Not everyone has the opportunity to regularly visit the fitness center, but they really want to be in good shape. For those looking to lose weight or build muscle, a home sports complex is a good choice.
Sports complex for the home - which exercise equipment is better to buy
If the apartment is small, it is better to stay on one or two simulators and a set of dumbbells. Correctly selected sports equipment will help you quickly get in shape.
Many, going to play sports at home, purchase an exercise bike. But it is not effective enough. On a stationary bike, only the lower body works vigorously. In addition, it burns quite a few calories. That is, to lose weight, you have to pedal for hours.
Much more effective in terms of weight loss is a ski simulator. Shoulders, abs, buttocks, legs work there. The load is greater and it is distributed evenly throughout the body. A treadmill has about the same effect. But it is quite difficult to use it for people with high blood pressure, too high body weight, as well as for those who have impaired coordination of movements.
For workouts to be effective, they must be regular - two to three times a week.
In addition to cardiovascular equipment, you need to buy dumbbells to increase muscle mass. It is better for women to choose a light weight - two to three kilograms. Otherwise, the muscles will grow too quickly, making the silhouette look like a man's. Representatives of the stronger sex should be guided by their own feelings. If this is the first lesson, and there was no physical activity before, you need to take dumbbells with a small weight. And then gradually move on to more.
In addition to dumbbells for the home, you can purchase a rubber mat. It will help keep your feet from slipping during fitness and aerobics. A special bench will also be useful. It is convenient to train on it with dumbbells, pump the press, and do push-ups.
Children's sports complexes - where to start
Today's children move quite a bit, and parents are concerned about increasing their physical activity. The children's complex can be purchased when the baby is four to five years old. At this age, he is already intelligent enough to become interested in sports.
When choosing a sports complex for a child, do not forget about safety. Buy mats to place on the floor. Then the baby, even if it falls, will not hit.
For a start, it is better to buy the simplest complex - with ladders and rings. Climbing up and down, the child will train the muscles of the arms and legs, improve coordination of movements. At first, help your baby, show him some exercises that you can do at home. Warm up with your child to instill in him a love of sports by example.
