 Click Here

One of the latest cycling innovations, the electric walking bike, has come to the United States. Bruin Bergmeester, the inventor from Europe, custom built the walking bike in his home on evenings and weekends. After sitting down inside at work all day, he wanted to find a way to get outside into the fresh air and get beneficial exercise at the same time. So he found a way to combined a treadmill with a bicycle for practical outdoor exercise. The first two-wheeled electric treadmill, called the Lopifit, is available in the Netherlands, the Middle East and now, the United States.

    With The Electric Assist, It Takes No More 

Effort To Walk Than A "Walk In The Park"

The Lopifit's electric motor has a maximum range of 55 km or 34 miles with a display bar to show the battery status. According to the website: The Lopifit is a totally new way of moving. With the electric assist, it takes no more effort to walk than a "walk in the park". The electric assist in combination with the adjustable multi speed gears is boosting your walking pace up to the speed of a regular bike. 

The Lopifit comes equiped with an advanced Shimano Nexis transmission, LED lighting, a powerful Quantum electric motor and a convenient luggage carrier. It is built with a strong steel frame and is available in six colors.(Black, Royal Blue, Orange, Fire Engine Red, Silver, and White). 

Bruin Bergmeester:"Lopifit started as a small
idea when I was training in the Gym. How can
I use the treadmill outdoors? What about a
treadmill on wheels? So from my living room
I started to make my first Lopifit and took my
exercise outdoors. Even my wife loves it!

When you are walking on the Lopifit you push the treadmill backwards with your feet. A sensor registers the movement of the treadmill and gives a signal to an electric device which will activate the motor. The motor now supports you to continue the walking movement. Using the brake will shut off the motor immediately. If you are going downhill, a free wheel function is activated.

 The Lopifit Comes In 6 Colors.

Black, Royal Blue,Orange,Silver,

Fire Engine Red and White

Like it or not, the Lopifit is doing quite well for itself. If the Lopifit fits into your lifestyle, you can find it in one of these three world locations. Check out the Lopifit on the website closest to you.

Cycling For Runners?

Cross-training With Cycling

Cycling is one of the best ways to build overall fitness including cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength in your glut-es, quads and hamstrings and flexibility through your hips and ankles. The fitter you are overall, the stronger and faster you’ll be able to run! 

 5 specific benefits to cross-training:

1. Injury prevention: If you’re new to running, cross-training with cycling can help you establish a base of fitness and get your muscles and joints used to repetitive motion without the impact. As you begin to mix in more running mileage, you’ll be stronger and better able to handle the impact. This decreases the chance of injury and makes running much more fun! The same goes for seasoned runners. Cycling builds and helps maintain strength in the glut-es, quads and hamstrings, minimizing muscular imbalances that lead to injury.

Are You Getting Enough Physical Activity?

Regular physical activity – such as walking, cycling, or dancing – has significant benefits for health. For instance, it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and osteoporosis, help control weight, and promote psychological well-being. Everyone should engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day. More activity may be required for weight control.

Knowing the importance of physical activity and the health benefits of it, the next step is to make the necessary changes in life to obtain those positive advantages. "Oh the drudgery we must endure to care for our health" you are saying. Maybe it's not as bad as you think to make these changes. Changing how we go about our everyday task makes all the difference.

Incorporating Physical Activity Into Your Life is advantages to your health and well being. Lucky for all of us, becoming more physically active is a fairly easy. It’s just a matter of applying some simple principles into your life. In fact, you probably already are "physically active" and may not even know it. There are numerous activities that can be worked into the day that do not require going to the gym, or an aerobics class. 

At Home-It's convenient, comfortable and safe to work out at home. It allows your children to see you being active, which sets a good example for them. You can combine exercise with other activities, such as watching TV. If you buy exercise equipment, it's a one-time expense and other family members can use it. It's easy to have short bouts of activity several times a day. Try these tips:

Swim For Good Health

Summer is time to get outside and ride a bike, play ball, go on a hike, but what do you do on those extremely hot days? If you enjoy the outdoors for your regular fitness activities as I do, those hot summer days can put a damper on your quest for fun and good health. Doing too much out in the hot sun is also very dangerous. Extreme heat can cause dehydration, bring on a heat stroke or even become fatal. Going for a swim is a great alternative.

Swimming has many benefits that contribute to your overall good health. The heart and lungs can benefit from a bout of swimming and it can be a good cardio workout. It can serve as a cross-training element to your regular workouts. If you are a runner in training, swimming is a good activity that gets your heart rate up and takes some of the impact stress off your body.You can also nurse a knee or ankle injury back to health as you enjoy water fun and activity without putting undo strain on the injury.

Regular swimming builds endurance, muscle strength and cardio-vascular fitness. Before a land workout, you can use the pool for a warm-up session. Swimming with increasing effort to gradually elevate your heart rate and stimulate your muscle activity is easily accomplished in the water. After a land workout, swimming a few laps can help you cool down, move blood through your muscles to help them recover, and help you relax.

Shower immediately after swimming. Otherwise the chlorine from the pool water will dry out your skin and cause it to crack, which will make you more susceptible to infection. After a day in the pool, a nice shower or warm bath will make you feel super clean and refreshed and prepare you for a comfortable night sleep.
