Do you know how to organize your training in the engine room?

Machines are a powerful tool to lose weight and tone muscles if used properly. We tell you how to organize your routine to get results.


When we arrive at a gym room for the first time we can feel very confused seeing so many devices with so many different functions. Where do I begin? What is each machine for? The first step is to have a bio-physical study that summarizes the qualities and physical form of each person, as well as define the objectives of the training. According to the goals of each one, the routines will be different and more or less intense. Sergio Daza, Director of Health of Zagros Sports Puerta de Europa, explains how to face the arrival to the engine room and start enjoying the benefits of training.-19: 39The main part of the training must be occupied by the guided machines. As the name suggests, are those that facilitate the work of the muscles without forcing them. They reduce the risk of injury by contributing to the movement of the load. Using the machine as a guide, beginners can also learn and improve the technique of each of the exercises. As we gain experience we can go combining guided machines with free weight work, with dumbbells for example. Which is not advisable anything else to start in the gym due to the greater complexity in its execution.Despite the help provided by the guided machines, the first days "it is essential to go to a center where the training room is staffed by trained professionals who guide you to meet the proposed objectives and who care about your health" says Sergio Daza . Personalized advice increases the effectiveness of the exercise since the machines can be used in different ways depending on what we are looking for. By varying the number of sets and repetitions, the weight of the load and the resting times between the series, a more or less intense work is obtained and aimed at losing weight, increasing muscle mass, gaining muscle tone, or any other purpose.


 Is there life beyond the static bicycle?Among the wide variety of training machines that we can find in gyms, we see novel devices that amplify the benefits of exercise or allow us to focus work on a very specific part of the body. The Zagros Sports expert tells us the most remarkable recent discoveries.Self-propelled treadmill: although we all know the more than classic treadmills where aerobic endurance work, these new treadmills allow us to simulate to a greater extent the effort we would employ while running on the street and improve our running technique. By not being connected to the current, we have to generate the energy to move them, thus increasing the level of exigency of the exercise and creating a challenge. At the same time the impact on muscles and joints is less, which reduces the risk of injury. Not to mention its zero energy expenditure and environmental impact.Maximum specialization, glute builder: despite the importance of periodically performing a comprehensive training of the entire musculature, there are machines that work deep in a specific area of ​​the body. This is the case of the glute builder. A machine with a wide variety of exercises to work the buttocks, not only for aesthetic reasons but because different studies have certified the importance of working the gluteus to reduce back pain, improve walking patterns and maintain a firmer posture.Training software: connecting all the machines between them and with us, it is increasingly common to find training software that monitors our activity to let us know our performance. Observing progression is a good motivation tool that helps us optimize training. The synchronization of an app in each user's mobile and a totem pole in the training center allows us to always have our information at hand, including values ​​such as body fat level.What are you waiting for? If you need a dose of motivation, here we list all the benefits of practicing sports. Your health will thank you!Content prepared in collaboration with Sergio Daza, Health Director of Zagros Sports Puerta de Europa.
