On the use of fitness equipment

Lead: How to use fitness equipment? Fitness equipment is used for fitness equipment and can be divided into indoor fitness equipment and outdoor fitness equipment. Now fitness equipment is widely used among people. So how do you use fitness equipment? Let me answer for you.

Gym is one of the main places for urbanites to exercise, and there will be complete fitness equipment in the gym. When you enter the gym for the first time, you will be attracted by a wide variety of fitness equipment, because these fitness equipment will play an important role in future fitness activities. So we need to know and understand how to use these fitness equipment.

General gymnasiums are mainly divided into cardio-pulmonary function area and strength area. Fitness equipment will be placed in the cardiopulmonary function area, including treadmills, power-assisted bicycles, mountain climbing machines, elliptical machines and so on. Fitness equipment will be placed in the strength area, including fixed strength equipment and some free strength equipment (dumbbells, barbells, etc.). ).

Today we are going to talk about the use of fixed fitness equipment in the strength area.

The main fitness equipment is:

Sitting posture pushing chest: put the body on the armchair, so that the head and the whole back are always close to the backrest cushion, tighten the waist and abdomen, and hold out the chest. During the whole movement, push the arm upward with the contraction force of pectoralis major until the pectoralis major reaches the peak of contraction, pause for a while, keep the elbow slightly flexed after pushing up, and then slowly restore the arm to the initial position with the control force of pectoralis major.

Sitting chest clamp: put the body on the armchair, so that the head and the whole back are always close to the backrest cushion, tighten the waist and abdomen, and hold out the chest. During the whole movement, the arm should be spread backwards as far as possible, with the elbow slightly bent, and then the arm should be clamped inward by the contraction force of the pectoralis major, and finally the pectoralis major reaches the peak of contraction, and then stop for a while. Then use the control force of pectoralis major to slowly spread your arms to both sides.

Push the shoulder when sitting on the equipment: put the body on the equipment chair, so that the head and the whole back are always close to the backrest pad, tighten the waist and abdomen, and hold out the chest. Hold the handle of the instrument with both hands. Concentrate the strength of deltoid muscle to push up the weight of load. Push up quickly during the movement, keep the elbow slightly flexed when reaching the apex, and stop 1 sec. Slowly lose weight and control your weight with the control of deltoid muscle.

Sitting posture and equipment lateral lifting: sit on the equipment stool, hold your chest out and abdomen close to the cushion, bend your elbow and hold the equipment arm, and put your forearm under the equipment arm, as for your sides. During the action, concentrate the force of the middle bundle of deltoid muscle to lift the instrument arm to the same plane as wrist, elbow and shoulder, pause for a moment, and then slowly return to the starting position.

Sitting posture of the instrument pulls down the back: hold your chest out, tighten your waist and abdomen, sit and climb, hold the instrument pull rod with both hands, fully raise your shoulders, and fully extend your pectoralis major. Concentrate the contraction force of latissimus dorsi, so that the pull rod can be pulled down to the chest, clavicle and nipple. Try to make the shoulder blades on both sides of the back close together and touch each other, so that the latissimus dorsi is at the peak position of contraction, and then slowly restore the pull rod to its original position.

Leg flexion in instrument sitting position: Sit well, fix the instrument, and press the buttocks, waist and back on the cushion. Hold the fixed handle with both hands, put the calf and ankle on the instrument, and adjust the instrument to fix the leg. Under the action of contraction force of biceps femoris, it bends smoothly, and when the calf is lifted to the lowest position of the body, the biceps femoris is in the peak contraction position and pauses for a moment. Then, with the tension control of biceps femoris, slowly lower it and reset it.

Leg lifting in sitting position: sit on the body with fixed equipment, and rest your hips, waist and back on the cushion. Hold the fixed handle with both hands, put the front part of the calf and ankle on the instrument, and hook the toes to fix the leg. Under the action of contraction force of quadriceps femoris, the quadriceps femoris is lifted smoothly, and when the calf is lifted to the highest position, the quadriceps femoris is in the peak contraction position and pauses for a moment. Then, with the tension control of quadriceps femoris, slowly lower it and reset it.

The use of fitness equipment explained above is the main fixed fitness equipment generally configured in general gyms. Therefore, knowing how to use the above fitness equipment, you can start to arrange your own fitness exercise in the gym.
