Putting your health first means staying fit and healthy. Of course, you can work out with your own body weight, but combining fitness with equipment makes your workout doubly efficient.
You see others using gym equipment to the full extent, but you personally don't really know much about it. The devices are strange to you, confusing, and you're afraid that you're likely to pull yourself a bit when you use them. Ah, exercise equipment.
There's no need to be afraid of fitness with equipment — beginners can get started right away. And with regular use, you'll improve your strength, weight, endurance, and tone, and make positive changes in your overall health and self-confidence. Add these top fitness tools to your Must-Workout With Next list:
You say you've never heard of them? Well, that's because you have our 15-minute Functional Xpress class haven't tried it yet. Sandbells are a hybrid of sandbags, kettlebells, medicine balls and dumbbells. Basically, they're a weighted device that activates your muscles during a workout. The outer core is made from a durable, stretchy fabric that allows you to grip easily. In contrast to some dumbbells and medicine balls, the Sandbell is specifically designed for ease of use to build muscle tone, increase endurance and strengthen the core of the body. They come in a variety of weights and sizes to suit all body types.
Think of a small, flat training ball that is divided in half with a lid at the top: That's a Bosu ball. This creative crescent is about the size of a wok and is a marvel for full-body workouts. It is ideal for stretching and bending as well as testing the strength of your core. Use it for exercises, face down, or face up, or even when you are standing. If you're in the mood for the latter, try standing on the ball and focusing on stabilizing yourself. This improves your posture and core. From squats to sit-ups, this exercise tool will move your body in ways you've never experienced before.
Ankle weights are already worn by many fitness enthusiasts around the world for various workouts, including aerobics and resistance training. They do exactly what the label says: They put stress on your ankles to improve endurance, strength, and muscle tone. These fabric ankle weights weigh between one and 10 pounds (depending on your specification) and are secured by a buckle. Be careful that they should never be used for running — this activity already puts stress on the joints and extra weight can cause injuries.
If you exercise with equipment and want to avoid slipping or injuring yourself, a mat can be important. Without a mat, a yogi would slide like an eel and fall like a tree (not the yoga postures we aim for). Mats are ideal for reducing impact where we would otherwise train directly on hard floors. Exercise mats, yoga mats, whatever; they're all important. We couldn't do without them.
Dynamite to increase muscle tone and endurance, these vinyl-coated hand weights come in various weights and sizes, making them suitable for both men and women. You can easily incorporate dumbbells into your daily workout, circuit training, and cardio program. Try to be creative while incorporating dumbbells into your sets: Moves like dumbbell skis burn fat very well. To do this, hold a pair of dumbbells on the sides with the hip spacing of the feet apart. Then push your hips back with the weight behind you and stretch your arms away from your body. As with a skier's movement, push your hips forward and gently bring the dumbbells back to shoulder height. And repeat.
