do exercise is about moving the limitations you currently have.
Just like weight training, your supposed to do more, lift heavier or increase reps...
(that's why it's real name is progressive weight resistance training)
If you follow a plan which gets progressively harder in some way, you'll see ongoing benefits. Simple.
If you fail to plan then you're planning to fail so don't even think about buying one of these things unless you're prepared to focus on making something improve.
Speed, strength, stamina, it really doesn't matter which, but if you don't decide before you start, what you actually want to achieve, and follow a plan, then you'll fall into the trap of doing the same thing everytime and in a few weeks you'll feel like you're getting nowhere.
Buy a life fitness x5 elliptical trainer, only if you are determined to set a course on your ongoing improvement. Other wise you'll just be wasting your money.
