Beach season is right around the corner, calling for tighter, toned abdominal muscles. Many calisthenic exercises target the "abs," yet fitness and health experts agree it is equally important to burn the fat covering those muscles. Losing belly flab reduces the risk of heart disease and uncovers those abs you've worked so hard for. But for effective fat burning, you need a cardiovascular workout. If you own a Gazelle exercise machine, you can achieve both ends by adjusting your cardiovascular workout to include abdominal-targeting moves. This way, you can burn off excess fat and tone your ab muscles simultaneously.
Tony Little's Gazelle is a piece of low-impact aerobic exercise equipment that is marketed on television infomercials. The Gazelle can be used by both novice exercisers or expert fitness gurus because it comes with adjustable resistance. If you know how to properly utilize the Gazelle, you can use it to both lose weight and build muscle.
As of August 2010, you can purchase the "as seen on TV" Gazelle fitness machine for between $100 and $250. The device can hold up to 300 pounds of weight and features cushioned handle bars, wide foot pedals and a display system that provides information on distance, time and calories burned. The Gazelle Elliptical trainer claims to provide a calorie-scorching, low-impact aerobic workout. The machine includes an eating plan booklet and a workout DVD.
