For an ideal workout related to football, the Alpine Runner from TRUE Fitness is the perfect machine to train on. There are numerous workouts that you can achieve using the Alpine Runner, which is why it’s a must for any fitness facility.

Using the Alpine Runner, you can practice your incline training, which is great as you can imitate the rhythms of a real football game, such as walking around the pitch before then sprinting to the ball. This trains your body to get used to switching from the aerobic to the anaerobic system, and back again, more efficiently making you prepared for the different changes of pace throughout a football match.

Want to know the benefits of training with gradients, tests have shown that just a simple 20-minute walk at a 30% incline will burn 317 calories, at a 20% incline a user will burn 236 calories, and at 0% a user will burn 74 calories.

For added values, users can record heart rate throughout the duration of the workout by using either a compatible chest strap or the metal grips on the hand rails (CHR pads). The chest strap broadcasts the user’s heart rate to the Alpine Runner via a radio signal and the CHR pads then connect to a special computer circuit to extract the user’s heart rate to give a true reflection of how your fitness levels are.

Several professional football players from teams all over the world will all use HIIT in their routines leading up to match day.
