An air revolution has taken place in fitness. Reebok has introduced a new machine that can be used as a swing, having fun and getting in great shape at the same time!
The amazing fitness machine has already been showcased in the United States and Spain. And last week I got to Moscow. The Russian premiere of Jukari Fit to Fly, a new fitness program for women, took place within the framework of the International Festival of Physical Culture and Sports “Our Choice is a Healthy Lifestyle”. Any guest of the festival could get acquainted with the novelty. It was enough to walk up to the podium, grab the bar and perform some fun exercises under the guidance of fitness instructors.
The construction of the simulator is very simple. Two strong cables are connected to each other on the ceiling. Various devices are inserted into special loops on the cables – crossbars and corners. In a word, no subtleties. But, despite this, a great future is predicted for the novelty. The creators of Jukari promise that hard work in the walls of gyms with the new simulator can turn into real entertainment, which will also help to effectively train all the muscles in the body.
One of the developers of the training program for Jukari, German Johanna Fellner, specially for WDay.ru demonstrated several exercises that can be done using the simulator. Let’s talk about three of them.
Exercise # 1: “Swing”
This is a great way to strengthen your leg muscles and raise your heart rate. Exercise strengthens the muscles of the legs and back, trains the heart.
HOW TO DO:
1. Walk forward so as to raise the bar to outstretched arms.
2. Stretch your entire body, bending slightly at the lower back.
3. Step back, keeping the bar close to you, squeeze it firmly, pull up and jump, spreading your legs wide to the sides. You can also do a jump with bent legs and knees brought together.
Exercise # 2: Carousel in the Air
Want a strong back and steel abs? This exercise is for you. It will help pump your abdominal muscles and latissimus dorsi.
HOW TO DO:
1. Grasp the bar firmly. Feel the latissimus dorsi stretch as it sags slightly on your outstretched arms.
2. Spread your feet shoulder-width apart, complete a half turn to the right and, pushing off, begin the rotation to the left.
3. Spread straight legs alternately to the sides. Bring them together, bending at the knees, as you rotate in the air. Repeat in the opposite direction.
Exercise # 3: “Climber in the fold”
To strengthen your core muscles, you need to temporarily turn into … a climber! We don’t need the crossbar now. We use special hinges instead. This exercise will also help train your shoulders, triceps, and chest muscles.
HOW TO DO:
1. Start in a prone position with your legs in the loops and keeping your torso parallel to the floor.
2. Bend one leg, pulling your knee up to your chest. Alternately changing legs, gradually move to the “fold” position.
3. Repeat the exercise. Finish the exercise in the prone position.
