Which home fitness equipment is the most practical and best?

If you have to look at popularity and adaptability, adjustable dumbbells are the "cost-effective ceiling" in the eyes of most ordinary fitness people. But when it comes to "most practical", there is no standard answer. It all depends on your personal fitness needs and usage scenarios.

In the past two years, I helped seven or eight friends around me choose home equipment. One of the first boys followed suit and bought a rowing machine, an abdominal wheel, and a whole box of elastic bands of different pounds. They were piled on the balcony and gathering dust for more than half a year. Later, I listened to advice and bought a pair of adjustable dumbbells that can be adjusted from 2kg to 24kg. I can do shoulder presses every day when I change my slippers when I get home from get off work. , curls, Romanian deadlifts, and just use a yoga mat to do dumbbell bench presses. One set of movements only takes 20 minutes, and even the time spent in traffic jams on the way to the gym is saved. After practicing for 8 months, I have lost 12% of my body fat, and my muscle mass has increased a lot. The pair of dumbbells are still used every day, and even his father sometimes uses light weights to strengthen his arms.

Don't think this is the standard answer. There are many people around me who hold different opinions. My best friend who just gave birth to a baby said that the most practical one is definitely a thick non-slip yoga mat. She usually spreads it in the living room for postpartum core repair and dance Pamela. It is also used as a climbing mat when the baby is crawling. Occasionally, it can be spread on the bay window as a picnic mat to bask in the sun on weekends. It cost more than 100 yuan and has been used for three years. The corners are frayed and she is reluctant to replace it. There is also a young man who weighs 200 kilograms. He had fluid in his knees from practicing skipping. He bought a small foldable elliptical machine and used it for 40 minutes a day while watching TV shows. He didn’t have to go out or run or jump. His knees were not burdened at all. He lost 26 kilograms in three months. Now everyone says that the elliptical machine is a great tool for home use.

In fact, choosing home fitness equipment is really like choosing shoes. The popular models that are comfortable for others may not fit your feet. If you only like to do aerobics, buying a dumbbell can only be used as a decoration for pressing books. If you want to gain muscle and shape, buying an elliptical machine will not achieve the effect you want. I have paid a lot of IQ taxes myself before, including Internet-famous soft hula hoops, shake machines, and the kind of pull-up bar that hangs on the door. I was very excited when I bought it, but after using it twice, I found it troublesome and put it on the top of the closet to collect dust.

If you really want to choose equipment that won’t get dusty, it’s better to spend 3 minutes to think about three things first: how much time you can devote to fitness every week, what problems you mainly want to improve, and how much space you can spare at home to put the equipment. Think clearly before making a purchase. The one you buy home will be the most practical for you.
