Silicone expander is an extremely convenient small-sized simulator in use, classes with which contribute to the progressive development of individual muscle groups. Often, such shells are presented in the form of a ring or elastic tape with handles.
Silicone expander is suitable for users of different age and gender. However, in order to choose a tool that really allows you to achieve your goals, it is worth considering the varieties of such equipment.
Manual expander
It is presented in several options: for training the hand and muscles in the forearm. Classes using the first solution contribute to enhancing the grip of the fingers, the development of fine motor skills. Silicone hand expander is shown to office workers, artists and musicians, people who, on duty, have to sit at a computer for a long time.
The forearm simulator is most often presented in the form of an elastic tape. However, there are spring devices. The latter option is often equipped with removable nozzles, which make it possible to change the load.
Tubular expander
It is made in the form of a silicone rope with handles. It opens up the possibility of organizing training with a focus on almost all muscle groups. Allows you to give increased load on the biceps and triceps.
Such a silicone expander is also suitable for shoulder training. To solve the problem, it is enough to step on the elastic rope in the middle, grab the handles and perform a bench press. However, the simulator is not very convenient for performing exercises with emphasis on the leg muscles.
Elastic tape
This is a silicone expander made in the form of a stretch tape without handles. Suitable for strengthening the muscles of the body and the liberation of the joints. Extremely common in aerobics, is in demand among martial arts enthusiasts, because it allows you to practice blows with extra effort.
A silicone expander in the form of a tape creates optimal resistance, which is enough to effectively strengthen muscles and increase endurance. At the same time, the risk of accidental injury when operating such a simulator is minimal.
A stretch harness for training is sold in rolls or threaded pieces. When buying a fixture, it is important to correctly calculate the length. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase an elastic sports tape with a certain margin, which will allow you to wind it on your hands.
Cushioning ring
It looks like a rather tight circle, equipped with handles or Velcro cuffs. The first solution is used to work out the pectoral muscles and exercise the hands, the second - to create additional load on the legs.
Since the ring is not very elastic, it will not work here with impressive amplitude. Therefore, the device is suitable for users who need to strengthen muscle mass when performing exercises in a static position.
Silicone expander of Bubnovsky
The sports simulator of Dr. Bubnovsky, in fact, combines the devices that are used during special training by boxers and skiers. Such equipment is intended for aerobics and accented study of individual muscles.
In addition to imitating swing movements with ski poles with additional load, the silicone expander contributes to the development of muscle mass in the shoulder girdle during punches. The simulator is often used during rehabilitation after dislocation of the elbow and shoulder joints, fractures. The Bubnovsky expander is the most universal device of all these options.
Finally
In fact, no matter what silicone expander is used for training, its operation has a general strengthening effect on muscle mass, liberates joints, and increases endurance. Unlike cumbersome stationary simulators, you can deal with such devices anywhere and at the most convenient time.
