Outdoor Gym
Suspension Trainer
Suspension training is very effective because it increases strength, balance, flexibility, and core stability. With 49 exercises the suspension trainer is one of the most versatile pieces of exercise equipment on which all muscle groups can be trained in a functional and effective way, no matter what the fitness level of the user is. Everyone can work out at their own level due to the scalable resistance. The intensity of each exercise can be determined by adjusting the body position to add more or less resistance.
Pull Up Bars
Magnetic Bells
An innovative magnetic breaking system allows the user to increase the resistance by increasing the speed of movement. The patented system also functions as brake when someone drops the magnetic bells and will reduce the impact significantly. The option to choose between a light, medium or heavy training weight offers a scalable training and it makes the Magnetic Bells an accessible piece of equipment for both the trained and the untrained. The Magnetic bells move freely up and down and can spin 360°. This allows the users to do exercises which are very similar to medicine balls and kettle bell exercises.
Steps
The step is one of the most simple yet highly versatile training tools, so many exercises can be done with it, from simple step-ups to plyometric jumps. Regular sessions will provide both cardiovascular and muscular endurance. Incorporating upper and lower body movements will improve balance and agility, and the constant push up onto the step will increase leg strength.
Agility Dots
Agility Dots are perfect for warming up and plyometric training and are used by hundreds of sports teams to improve agility and foot speed. The simplest way of incorporating the dots into a training is by doing core strength exercises. You can essentially treat the agility dots like a game of twister.
