Cardiovascular or cardio exercise helps in gaining heart health and burns fat by increasing the heart rate. Cardio fitness equipments include elliptical cross trainers, stair climbers, treadmills and stationary bikes. Mostly all cardio equipments have an attached monitor which displays the heart rate and provides other customized options like speed, distance covered (in miles or kilometers), calories burned, pulse rate and time. Thus it is an extremely simple process to track progress with cardiovascular equipments. These types of exercises and equipments are especially useful to those who wish to lose weight and burn calories. As opposed to the cardiovascular exercise, Strength training exercises are useful for those who wish to gain strength and tenacity. Free weights, bar exercises etc are the equipments used for strength training exercises. Some of these exercises do not allow you to use weights but allow using your body as the resistance.

Cardio glide exercise bikes are quite popular today. They prove extremely useful to those who wish to lose quick weight and tone their thighs, shins and buttocks. Cardio Glide exercise bikes have all modern features like an LCD monitor to display speed, distance, time, reps, total reps and calories burned. Many companies also offer chest, wrist and arm bands for pulse rate with their cardio glide bikes.

Weights can be attached on the bar under the seat to increase the resistance. Some bikes also provide a unique structure where your body weight serves as the resistance.
