Worst and Best Fitness Equipment

Fitness Comments Off on Worst and Best Fitness Equipment

Choosing the best fitness equipment can be tricky these days. So many great ads for fitness gear promise to transform our bodies from fat and flabby to fit and fabulous but so few products deliver. The main reasons for this epic fail is most fitness equipment is unsafe, or boring or lame or all the above. Here's the truth about what fitness gear will burn a hole in your wallet and what fitness equipment can help you burn more fat and improve your body.

Most Over-Rated: Cardio Machines
Most Under-Rated: Interval Bodyweight Workouts
Sure cardio machines burn calories and they're easy to use but that's the problem. Easy calorie burning is no match for challenging bodyweight workouts that burn calories and fat plus strengthen, tone, boost endurance and so much more. No machine beats the after-burn effect you get from interval bodyweight workouts that are dynamic, fun and best of all free!

Most Dangerous: Kettlebells
More Safe: Sandbags or Dumbbells
There is no doubt that kettlebell exercises are dynamic and very effective for fitness and fatloss. The problem with kettlebells is they are very easy to get wrong. It takes a lot of time and some guidance to master kettlebell moves. That's both time and money most people would rather not spend waiting for results. If you like the idea of kettlebells but aren't too keen on the learning curve or the injury factor then try sandbags or sandbells (featured in video) instead. They're easy to use, fun, and more affordable than a rack full of kettlebells. Dumbbells are also a good substitute for many kb moves which saves money and time.

Most Boring: Resistance Bands
More Dynamic: Suspension Trainer
Resistance bands are cheap, portable, and great for general fitness and full body workouts but they are no match for a dynamic suspension trainer (featured in video). The suspension trainer is also portable, comes in various price ranges and is excellent for both general fitness and more advanced workouts and exercises such as suspended knee tucks and pikes, rowing, pushups and modified pull-ups as well as cardio intervals and flexibility too.

Most Unusable: Ab Wheels or Ab Rollers
Most Effective: Gliding Discs
Not only are most ab gadgets overpriced and unusable by most people they are extremely dangerous for anybody with a dysfunctional core which happens to be most people these days. A more effective piece of gear to strengthen your core and flatten your abs is gliding discs (featured in video). They can be used for dozens of core exercises and upper/lower body exercises that also target your core and just like those furniture moving sliders they will save your back!

Most Absurd: Shake Weight
More Realistic: Speed Blender
Never before has a piece of fitness gear inspired so many hilarious parody infomercials which speaks volumes about what a piece of junk the shake weight is. It's been ridiculed on South Park, Ellen, RuPaul's Drag Races and Saturday Night Live. If you're looking to shake up your fitness results you're better off speed blending some weight loss shakes because as every fitness trainer loves to say "great abs are made in the kitchen not in the gym" and not with a shake weight either.
