While the country is slowly emerging from the self-isolation regime, many have already noticed that for their figure it has not passed without a trace. Stress, overeating and almost complete lack of activity were deposited in the form of extra pounds. Not everyone has the opportunity to sign up for a fitness club, and you need to tidy yourself up before vacation right now. We have collected for you a small selection of home exercise equipment that will help you get in shape.
Balance cushion
Advertising promises a wide range of possibilities – foot and back massage, vestibular training and posture improvement. In reality, a silicone disc with pimples is only good for strengthening balancing skills.
Jump rope
As a child, we did not even suspect that a jump rope is an excellent simulator. Now we know and appreciate. Rope training is energy-intensive, burns a lot of calories, improves coordination and strengthens muscles. The rope is inexpensive and does not take up much space in the apartment.
Fitball
On the Web, you can find many complexes designed for exercises with a gymnastic ball. Regular workouts help you lose weight, improve your well-being and posture, and massage balls (with soft spikes) are effective in fighting cellulite and stretch marks.
Health disc
If you need to remove excess fat from the sides and tummy, you can spin on a flat disc. But one should not expect bright miracles. Such activities are just a light warm-up before a serious workout.
Exercise machine “Lose weight”
The unit is also known as the Dolinov simulator. It consists of a block fixed to the wall and two ropes with loops at the ends. According to the author’s idea, an overweight individual should insert his arms and legs into the loops and begin to actively move them. The idea is interesting, but the device is easy to build from scrap materials and save money.
Press roller
Simple mechanism of two wheels and handles. Has a compact size and low cost even for branded models. If done correctly (with a straight back), a flat tummy is guaranteed.
Expander
Elastic bands with handles, variations of elastic balls or rings – the expander device is not very complex and is aimed strictly at a specific muscle group. The advantage of this thing is its reasonable price.
Vibrating platform
Actively affects the skin, promotes rapid fat burning and collagen production. For lessons on a vibrating platform, a sparing mode is characteristic, but the list of contraindications includes many diseases. Therefore, a consultation with a doctor will not be superfluous.
Mini exercise bike
Smooth pedaling helps you shed excess weight in your hips and ankles without serious effort; in parallel, the knee joints are strengthened. Bicycles are the most popular machines in personal gyms.
Stepper
Simulates climbing stairs. “Fancy” devices are complemented by racks with handrails, timers and sensors that show calorie consumption, distance traveled, and so on. A suitable option for those who want to pump up their hips and buttocks.
