Fitness technology stepping up
With all ot the new fit
ness technology that
is constantly surfac
ing. it becomes difficult to
sort out which exercise or ma
chine is right for each person
and which is really |us! a
product of tiype
A machine that is steadily
gaining popularity in local
health clubs and weight
rooms is the StairMaster It
simulate1, the act of climbing
stairs but also offers adjust
able resistance tor each per
son's fitness level
But dues the StairMaster
actually work muscles that
older types of fitness equip
ment did hot ' According to
Dave Van Maren of Oregon
West Fitness, this machine
has an entirely different effect
on the body than tree weights
or the Universal system
StairMaster is an aerobe
activity. Van Maren said It
uses (at as t he main fuel
source while strengthening
the lower body
Compared to other aer
obic technology, including
stationary bicycles and cross
country skiing StairMaster is
an exc ellent workout he e*
plained
The Harry Jerome Weight
Center in Esslinger recently
acquired a StairMaster A,
cording to Wendy Simmons ot
University Recreation and In
tramurals. The machine was
added because of a demand
tor new technology as well as
lor the uniqueness of the fea
lures that it offers
The StairMaster gets used
a lot more by women than
men, Simmons said Worn
en tend to do more cardiovas
cular oriented exercises, and
men generally do building or
anaerobic activities though
those trends are beginning to
change
Due to StauMaster's popu
lardy she said. We really
want to get another one, but
yr>oxo Dy jen ►'•nay
Oregon West members take advantage ot StairMaster machines which
have become staples at local Illness clubs
because of budget problems
it's not going to happen in the
near future "
Soloflex equipment, on the
Other hand is yet another fit
ness alternative It is heavily
advertised, and the campaign
gives the viewer the impres
Sion that the machines can
build a lot of muscle
The people in the adver
tisements look strong and
this could work for some peo
pie. but Soloflex equipment
does not offer much resist
anr.e Van Maren said It’s
mainly for people who haven't
worked out very much and are
looking primarily for a toning

Free weights and Universal
systems otter a wide variety
of strengthening exercises
The Universal system is ad
vantageous, especially for
someone who is beginning
because the machines do not
require spotters
A person can move trom
one station to another, work
mg various muscles without
having to worry about main
taming complete control
Free weights require a lot ot
movement control and
strength as well as a spotter
tor the more difficult hits.'
Van Maren said
Dumbbells resistance de
vices and other free weights
are also being used to tone
and build muscular endurance
in cardiovascular workouts
New fitness devices that
are beginning to surface, or
that will be seen in Eugene
within the next year, include
Versaclimbers and Orbitron
The Versaclimber resem
bles the StairMaster, but has
an added feature that allows
arm resistance to simulate
rock climbing Also emerging
are new treadmills that cush
ion leg impact, and fully re
cumbent bicycles that relieve
stress on the lower back
Another new device is the
Orbitron, a circular machine
that surrounds the person It
consists of four rings and
when the fust is removed, the
person can rotate end over
end When the second is re
moved the rotation may go
side to side as well If the
third ring is taken away, the
person can rotate in any direc
tion
According to L J Hoselton
of Northwest Fitness, "It
(Orbitron) gives a person a full
body workout because it uti
Iizq£ all muscles, especially
abdominals, to rotate the ma
chine,"
