Simulators are special devices that allow a person to train certain muscle groups. Due to such characteristics as static, as well as the forced correct position of the body, training on the simulators soon enough to achieve the result due to the correct performance of the exercises. In the variety of sports simulators it is easy to get confused, so we list the main types of these units.
Types of cardio machines
Cardiovascular devices give the body a metered aerobic load, which allows to increase endurance and general condition of the cardiovascular system, as well as lose weight and harmonize the parameters of the figure. Modern cardio is equipped with many additional functions, such as calculating the lost calories and distance traveled. However, the main criterion is still the control of heart rate. Heart rate for cardio exercises is calculated individually depending on the physical state of the body, as well as on the tasks assigned. So, for example, for intensive weight loss, the heart rate should be 70-90% of the maximum heart rate.
The most popular devices that give cardio loads are treadmills, exercise bikes, steppers, elliptical trainers, as well as a simulator that simulates the movements of the oarsman.
Types of simulators for the press
To achieve the ideal press "cubes" can not do without special devices, the main of which are:
- Benches for pumping the press . By its modification are both direct and inclined, and even with an uneven massage surface. The last benches allow you to use more muscle and give more power, so they are often used in good gyms.
- Gymnastics roller . It is a wheel with handles on both sides. When rolling the wheel away from itself from the position on the knees, a beautiful shape of the abdomen is formed, and the muscles of the shoulders, hips and even buttocks are involved.
- Torso track . It is more suitable for professional athletes because of the severity of doing exercises on it.
- Hoop or hula-hoop . Remarkably reduces the tone of the weakened abdominal muscles and, in regular exercises, quickly reduces the waist.
Types of power simulators
Power simulators are usually divided into two main types: devices with blocks and independent.
To simulators with a consolidated weight include weights, weights, dumbbells . The main advantage of such simulators is the freedom of movement that they give. This allows you to use more muscle.
Block simulators are static devices weighed down by metal slabs-weights. Such types of simulators allow you to selectively work on a certain group of muscles or even one
Also to power training equipment include horizontal bars. They are referred to the second most popular simulators after dumbbells. With the help of such equipment it is possible to do pull-up. This exercise allows you to use most of the muscles. But the main load is on the back and hands. These simulators are presented in a wide range. They differ in their design. There are wall, spacer, ceiling or hinged.
Types of home exercisers
Filling gyms home hall directly depends on the goals that the person poses. If it is weight loss, then you can do with several types of cardiovascular equipment and supplement them with dumbbells or weights.
However, if the task is to "pumping" all the muscles, then without serious block simulators and the bar is indispensable, the good is their choice is large enough, and the price is not very high.
