Some actually do work! We’re going to talk about 8 fitness products that will actually make a difference during your workout.
Fitness Products
- Foam Roller: They help release the tension from knots forming in various parts of your body as you work out. Rolling can help relieve muscle fatigue, increase flexibility/mobility, and can assist with soreness and muscle tightness.
- Medicine Ball: These are versatile and perfect for building power. There are many different kinds of medicine balls–soft ones, hard ones, ones with handles or extra grips. It’s probably best to choose a weight that is slightly challenging rather than buying multiple weighted balls.
- Jump Rope: Jumping rope aids in building agility and coordination while increasing stamina.
- Resistance Band: The main benefit of using resistance bands is convenience. Bands are also easy to store and travel with and capable of a lot more variation than barbells or dumbbells. They also provide resistance throughout most movements, there are a lot more possibilities for strength building.
- Ab Wheel: An ab wheel works by making your core muscles to work together, while also working your upper back and shoulders. It’s very important that you maintain proper form to avoid potential injury.
- Pilates Ring: These are great for muscle toning and strengthening. It’s a versatile ring that can be used to work out your thighs, back, triceps, and glutes. Providing gentle resistance and two handles to aid control, it adds extra intensity to a range of Pilates exercises to help strengthen core and improve posture. Not bad for under a tenner.
