dumbbells

resistance machines

You get a variety of them in most gyms and various other involving the use of different muscles. Examples would be the bench press or leg curl machine . These machines work on the muscle, without even thinking about your technique. This is due to the machine being in a fixed position . All you have to worry about is if you need to push or pull . They are ideal for beginners because they can jump into the seat , read the signs that are usually in the device and go.

weight

With dumbbells , you can do isolation exercises and compound exercises that work a sweat. Weight come in all sizes and weight, so there is no excuse not to use them. Focus on your biceps with bicep curls , squats with them at your side to make your situation more difficult to perform a squat or dumbbell exercises as Woodchop all the orbs . No weight limits and can hit every muscle with them with proper exercise .

kettle bells

The bell or girya kettle ( Russian) is a cast iron weight ( resembling a cannonball with a handle) used to perform ballistic exercises that combine cardiovascular, strength and flexibility. This team can give you workout if used correctly a great session. The kettle bell is like no other piece of equipment , so why was very popular for a long time . They can be a little awkward at first , so be patient and have a play with it . At first , I recommend you try a swing kettle bell to get an idea of the strange shape of the weight then try sumo squats and extensions kettle bell . Once you get the hang of it , you can try to use weights , then things get complicated. Overall , a large piece of equipment .

dumbbells

Barbells are very similar to weight in a way that you can do most of the same exercises. The bar is much larger and requires two hands to perform most of the plays. Large movements are provided by a slash, such as the Olympic lifts. This requires a bit of practice before you get too involved with the weight, but are brilliant for all body strength and power.

wire machines

Most beginners stay away from machines cables because they feel they do not know what to do. The truth is that it is easier to use cables using height weight , why? Machines similar to the resistance of the cable is already configured to have to work on technique and angle . You can do all the basics in a cable machine curls, bench press, squats, etc. You see most people doing triceps pull downs, as it is difficult to get the same movement with other pieces of equipment. The only drawback cables are there usually only a game for the gym which means it is usually waiting around . Always exercise alternative if you're in the left tail.

pull bars

As a beginner, you will not meet the bar to pull up the heat, but do not forget them completely . Pushups are great for your lats , shoulders and arms. Change your grip so that your palms are facing these muscles work too , but put more emphasis on the biceps. If you're lucky, you might have a practical back machine agent gym, otherwise negative pull ups with pull ups . To do this jump bar and slowly drop . That work the muscles needed to pull and eventually try some full pulls.

racks

These are pieces that look heavy industrial metals, which occupy much space in the gym , but for good reason. The racks are mainly used to perform squats with a bar, a popular exercise . Allows the weight on top so you do not have to lift the weight of the soil ( take a lot of energy from you before potentially large elevators ) .

banks

A bench can be used in several ways. Used for bank , climb , build , and relax on . The problem with the bank is that most gyms do not have enough of them, and as cables ending wait . If this is the case , most of the exercises in the bank left standing .

cardio machines

Very often, a treadmill , rowing , cross trainer or bike will be in your local gym . In these machines can improve your endurance, burn calories and work your heart stronger. Most people think that cardio machine is the machine to burn fat ultimate , but this is not the case . The practice of weight training can burn as many calories as you can in a cardio machine . When do cardio if your main goal is to burn calories stick to no more than 20 minutes or do interval training or fartlek training .

medicine balls

These can be used in a number of ways and is a large piece of equipment. Most gyms have a variety of them as most people do not know what to do with them. The balls can be used to do crunches , most compound movements and can literally be shot . How many pieces of equipment can throw around without a gym ban , not much, why not have a go? Find a flat wall where you can launch the ball hard into the wall, recovered the ball and repeat. Throw the ball to the chest as a player of women's basketball . You can also try to slam slamming the ball on the ground , pick it up and repeat. These are great exercises to burn a lot of calories.

You should not be afraid to have a go at something in the gym and if you are unsure ask a member of staff, a fitness instructor enjoy helping and do not do much in the portion which is changed anyway . Everyone starts at the bottom and has no idea what they do and that goes for guys who wear vests now too, so have a go and try your best .
