How to choose a foot expander
Expander for the feet - simple, but at the same timeeffective fitness equipment. With it you can perform many exercises, it is easy to use and at a price is available to everyone. It is only necessary to correctly choose this functional simulator.
Instructions
1
Select the type of expander. The simplest variant is a rubber expander in the form of a tape. Pros - versatility and economy, but because of the lack of pens to use the tape is not always convenient. More convenient in this regard is the tubular expander and expander "G8", but the range of exercises that can be performed with their help is much narrower. If you like exercises in static, pay attention to the shock absorber ring with wide soft cuffs on Velcro. Such a simulator does not allow you to do exercises with a large amplitude of movements, but it perfectly strengthens the muscles of the legs. Those who need the maximum load, it is worth choosing a spring metal expander.
2
Decide what kind of hardness expander you needis necessary. It depends on what the load will be given by the simulator. As a rule, expanders are color-coded. Yellow and pink are the simplest ones, they are intended for children and people with very weak physical preparation. Green - the best option for most adult women. Reds are recommended for trained women and unsporting men. Blue expander used by men for strength training. The rigidity of the simulator can also be indicated by the words: light, medium, hard and extra hard. There are also numbers: from one to three, the larger the number, the higher the stiffness.
3
Check if the selected expander matchesyour physical fitness. Before buying a simulator is worth trying out. You must tighten or squeeze the projectile with force, but at the same time comfortable and confident. When choosing soberly assess your physical abilities. Too tight the expander will not allow you to do the exercises correctly, too soft - will make the training less effective.
4
Check the quality of the parts. To do this, just stretch the expander. If you see white strips and microcracks on the tape, this indicates the low quality of rubber used in production. Such a simulator does not last long. Try to choose an expander with an additional rubber coating. Thus, you will be able to protect yourself from injury even if the inner rubber band bursts.
5
If the expander has a handle, check their convenience. Ideally, the surface of the handles should be roughened and repeat the shape of the palm. In this case, it is less likely that the simulator will slip out of the wet hands during an intense workout.
