Pros and cons of using weight machines

You will find weight machines in every health club, but some people find them really complicated. This article explains what these machines are, how they work, and their advantages.

The weight machine is easy to operate. First adjust the seat and then push or pull a lever or a set of handles. The handle is attached to a chain, cable or lever that is attached to a stack of rectangular weights weighing 5-50 pounds. To lift 20 pounds, you only need to pass a metal nail through a 30-pound hole.

Here are some reasons why you can use a weight loss machine during your workout:

• They are very safe. from
  
    They are ideal for beginners, because if you are exhausted during exercise, you can let go without worrying about losing weight.
• They hardly need to be balanced or coordinated. from
  
    Most weight machines keep your body in the right position, such as "free weight." For example, if you press a shoulder on a weight machine, you just sit on the chair and push the handle up, but with the barbell you not only have to push the rod up, but also to maintain stability and balance.
• You can exercise specific muscles. from
  
    The traditional weight loss machine lets you focus on one muscle, which is good if you want to correct a specific weakness. An example of this is if you want to strengthen your hamstrings or the back of your thighs. There is a weight machine that keeps your body in place while bending your legs and aiming at your hamstrings. If you use free weight to accomplish the same task, you may end up exercising your thighs and muscles.
• Exercise faster. from
  
    With the weight trainer, you can exercise faster than using a free weight trainer. Instead of removing free weights from the rack and sliding them in and out of the barbell, simply adjust the seat [if necessary] and hook the metal hook through a hole. In addition, gyms and health clubs often combine weight machines, which allows for quick and easy movement between them, allowing you to complete your body workout in about 20 minutes.

Disadvantage

• It may be boring. from
  
    After a while, you and your muscles may get tired of using the machine. So, mix some free weights after a while and learn to strengthen the same muscles through different movements.
• Not suitable for everyone's body. from
  
    Most machines are designed for people from 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet 2 inches tall. Therefore, if you exceed this range, the machine may feel uncomfortable. If this is the case, try another machine or choose free weight to position the same muscle group.
• Isolate each muscle group. from
  
    This may be an advantage [see above], but it may be a disadvantage because it is not how our muscles work in our daily lives. In our daily lives, our muscles work in groups, so it makes sense to work the same way in the gym.
• You can't carry them with you. from
  
    If you leave on a business trip or vacation, you will not be able to carry a weight machine, so please bring some free weight with you, there is no reason not to exercise!

I hope that after reading this article, you will not be intimidated by the weight machine, and believe that these advantages outweigh the disadvantages and are ready to be included in your training.
