I’ve always tried to incorporate weird types of strength training into my quarterly workouts.
As a woman, I am not trying to build massive muscle mass.
For me, the priority is toning the muscles. Because of this, I stick with lower weights as well as higher repetition. I have a set of hand-held weights that includes two-pound, four-pound as well as eight-pound sizes. I also have invested into 2 medicine balls, weighted pole, kettlebells as well as resistance bands. Each one provides unique and solid benefits. This past year, for my birthday, my wife gave me a set of battle ropes. Although I’d heard of battle ropes before, I’d never tried them before. It took me a while to get around to even unpacking them from the bin, because I assumed they would be tough to install. I was pleasantly surprised by their simplicity. I had my new ropes set up as well as ready to use in under five minutes. I was also stunned by what a difficult workout they provide. While my hand-weights, my kettlebells as well as other strength-training equipment mainly works the biceps and triceps, the battle ropes are good for concentrating on triceps. I have googled to figure out how to use them the right way, as well as to explore potential exercises. Battle ropes are bendy as well as a chance to improve core strength, endurance as well as power. They elevate my all-round performance as well as allow the targeting of identifiable muscle groups. I am impressed with the low-impact cardio workout I get. By making a wide variety of “waves” with the heavy ropes, I can burn more calories than running as well as effectively destroy fat. Battle ropes are tiring however they are also quite fun.
