Phoenix The home fitness equipment that is really commonly used and does not easily get dusty can be counted on the fingers, including non-slip yoga mats, adjustable dumbbells, elastic bands, horizontal bars on the door, and fascial guns. The rest are probably "invalid equipment" that I was enthusiastic about before buying them and have accumulated dust and space at home.
I have bought more than 20 kinds of household equipment, and the potholes I stepped on can wrap around my coffee table three times. The fat-removing machines, abdominal fitness wheels, and steppers that I first bought following the trend are still piled in the corner of the balcony to hold miscellaneous items. Even my cat doesn’t like to lie on them. I used to see people arguing on fitness forums about whether the elastic band is an IQ tax. One group said that the resistance is too light and the training is equivalent to no training. The other group said that a few dozen yuan can be used to activate shoulder and back activation and hip and leg auxiliary training. ； If you have more than half a year of experience in building muscle and want to lift heavy weights, then it is really not enough. There is no need to stock up on a bunch of different pounds to take up space.
If you love to dance Pamela and do stretching yoga, you really don’t need to buy anything else. A TPE anti-slip yoga mat of about 8mm is enough. I bought a cheap one for 9 yuan and 9 with free shipping. If you want to train strength at home, adjustable dumbbells are really practical. I bought a pair when I rented a house. The maximum weight can be adjusted to 24 kilograms. It can be used for chest press, deadlift, and shoulder press. When not in use, it can be directly stuffed under the sofa. It is much friendlier than the fixed dumbbell rack that takes up half the wall, and it will not be left idle because the weight is not suitable after being used twice.
There is also the most talked about fascial gun. Some people say it is an electric massage stick that charges IQ tax. Some people say it is indispensable for relaxing after training. My own feeling is that if you train for more than 40 minutes each time and have obvious muscle soreness, using the fascia gun for about ten minutes on your shoulders, back and legs is much more efficient than massaging it with your hands for half a day.； If you only move once or twice a week, there is really no need to spend hundreds of dollars to buy it. Just rub it twice and you will be relieved. Spending that money is worse than drinking two cups of milk tea. Many people have said that the horizontal bar on the door is easy to fall off and is unsafe. I have been using it for more than two years. As long as you choose the one with buckle reinforcement, tighten the door frame when installing, and do not exceed the upper load-bearing limit, it is very stable when you practice pull-ups and hanging leg raises. It is really practical for people who live in buildings without space to install a fixed horizontal bar. When not in use, just remove it and plug it behind the door. It does not take up any space.
In fact, if you really want to say it, the most useless equipment for home fitness is buying things you don’t use. Even if you only have one pair of sneakers, running downstairs twice a day is better than piling up a room full of equipment gathering dust.
