Surrounded by vain affairs, we rarely find time for ourselves. Cooking food, feeding babies, cleaning … Exercising in the gym seems like an unaffordable luxury both in terms of time and money. And not everyone will allow themselves to buy home sports simulators. There is a way out, you just need to take a closer look at what surrounds us at home.
Instructions
Step 1
The main sports equipment in fitness is dumbbells. Let's try to find a replacement for them. Most often, plastic bottles filled with water are used for this purpose. But such shells have 2 drawbacks - they are inconvenient to hold and the water in the bottle constantly shifts the center of gravity, which makes it difficult to keep the desired rhythm. The way out is to take small bottles and pour sand, salt or rice into them. Salt is much heavier than water, which means that a dumbbell with the same weight can be made smaller.
Step 2
A gymnastic roller, which helps to pump the muscles of the press and back in the gym, can be replaced with a rolling pin. In order for it to spin freely, its cones must be inserted into plastic or metal tubes of a larger diameter. It is simple to work with such a simulator: sit on your knees on the floor, put a rolling pin in front of you and, straining your abdominal muscles, roll it forward, and then also return to its original position.
Step 3
A real gymnastic hoop is quite heavy. The greater the weight of the hoop, the stronger its massage effect, the more the abdominal muscles are worked out. Buy a regular hoop, cut it and put the same sand, rice or salt inside. Then connect the ends and wrap gently with duct tape. When you start twisting, do not be surprised by the appearance of bruises. This is normal. Over time, the skin on the abdomen will tone up, the blood vessels will strengthen, and bruises will no longer appear.
Step 4
Adjust a sofa or couch under the bench. Stand with your back to her, lean on your hands, bring your elbows back. Slowly lower and rise, bending and unbending your arms. This is the so-called reverse push-up, which works the muscles of the arms very effectively. If you substitute a stool under your feet, then the effectiveness of the exercise will increase significantly.
