We will launch the third article of gifts that start with f as a topic on Fitness Equipment. Friends who are interested in fitness or want to keep fit are welcome to refer to it.

Fitness Equipment

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. This sentence is really reflected in every stage of fitness! Everyone knows the benefits of fitness. However, only those who have experienced it know that the most important factor in moving from “persisting in pain” to “loving in enjoyment” is to buy a fitness artifact that truly solves physical pain.

Next, I will give a “brief” introduction to some of the equipment I use from three scenarios: before fitness, during fitness, and after fitness. Let everyone grasp the pleasure of shopping itself – heartily.

 

Before Fitness

When we are not exercising, our bodies are relatively stiff, so we all need to do stretching exercises before exercising. It is like telling the cells of major tissues in the body in advance to say “get ready, I am about to move.” Fitness exercises also No exception. However, due to the intensity of fitness, compared with daily exercise such as running, the intensity is greater. At this time, in addition to the improvement of body flexibility brought by stretching exercises, it is also extremely necessary to improve the elasticity of connective tissues through muscle stretching. This It can make your fitness effect more obvious.

Fascia Gun

When stretching muscles, having a fascial gun to assist can get twice the result with half the effort. The fascia gun, also known as the deep myofascial impact instrument, is a soft tissue massage tool that relaxes the soft tissues of the body through high-frequency impact.

This thing has been very windy in recent years. Almost all the coaches in our gym are on hand. The function is to stretch fascia and muscles, but the prices of different brands and styles vary greatly, and the quality is also uneven.

What is more recommended is one with a hot compress function. You can massage and apply heat at the same time. It is like putting heat directly into the muscles. It is a pleasure to use it to massage and relax the muscles.

Stretch rope

You can use the fascia gun to stretch your muscles, and you can use the stretching rope to relax and move your joints. The exercise intensity of figure-8 stretching ropes like this one is not too high, but it does require mobilizing body coordination. For those who work hard at the gym, it is quite good to use it to stretch their muscles.

 

Fitness Process

The most important role of fitness equipment in the fitness process is to protect yourself from injury; secondly, it is comfortable to wear during exercise, which can improve the training effect.

Fitness Gloves

Prevent blisters: When you first start lifting weights, your hands will easily blister, and they will hurt for a while. A pair of fitness gloves is very important for novices. Once they become calluses, they will no longer be needed.

Prevent slipping: Fitness gloves help increase the friction between the palm and the fitness equipment, making the dumbbell or barbell more stable and non-slip. It has a better protective effect and improves exercise effects for novices.

Gloves really help a lot when you first start practicing. When your strength increases, these ordinary gloves will become a hindrance, and then you will enter the next stage, power belts and wristbands. After practicing for a period of time, calluses have formed on your hands. At this time, you can switch from gloves to straps. When purchasing fitness gloves, just pay attention to the following points: breathability, non-slip, and strong toughness.

 

Wrist Bandage

In the gym, I often hear people say that their wrists hurt. Movements such as bench presses can injure your wrists if they are not performed properly. When the strength increases, movements such as bench pressing will increase the pressure on the wrists. Wrist bandages can prevent yourself from being injured due to loss of strength and movement deformation. A pair of fitness wristbands can protect yourself very well.

I think it is very useful to tighten this according to your own situation. When I first started practicing, I used gloves a lot, but then I didn’t like gloves anymore as my strength increased.

 

Booster Belt

Booster belt, boost. In these “pull” movements, the power-assisted belt is very useful. When many people deadlift, their forearms are not strong enough and they fail quickly, and their back is not trained at all. A pair of booster belts can greatly increase your grip strength. Improve the effect of back exercise.

Power-assisted straps are suitable for “pull” movements such as pull-ups, deadlifts, and rowing. For bench press and curling movements, it has little effect, and you still need to use a wrist bandage to protect yourself.

 

Belt

The fitness belt is a fitness aid that we usually use when practicing compound movements such as squats and deadlifts. It is developed to protect our waist from injury.

The lower back of our human body is relatively fragile compared to the entire trunk, has a slower recovery speed, and is more prone to fatigue and soreness.

Once you train with too much weight during fitness training, it is easy to accidentally injure yourself, and wearing a fitness belt can prevent this from happening.

 

Quick-drying clothes/sports short-sleeves/sports vests

Professional quick-drying clothes are not made of cotton or linen. Cotton and linen absorb water and are not easy to dry. Most of the quick-drying fabrics on the market are made of polyester or nylon. A good quick-drying garment feels silky smooth and light. It is very comfortable to wear, breathable, and fine workmanship.

For quick-drying clothes that are worn directly next to the body, it is best to wear professional sports brands. Compared with no-name brands, professional sports brands can guarantee the quality and are comfortable to wear. The same goes for sports short-sleeves and sports vests.

 

Sports Shoes

For upper body training, wear whatever you want.

For lower body training, wear hard-soled, flat-soled shoes. Heavy weight, requires stability to prevent injuries. (Don’t wear running shoes with soft soles and elasticity)

For small weights, wear it casually, and it is best to find someone to protect your squatting legs.

 

After Fitness

The equipment you need after a workout is nothing more than stretching and rest.

Fascia Gun

Stretching before a workout and stretching after a workout are all done in one step, reaching deep into the muscles, leaving you feeling refreshed and not painful!

 

Water Cup

Lightweight: Of course, the lighter the better for daily carrying.

Reliable and durable: resistant to falling, shaking, washing, high temperature, and no leakage.

Easy to clean: After drinking protein powder and the like, you can clean it by rinsing it a few times, and the mouth and lid of the cup will not hide dirt.

Easy to use: easy to open and close, non-slip to hold.

Material safety: does not contain bisphenol A and other harmful substances.

 

Towel

There’s not much to say about this. Don’t be too thick, be light and thin, and feel good. Wash it after every use. It is best to absorb sweat and dry quickly.

 

Body Fat Scale

The data measured by the body fat scale can allow us to clearly judge whether we are fat or thin, and it also has certain guiding significance for monitoring our physical health. A lot of data is also very important for fitness people to formulate diet and exercise plans.
