When one looks at the home gym equipment today, one can see
many varieties of equipments and machines. Some huge gyms even have equipments
that not many have seen or even heard of. But having a plethora of equipments
doesn't necessarily mean producing the best results. In fact, one may notice
that members of huge gyms look exactly like the members of much smaller gyms.
How is this possible? Certainly having more equipment translates to having
better workouts and thus better results. This doesn't necessarily hold true in
all occasions. If a person will take time to list down the common equipments
found in both the large gyms and small gyms, he or she will come up with the
following results and the realization as to why these are the most important
gym equipments.
The most common and most important gym equipment one would
notice is the dumbbell. It is in fact the most practical and most versatile
that leads to the best results. With a dumbbell or a pair of dumbbells, one can
exercise every muscle group (both major and minor). With dumbbells, a person
can exercise the chest, back, shoulders, arms, and legs. They are not only used
to build and tone muscle but are also used for aerobic workouts. A person may
notice that he or she tires more easily or his or her heart pumps faster upon
swaying a dumbbell several times than jumping or dancing around. Without
dumbbells, a gym can't be a gym.
The second most common and most important gym equipment is
the bench. The bench is necessary for a person to perform the most effective
chest workouts. It is also utilized for exercises that may require an
individual to sit or lay down to perform them properly. Advanced abdominal
exercises also require the use of the bench for optimal results. Without the
existence of the bench, gyms would be filled with too many people standing up
or lying down flat doing awkward movements - not to mention members getting
poor workout results.
The third most common and most important gym equipment is
the pull up bar. Nothing builds the back muscles up more than the pull up bar.
Not only does it work better than the pull down machine, it also costs far less
than it. The bar is also used for advanced abdominal workouts that require
individuals to be hanging. It's no wonder that every single gym has at least
one as part of its arsenal of equipments.
With the utilization of the gym equipments mentioned above,
one can expect the same results when he or she either works out in a huge and
expensive gym or a small and cheaper gym. In fact, one can even have his or her
own home gym with these important equipments and still get very good results.
At the end of it all, it's not so much the gym equipments that produce the
results. It is the manner of utilizing these equipments that determines the
results people get.
