When we exercise, we need to use a variety of fitness equipment, but because fitness equipment is very diverse, choosing the right equipment has become a key issue. The climbing machine is a very good piece of equipment in the gym. So, what is the most correct way to use the fitness equipment climbing machine? Let’s take a look.
How to use fitness equipment climbing machine
1. Hold the handle lightly
When exercising on a mountaineering machine, you can hold the handle gently with your hands. If you just need a better balance, you can just touch the bar with your fingers.
If you can let go of your hands and let them hang naturally on both sides of your body after adapting to the exercise of the mountaineering machine, you can not only strengthen your cardiopulmonary function, but also enhance your body's balance ability. Of course, this is to ensure that you can maintain balance. You can do it only if you don’t fall down.
2. Keep your body upright
Keep your body in a standing position. You can lean forward slightly, but you cannot bend your back or bend your body to the left or right. Your shoulders should be relaxed and slightly tucked back, and your abdomen should be tightened.
3. Keep the step size consistent
When using a climbing machine to exercise, make sure that the step length is consistent each time and cannot be too long or too short. A stride length that is too long can easily cause damage to the leg muscles and joints, while a stride length that is too short will reduce energy consumption and compromise the exercise effect.
4. Place the soles of your feet on the pedals
When using a mountaineering machine, try to place the entire sole of your foot on the pedal. If you use your toes, your calf muscles will tire faster. And when the soles of the feet land, it is best to land with the mid-feet to cushion the impact on the legs.
5. Adjust the appropriate slope
When using a mountaineering machine for exercise, you do not need to increase the speed. As long as you adjust the slope appropriately, you can increase the exercise effect. When you first start exercising, you can start with a smaller slope, such as 15 degrees or 16 degrees, and slowly increase the slope step by step.
Is the mountaineering machine aerobic or anaerobic
The mountain climber is an aerobic exercise.
Aerobic exercise is carried out in a state of aerobic metabolism. It participates in the exercise to consume excess fat through the supply of nutrients. It is low-intensity and long-lasting. It is carried out continuously or repeatedly for a certain period of time. Complete a certain amount of exercise within a certain period of time to achieve the purpose of losing fat.
The mountain climbing machine is a multi-functional aerobic training that combines fast running with fast running. It is named because its method of exercise resembles mountaineering. Using a climbing machine can achieve better weight loss results. If your body is still in the growth stage, using a climbing machine can also help you grow taller.
Climbing machines are fitness products that have appeared since the emergence of treadmills. Its main principle is that bodybuilders use their feet to continuously alternate forward and backward movements on a machine with a large slope to imitate outdoor mountain climbing to achieve fitness goals. Strictly speaking, a mountaineering machine can only be called a mountain climber if the slope can reach at least 30%. By using a mountain climbing machine, the average fitness person's desire to spend less time and energy while getting the best exercise results can be realized.
