Home workout equipment

What does the weightlifting category of Foot-Store contain?

This category includes equipment used for muscle strengthening, core work, and physical preparation: balls, hoops, vibration platforms, steps, rollers, dumbbells, kettlebells, wrist supports, ladders, hurdles and weight discs, as well as exercise bikes for cardio workouts at home. The brands featured in this selection, Gymnic, Kuebler Sport, Ledragomma, Trend Rehab, Softee, Blackroll, Sporti and Uhlsport, cover both functional training and gentle rehabilitation or muscle recovery.

Balls, dumbbells, kettlebells: what are the main equipment for?

The training ball, also known as a gym ball, is used for balance, core work and back mobility. The weighted ball, which is heavier and more compact, is used for dynamic strengthening and throwing exercises. The dumbbell and kettlebell focus on strength work: the dumbbell is suitable for classic symmetrical movements, while the shape of the kettlebell, with its off-centre handle, lends itself to ballistic movements like the swing or the rack.

The weight disc allows you to add weight to a bar for increasing load, and the wrist support reduces strain during pressing or pulling exercises. The weighted skipping rope and agility ladder complete coordination and cardio work, while the hurdle is used for jumping and quickness exercises.

Step, vibration platform, roller: recovery and cardio accessories

The step is used for cardio sequences and stepping exercises, with risers that allow you to adjust the height according to your fitness level. The vibration platform offers muscle work through vibrations, used in both physical preparation and recovery. The massage roller, or foam roller, is used for self-massage to relax muscles after exertion and improve joint mobility. The exercise bike completes this selection for regular cardio work at home, without depending on outdoor conditions.
