When we come to the gym, the following picture appears before us - a huge number of exercise machines, and, frankly speaking, not all visitors and even experienced athletes understand what they are for.
Moreover, if the technique is incorrect, such exercise machines can even cause harm!
Leg Adduction Machine
The first “useless” exercise machine is the leg adduction machine. It is designed to strengthen the adductor muscles of the thigh, says Natalia Blinova .
In fact, the adductors are trained by abducting and adducting the pelvis to the thigh. This is best done in a standing position or by squatting on one leg on a block.
Abdominal trainer
The second “useless” exercise machine is for the abs. The abs are trained with multi-joint exercises that involve both arms and legs. For example, pull-ups, push-ups, squats. The abs are also trained through rotational movements of the body during the step cycle.
Neck Trainer
And the third “useless” exercise machine is for pumping up the neck. And this is also a harmful exercise machine! Simply because the neck muscles do not need to be trained on exercise machines.
In order for the neck muscles to be functional, it is enough to restore the movements of the neck joints, remove the blocks from them using natural neck movements.
You can strengthen your neck by lying down and holding your head up for 20 seconds.
Choose exercises and exercise machines consciously so that each workout brings pleasure and, of course, results!
