5 training machines for the whole body that embarrass your treadmill
1. MIRROR
What looks like an elegant mirror is, in fact, an interactive gym at home hidden in an LCD screen and controlled through the iOS application (shown in the image above). For $ 39 a month you can broadcast live and on demand classes with Mirror trainers in boxing, HIIT, yoga and more. A built-in camera allows trainers to see it and shout comments in real time, and by early 2019 you can access individual training outside of classes. Meanwhile, trainers can help you get to a target heart rate zone by analyzing the health data you synchronize from your Apple Watch via Bluetooth. "Target heart rate training is excellent as a motivator and a way to measure progress, either to burn fat or endurance," said Steve Uria, trainer of professional athletes and owner of Switch Playground in New York. "The mirror does that very well". $ 1,495, mirror.co
2. Technogym SKILLBIKE
Sorry, Peloton, this new stationary bike is the only one with real gearshift that makes you feel like you are riding trails. Able to simulate slopes from -3% to 15%, the bike forces you to change as your resistance changes and carefully tracks your power and RPM on a 7-inch LCD console, along with speed, heart rate and distance pedaled. "Climbing on slopes can be an excellent way to build strength," said Jacque Crockford, content manager of exercise physiology at the American Council of Exercise. "When combined with the mental challenge of actually changing gears, it can also help build confidence and speed." Synchronize SKILLBIKE with your Strava or
accounts, and you can ride routes drawn by cyclists all over the real world. $ 4,790, technogym.com
3. Hydrow
Rowing uses approximately 86% of the muscles of the body, compared to 44% for cycling or running, which makes it one of the most efficient cardiovascular exercises. "When you use your upper and lower body simultaneously, you burn many more calories," Mr. Uria said. With flowing lines that look as good in the water as in a living room, the elegant Hydrow allows you to train with the Olympic champions through their touch screen monitor while they paddle live in the water. For $ 38 a month, you can access workouts of 5 to 60 minutes in four intensity levels. And instead of a noisy wheel or chain of fans, its computer-controlled resistance technology automatically adjusts 100 times per second to help you slip into a workout, which makes it ideal for home use. $ 2,199; hydrow.com
4. ICAROS Home
Launched in August, ICAROS seems like something you would find in a NASA lab, not in a home gym. The company calls it "active VR": when using a VR headset, it lies in the position of the board, takes its two handles and then flies, skies, swims or drives through virtual worlds controlling the gyro with its body (custom-made which moves, involves the main muscles, with a focus on the body and upper body, and tests their reflexes and coordination). "The involvement of the core muscles and the promotion of balance is an important aspect of fitness, while the gamification of a workout keeps you engaged," said Ms. Crockford. The machine works with VR headsets such as HTC Vive, Oculus Go and Samsung Gear VR, as well as Samsung tablets. $ 2,800, icaros.com
5. Bowflex HVT
The HVT means "hybrid speed training"; In other words, it combines short bursts of cardio and total body strength training for an intense workout that burns fat and builds muscle in 20 minutes. The HVT comes with three preprogrammed training modes, as well as Bluetooth technology, to allow you to synchronize additional workouts from a smartphone application and track your progress and statistics. "With different resistance, tempo and directional configurations, this machine can help improve its strength, power and endurance when used consistently," said Ms. Crockford. It is neither small nor particularly elegant, but it allows you to devise an unusual amount of exercise programs. $ 1,799, bowflex.com
