For a portable and compact piece of exercise equipment, the benefits of using it are more than its size. With this, you do not need a gym membership or a cardiovascular machine that are very expensive to give your body a good workout. If you use this machine as a part of your every day or weekly routine, it will greatly improve your cardiovascular system. It will also shed off calories and will sweat your body out. Other exercise buffs use their arms or legs to a strenuous heart pumping and muscle tearing activity with this equipment for optimum results.
