It turns out that one piece of rubber can replace the whole gym - of course, with the right selection, the correct technique of exercises and due diligence. This allows you to implement a rubber expander - a sports device that has a lot of varieties that will work through almost any muscle group. The multifunctionality of such a simple object is really amazing - you can do with it as light gymnastics, and engage in full-fledged work with muscle mass, because the force that you need to apply to accomplish this or that exercise can be very different - it depends on the type of expander.
What is a rubber expander?
Rubber expander for fitness is a universal cushioning device that allows you to perform exercises on different muscle groups with varying degrees of intensity. At its core, the sports expander is a rubber tourniquet, which can have different density and tensile strength. There are leg and hand options that have the function of adjusting the tension force - for example, consisting of several rubber bundles, which can be removed one at a time to reduce the intensity of training.
Exercises with a rubber expander can really be very different. When starting a lesson, especially if you are a beginner, you should carefully monitor the correct technique of performing the exercises - whether standing up, squeezing the expander with your foot and simple stretching with your hands (in front of you or behind your back), or sitting, also with or without clipping, or with overturning. Rubber foot expander is more massive and has a more difficult stretching than hand or carp.
Carpenter's expander
There is a special kind of this sporting projectile - a hand -held expander - a rubber shock absorber in the form of a ring. Such an adaptation, first of all, is designed to develop the small muscles of the hand, palms and fingers, strengthening them. Training with a rubber hand expander is available almost anywhere at any time - in the office, at home, while standing in a traffic jam. As a result of such activities, the fingers and the hand become stronger, the dexterity of the hand increases, the muscles of the forearm are pumped through due to the fact that they also participate in contraction of the palm. A carpal expander is a rubber ring, which can be of different sizes, density (an indication of how easy it is to squeeze) and colors. The latter is just a generally recognized indicator in determining the degree of elasticity of the rubber ring:
- yellow - weak degree of load. With a carpal expander of yellow color, novices, children, teenagers and fragile girls can be engaged;
- red - the middle degree, the most common. Such an expander will suit an average man who does not devote much time to sports and fintesu, as well as to women who, on the contrary, are engaged in a lot;
- blue - the highest degree of load, such an expander is the hardest to squeeze. It is designed for advanced athletes, the intensity of training with him is higher than all others.
Also, the size of the brush load can be indicated in the marking on the expander pack. The color of the rubber ring in this case is not limited to three options.
