GYMSTICK including light equipment. However, its function is very common. In fact, claimed to replace all the heavy equipment at a fitness center. Interested?

Gymstick-sticks, made of fiberglass, and features rubber on the edges. This tool is the result of a combination of the two fitness equipment at once, the exercise stick and exercise bands.

Developed in Finland since 1997 by Gymstick International Inc. Viremestarit., Gymstick released to the market beginning in 2003. Petite shape. Consists of a long stick with a 130 cm, and a flexible latex rubber 75 cm long. Because of the small, clear easy to carry anywhere to do the exercise routine. Small form also makes this tool can be used anywhere. In the classroom, home, or workplace.

“With just one tool, we can get a variety of benefits. Namely improve cardiovascular (heart), endurance, and muscle strength, balance, improves posture, flexibility, muscle formation, to reduce fat (fat loss) up to 700 calories,” light Nancy Lim, Gymstick instructor at Life Spa Pondok Indah, South Jakarta.

Instructors who obtained a license from Power and Entertainment Projects Gymstick Challenge Finladia revealed, gymstick exercises done enough for three times a week, one hour per practice. Because designed for individuals and classes, such as training in other fitness centers, programs were conducted gymstick standing, sitting, and lying on the floor.

Training was tailored to the individual abilities of each (according to his fitness level). Organizations World Gymstick Team (WGT) which overshadow special gymstick personal trainer based on dividing the levels of resistance. This can be distinguished by the color of latex rubber that must be inserted into both legs. Namely green (light) with resistance 1? 10 kg for rehabilitation.

Then the blue (medium) with resistance 1? 15 kg for the rehabilitation and women and junior athletes. And black (strong) with resistance 1? 20 kg for junior athletes, women and men. The highest extra strong, divided into two, namely silver with resistance 1? 25 kg and 1 color golddengan resistance? 30 kg for men and professional athletes.

How to use a very simple one as your fitness activities using heavy equipment. The difference is only done with a tool like a stick. We live gymstick holding the receiver with both hands, and exercise bands tied to the feet. It would be better to use shoes as jagged as a drag exercises.

To add to the burden, we live gymstick turned the handle clockwise (forward), automatically be rolled rubber latex in the stem. The more coils, the heavier the burden. We can use these tools Like heavy equipment at the gym. Simple is not it?

Author of the study and professor of Clinical Exercise Science at Ithaca, Gary Sforzo PhD, expressing gymstick as a tool to combine resistance bands and weights simultaneously. When both are done in one motion, it will multiply the results obtained.

This study tested athletes who do Squat and chest press with resistance bands and combining weights. The exercise provides strength upper and lower body twice compared with those who practice it lift weights.

“When doing weights, resistance bands increase the burden. When lowered, the voltage generated is also increasing,” explained Gary Sforzo in an article published in the United States of Shape magazine.

Exercise Without Risk

The lack of knowledge of the use of heavy equipment in the gym or kebukaran center will increase the risk of injury. Moreover, without an instructor or personal trainer.

Different gymstick, this device safely used by anyone, even elderly ones. Exercise using gymstick divided into two. Gymstick power aerobic movements combined with a more agile and faster. While the challenge is more gymstick used for muscle formation. His movements were also more in place.

Gymstick challenge performed in a trio format, the three movements in one song. The pattern is a movement carried out for 30 seconds, rest 10 seconds, the second movement (same time), rest 10 seconds, the third movement (same time). Then rest for 20 seconds to switch tracks (in the second song) by the same method.

“The challenge is gymstick trio of 10 movements (10 songs) in 50 minutes. For the one-time exercise for an hour to do 10 to 15 movements. However, it all depends on the ability of fitness participants, only 10 movements which may have given up a lot,” said Nancy Lim, gymstick instructors who have studios in Malaysia and the new 3-month stay in Jakarta.

This class focused challenge to the formation of muscle either specifically or overall. Gymstick challenge always begins with a relaxed focus on stretching the muscle groups around the neck, shoulders, and pelvic area (pelvic).

Gymstick power while focusing on balance training that leads to increased muscle strength and peripheral heart action (PHA). His movements include the upper body, torso, and lower body that focuses on coordination, balance, and overall body control.

Among other such parts of the lower back, upper back, abdominal (stomach), chest, shoulders, and arms. Since the method uses only picked up the stick either by hand or foot, the risk of exercise is also very thin. If not load anything, we stayed turned the handle (stick) in a clockwise direction or the next body. Or adjust the color of the rope exercise his band.

However, we are not allowed to roll four times the length of the string because it would damage the contour of exercise band. Gymstick was also suitable for rehabilitation centers such as physiotherapy.

In fact, for mothers who have thighs, big hips, and arms menggelambir, could do with the method gymstick activities very easily. If you get bored with the choreographer from the instructors, we had to load mengkreasi own. Certainly the knowledge of the instructors to get more leverage.
