Are You Using The Following Gadgets To Lose Weight?
It seems as though a new fat loss gadget hits the market on a daily basis. TV channels are inundated with endless infomercials with ridiculous claims.
Well, the most interesting aspect of this is that endless people actually take out their credit cards at 2am and place orders.
So, without further ado, here are some gadgets that are not effective for weight loss:
1. Disc-shaped bosus: Personal trainers around the country can be seen using these on their clients. And while they are effective for increasing balance abilities, they are not effective for maximum fat loss. So make sure you program doesn’t focus on these if weight loss if your main goal.
2. Circular disc trainers: I’m sure you’ve seen the endless oodles of personal trainers using these contraptions in commercial gyms. Again, do you want to increase balance or burn the most amount of fat? If you goal is fat loss, then stick with free weights.
3. Stability balls: Another stabilization device, stability balls are very effective for training your core and abdominal musculature. And when used sparingly, they are good for fat loss as well. But the key here is sparingly. You should sprinkle your workouts with stability ball movements, nothing more.
4. Lifting straps: Now lifting straps should be used only when you are using very heavy weights that you wouldn’t be able to move otherwise. The key here is to not abuse the straps because you will limit forearm and grip development. And you don’t want this to happen, especially if you have carpal tunnel.
5. Suspension trainers: These bodyweight devices are great for portable workouts, but they simply do not provide enough resistance for the fastest fat loss. You see, for the fastest fat loss you need to maximize hormonal output. And you can only do this with challenging levels of resistance.
Look, you can expect to keep on being exposed to fitness gadget marketing. So always remember that outlandish claims never hold up to the hype. Stick to the basics with high levels of intensity and you will be just fine!
