Better Balance

Improving your leg strength will improve your balance - The Truth on Fitness: Developing Better Balance. Use the Eagle Leg Press with a moderate to light weight. Push hard and fast to develop power, for 10 to 15 repetitions, then rest and do it again. Use the same strategy on the calf raise to develop the muscles around the ankle.

Work Out Intensity

The human body is designed to work in short bursts. You can lose more weight, improve your cardiac function, and can even help modulate insulin levels when you perform brief, high intensity, exercise intervals. The next time you’re on a bike or Arc Trainer, try pushing really hard for 10 to 30 seconds and then go slow for the next minute.
