Dear Friend,

You may know SMARTGYM as the ultimate home and travel gym. But did you know it's a great cardio machine, too? 

That's right... 

SMARTGYM is an exceptionally effective, easy-to-use cardio exercise machine that burns up to 840 calories per hour!

That's almost twice the calorie-burning potential of most treadmills!

How does SMARTGYM do it?

SMARTGYM is so much more effective because the system allows you to incorporate upper body strength moves into your cardio training routine... at the same time! 

By involving more muscle mass -- not just the large muscles of your legs, but also your chest, back, shoulders, and arms -- your body burns more calories.

Just read what Shelley has to say about losing weight with SMARTGYM...

But burning calories to help reduce your body fat is only the start. Regular cardio training leads to numerous other health benefits...

	Cardio strengthens your heart and lungs against heart disease, the leading cause of premature death for both men and women.
	Cardio helps increase your bone mass.
	Cardio helps increase your overall muscle tone. Although to increase muscle strength, you need to strength train.
	Cardio has even been linked in some studies to improvements in patients with depression.

The basic premise of cardio training is this...

If you elevate your heart rate to 65-80 percent of your maximum Age Predicted Heart Rate and keep it there for a period of 12 minutes, it will stimulate the production of fat-burning enzymes, strengthen your heart muscle, and increase the capacity of your lungs to re-oxygenate your blood more efficiently. 

The idea is NOT to work yourself into a frenzy and go beyond your target heart rate. The goal is to stay within that magic training range of 65-80 percent of your maximum heart rate, for a minimum of 12 minutes and, optimally, for 20-30 minutes.

Many people believe the primary purpose of aerobics is to burn off excess calories while they're doing the exercise, but that's not exactly true. Think about it, most aerobic activity can only burn off several hundred calories even when you exercise for an entire hour. Eat a hamburger with fries and you're already playing catch up, and you just had lunch! 

The real purpose of cardiovascular exercise is to stimulate the growth of the body's own natural fat-burning enzymes long term so that your body burns more and more calories all the time, not just when you're exercising. If you increase the size of the fireplace, you can burn more logs in it. The same principle applies to the calorie-burning potential of your body.

Okay, the key is to elevate your heart rate. But how do you do that? Walking, jogging, running, cycling, rowing, jumping rope, running in place, and aerobic dancing are all fine. As long as your heart rate is elevated into your target training range and remains there for 12 minutes, minimum, any of those activities will do a pretty good job. 

"But if you want a super aerobic
workout... you need SMARTGYM!"

Why? 

Because SMARTGYM gives you an edge that no other machine can.  

Not only can you walk, jog, or run against SMARTGYM's formidable dynamic variable resistance, but you can also do all your upper body strength exercises at the same time. And since you're able to engage more muscle groups simultaneously, you get results faster.

Target training and the myth of spot reducing

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I'll say it again...

There is no such thing as spot reduction! I know, I know, you've seen numerous products advertised on TV that promise to shrink your abs, hips, and thighs dramatically in just a couple of minutes a day. But, celebrity spokespersons notwithstanding, it just ain't so. 

Any fat you lose -- short of plastic surgery -- comes off in the same proportion that it's stored in your body. 

For example, if you carry most of your fat weight in your hips and thighs (like most women), then those areas will be the last to slim down. If you carry your fat weight around your waist (like most men), then your significant other will most likely have something to hang onto right up until the very end of the reduction process. 

You can target train your abs with sit ups and crunches "until the cows come home" and you WILL develop rock hard abs, but until you lose the layer of subcutaneous fat covering them your abs won't be visible. Nor will any other muscles in your body, either.

That's why strength training is so essential. Yes, you can lose weight through aerobic exercise and dieting, but without strength training you'll also lose lean body mass. That actually lowers your metabolism, making your body burn even less calories than when you started the diet in the first place. 

And strength training is the only way to reshape your body. The most effective exercise program is one that incorporates both strength training and cardiovascular training coupled with sensible low-fat eating habits.

That's exactly what SMARTGYM lets you do. And that's why you get visible results so fast!

Because it's so versatile, you can move and rotate in any direction, at any angle, against smooth, dynamic, fixed-point resistance that adjusts to YOUR strength level.

Why is this important? 

	Because now you can exercise in the same way your body moves naturally. So you get stronger and more flexible in your body's own core movements, while reducing your chance of injury dramatically.
	SMARTGYM allows you to flow from movement to movement, just as you do in real life. Most people don't naturally move mechanically, in straight lines, according to a machine's idea of the proper angle and direction, so why would you want to exercise that way?
	Plus, using SMARTGYM's natural motion flow, you get the cardio benefit, burning calories AND strengthening your heart and lungs at the same time!

Just remember, you can have rock hard abs and still look paunchy. You've got to lose the layer of fat that's covering them to reveal your "6-pack." That means burning calories with aerobics and changing your eating habits to balance "calories-in" (calories eaten) against "calories-out" (calories expended).

SMARTGYM is so effective because it provides all the elements to burn fat and calories and strength train simultaneously... 

...All you have to do is cycle through the exercises in a flowing, circuit training style, and you'll strengthen and tone the muscles while burning excess fat at the same time!

The SMARTGYM Cardio System is comprehensive, yet it's easy to understand, amazingly quick to do, and very effective. 

You'll see results in a few short weeks that will astound you, as the fat melts away to reveal your new firmer, chiseled body.
