Sling trainer for the home

Fitness equipment for training at home is becoming more and more important. The reasons for this are long working hours, high contributions in fitness studios, a high expenditure of time for a training session, and low time flexibility for training. But many do not have the space and perhaps not the money to put one of the popular fitness equipment in their own four walls.

At this point we would like to introduce you to a small and portable fitness device for strength training: the sling trainer or sling trainer.

The very special and extremely effective training partners are available from various manufacturers for prices between € 99 and € 250. The principle is very simple and maybe some of you already know from a visit to the physiotherapist. Hanging in slings, you work with your own body weight. The level of difficulty depends on the body angle I take. The rule of thumb is: the larger the angle, the more body weight I have to manage during the exercise. So you are your own weight block. But that's not the only way to change the level of difficulty with a sling trainer.

Es gibt zwei Arten von Sling Trainern. Zum einen welche mit starren Seilen und zum anderen welche mit rotierenden Seilen auf einer Rolle. Bei beiden Sling Trainer Varianten habt Ihr die Möglichkeit die Trainingsintensität durch die Griffweite zu verändern. Je weiter die Zugseile auseinander liegen, umso schwieriger ist es, die Balance zu halten. Und erst, wenn man diese gefunden hat, kann man mit der eigentlichen Kräftigungsübung beginnen. Bei den Sling Trainern mit Umlenkrolle kann das Seil zudem seitlich rotieren, was eine zusätzliche Herausforderung für Balance und Koordination darstellt.

With a sling trainer you can really train your whole body and you have several training goals to choose from:

• Increase in muscle coordination and balance
• Kraft
• Strength endurance
• Joint stabilization

And of course you can also achieve goals such as with this device

• Improve cardiovascular activity
• Weight reduction
• and figure toning

In order to be able to start training with a sling trainer, you don't need more than a door frame, a ceiling hook, a tree or a scaffold to which the sling trainer can be attached. Most providers have sets with training DVDs, descriptions and ceiling mounts. In this way, you will receive the right training instructions in the form of an instructor. In my opinion, a sling trainer is the perfect fitness device for strength training at home.

With intensive training on the sling trainer, you can be sure that you will significantly increase your muscle strength, muscle coordination and mobility. You can find sling trainers, for example, in the range of www.ac-fitness.de or other online stores that specialize in strength training.
