Cheap gym equipment worth buying

Most of the cheap gym equipment you come across are a complete waste of money but some is regularly used by personal trainers with their clients and by people at home who have achieved great bodies from using it, so what is this gym equipment?

• Pull up bar- Great piece of equipment if installed correctly.   The most common cheap pull up bar is the one that expands to fit the top of your door frame.  Warning – If this is not installed correctly you will fall off and really hurt yourself.  As long as it is durable so doesn’t bend or shake when you use it this is a great bit of equipment to build strong large bicep and back muscles.

• Swiss ball- As long as the ball has been properly tested with people lifting weights on it this is a great bit of exercise equipment to use at home.  A swiss ball can also be used as an office chair strengthening your core muscles day to day.

• Thera bands – great bit of resistance equipment for men and women.  They come in different strength bands so even the strongest men can get muscular results using them.  Warning- make sure they are officially tested bands so they don’t snap and cause injury.

• Wrist weights- Great for toning the arms and shoulders whilst running.  Ankle weights can also be purchased for toning the hip flexors and legs.  Helps to burn calories faster whilst jogging due to the extra weight on the body. Warning – don’t wear for periods over 2  hours as you are likely to suffer ligament and tendon damage, so wearing them all day at the office is not a good idea.
