I recently found that a lot of people are wondering how to use the Weslo Cardio Glide. First of all the Weslo Cardio Glide is a simple machine with a big handle, a seat and that’s about it, my personal opinion is that it is an ugly looking thing.

While I think the Weslo Cardio Glide is good for stretching your back. It seems to provide very little support making it a dangerous machine especially for those that choose to use it at a fast speed. For that purpose you should have a strong core and great balance.

Now what you do on the Weslo Cardio Glide is simply move back and forth as though you are rowing a boat. It provides a curving and awkward motion. I personally would recommend a rowing machine over the Weslo Cardio Glide, because it is more beginner friendly, and not nearly as awkward. You still should have a strong core due to the excessive low back motion that you should avoid using the rowing machine.

My recommendation is don’t use the Weslo Cardio Glide. The rowing machine will allow you to work your legs while the Weslo Cardio Glide will not. You will simply burn more calories on the rowing machine because you are using more of your muscles as you use your whole legs, core for stabilization and your arms.

Once you get the form and technique down for both of these machines you will see that the rowing machine provides a much better cardio workout over the Weslo Cardio Glide. Unless you like an awkward bike for your hands I would say skip on this piece of equipment.

Get an exercise ball, it will provide you with much more home activities that you can work your whole body with and it is great for your core muscles. I also suggest for home based workouts using dumbbells. You may even consider buying Dumbbell Routines and Exercises this eBook provides you with a complete home workout providing you much more value than the Weslo Cardio Glide.
