I felt too intimidated to try weight lifting again on my own, but wanted to experience the benefits those gym workouts provide, which is quite different to my typical routine of pilates, tennis and pole. Simultaneously, I've been working toward a solid home gym situation (while understanding my limited space in a one-bedroom in Queens). I began investigating full out home gym tech, and AEKE stood out as the most exciting of the bunch, because it most similarly aligned with having a personal trainer. I tried out the AEKE Smart Home Gym K1 with the Bench.
In the study, they tracked 121 adults aged between 18 and 50 and split them into two groups. All underwent cardiovascular fitness tests and were quizzed about their lifestyle. Two days later, all participants then gave blood samples and had an electroencephalographic (EEG) scan to record the electrical activity of the brain. The first group then did sets of weight exercises of moderate difficulty, while the other was asked to watch a video of adults performing resistance exercises. The resistance exercises lasted for 42 minutes.
