Is it worth using the local gym?

Workouts carried out on neighborhood gyms, like practically any form of physical exercise, they have not only advantages but also disadvantages. It is worth remembering about it before being overly optimistic such training devices are used. As with the other forms of physical activity, as well as for exercises performed in the neighborhood gyms should be approached not only with full commitment and concentration, but also with a kind of distance.

For the sake of health

Any action that contributes to increase the popularity of physical activity, and also promotes healthy lifestyle is at a premium. Such activities certainly include all initiatives related to the construction of local gyms. However, you should have bearing in mind that good will and good faith alone are not enough. Very support and consultation with specialists is also important. Unfortunately, not always this is the case, which is sometimes seen in the case of an outdoor gym.

How to exercise at the city gym?

The title of this paragraph is a bit exaggerated, because of all the open air gyms that I have visited, each it had a more or less extensive description for individual devices how to use them. Unfortunately, in most cases it was very modest and contained only basic information, among which it appeared most often the body parts affected by the exercise, and the cursory manner of it exercise. In the case of the vast majority of local gyms, which I had the opportunity to visit, I missed many that were important to implement individual exercise information. What kind? For example, in the case of exercise imitating a gantry (pushing / pushing while sitting down) lacked information about the fact that you should not straighten your legs to full extension in the knee joints. This is extremely important when doing this exercise as it can lead to serious injury.

Load selection

Characteristic neighborhood gyms is that the exercises are most often performed with load on your own body. It is a good and safe solution. It is not, however it is devoid of defects. First of all, such a solution does not allow you to adjust loads according to individual preferences. Moreover, as you progress through the training process it becomes impossible to increase the intensity (understood as magnitude overcome resistance) of the exercises performed. This can contribute to inhibition further progress.

You exercise when nature allows

The location of the gym under the title cloud has both advantages and disadvantages. It is an undoubted advantage possibility to exercise outdoors. Unfortunately, this is not always possible. It is true that there is no bad weather for training, but training at a local gym during a frost or storm is not the best idea. While there will be some discomfort in the first situation, in in the event of a thunderstorm, it is simply dangerous. By planning your workouts on outdoor gym, we must bear in mind that I am addicted prevailing weather conditions.

Is an outdoor gym necessary?

Despite some disadvantages, the housing estate gyms have many advantages. First of all, they are easily accessible – using them is free and their number is constantly increasing. They allow they allow for systematic training with very little effort means. Open air gyms will certainly not replace traditional gyms, however, they do provide some kind of alternative for people who do not have access to this type of “tabernacle.” However, it is worth remembering that before using such get acquainted with the correct technique of movements on individual devices.
