Home training is the ideal sports program for anyone who does not want or cannot go outside. Stay fit within your own four walls - here we present various simple training devices that you can use to create your own fitness program at home. Especially when you are forced to spend a longer period of time at home, home training is the ideal way to stay fit.
You become independent of the weather. During the cold and wet season, many sports have to be moved indoors or interrupted until the following spring. For outdoor athletes, home training is a good alternative for staying fit.
Extreme situations such as the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, which forced many people into home quarantine, cannot be completely ruled out either. But exercise is also possible in quarantine.
Medicalcorner24® offers numerous training devices and accessories that you can use to create your fitness program at home. Our products come from renowned manufacturers and are also suitable for professional training or therapy programs.
Arm and leg trainers
To keep the muscles in your arms and legs fit, we offer various arm and leg trainers. Leg training in particular is often neglected when bad weather dampens your enthusiasm for running or cycling. With modern movement trainers, you can train the muscles and joints of your legs even in the smallest space.
If you already exercise at home, you can of course combine this with other activities. Steppers, for example, are excellent for training your legs while watching your favorite series or sports on television. Why lie idle on the sofa and watch others race?
A stepper turns a lazy evening in front of the television into a valuable training session. Aerobic steppers are perfect for a varied and versatile workout. The height-adjustable step boards allow you to perform numerous exercises for problem areas such as the abdomen, legs, and buttocks.
If aerobics or other gymnastics-heavy training methods are too hectic for you and you prefer to focus on targeted strength building for your arms and legs, classic movement trainers are a good choice. These home trainers consist of sturdy steel tubes and use a pedal system that can be operated with the hands or feet. You can conveniently adjust the resistance to your fitness level.
Dumbbells and hand trainers
Dumbbells are probably the quintessential training devices for building strength - even the ancient Greeks and Romans strengthened their muscles by lifting weights. But the crude iron weights of earlier times are history. Today we can offer high-tech dumbbells that are perfectly balanced and sometimes even have adjustable counterweights to enable special training methods such as vibration training.
Classic dumbbell designs such as the dumbbell have two weights - one at each end of a short handle. In our shop, you can find these dumbbells in chrome or various bright colors, with a foam rubber grip or with vinyl-coated handles.
Our range also includes kettlebells. These are equipped with a ring-shaped handle that can be held with one or both hands, depending on the training method. Kettlebells are also available in various colors, with each color representing a different weight. Because of their versatility, kettlebells are often used in the rehabilitation field.
Hand trainers and finger trainers are designed entirely to train the muscles of the hands and fingers. Hand trainers in the form of plastic balls or eggs can be used to train grip strength. You can hold them in your hand and train by repeatedly squeezing and releasing the hand muscles, even while watching television or on your way to work in your jacket pocket.
Other types of hand trainers consist of handles connected by steel springs. Compressing the springs has the same training effect as hand training with flexible balls. Simply use whichever you prefer.
A further interesting approach to hand and finger training is so-called therapy putty. This non-sticky silicone modeling compound can be rolled and kneaded between the fingers. This keeps the fingers and wrists constantly moving, which benefits both mobility and the coordination of the individual fingers.
Kneading also has a relaxing effect for many users and can serve as a means of stress management. Some people bite their nails or play with their pen - therapy putty is more useful and more aesthetically pleasing.
The hand trainers offered are suitable for many physiotherapy measures. They are often used after hand or finger surgery to rebuild the muscles and regain full mobility. In everyday life, hand training helps prevent joint wear and other ailments.
If your job involves, for example, a lot of typing on computer keyboards, your fingers and wrists often remain in the same position for a long time and perform fairly one-sided tasks. Hand and finger trainers provide the variety and strengthening that modern office work cannot offer.
Hand trainers and finger trainers are available in many different resistance levels. So even if your grip strength is very low, you can start at a low level and gradually improve.
Balance trainers - train balance and reflexes
Balance trainers enable versatile training that does not require you to lift weights or stretch resistance bands. Instead, you simply stand on the training device - for example, a round balance board - and let your body train "by itself." Of course, it does not work entirely without your participation, because you have to keep yourself upright on the device.
A balance board has a flat standing surface on top but tapers to a semicircular shape underneath. As a result, constant fine muscular corrections in the legs, back, and abdomen - in fact, the entire body - are necessary to remain standing upright on the device.
This not only gently trains your muscles, joints, and ligaments, but also improves your reflexes and sense of balance. This holistic training is made possible by a training device that can be stored practically in any drawer.
If you suffer from severe balance disorders, we advise against using balance trainers without medical or therapeutic support and guidance. It is also advisable to avoid using a balance trainer under the influence of alcohol or strong medications that cloud your consciousness in order to prevent injuries.
Thera-Bands and fitness bands
Fitness bands such as Thera-Bands, Deuser bands, or classic expanders also enable training in the smallest space. You can do a wide variety of exercises in the living room, kitchen, or other rooms.
The handy fitness bands can be rolled up to save space and taken anywhere. This means you can complete an amazingly versatile fitness program in your hotel room or during waiting times at the airport even while traveling.
The elastic latex bands can be incorporated into many fitness or aerobics programs. Fitness bands can also be used in martial arts to train muscle tension and explosive strength.
Gymnastics: Balls, rings, and mats
Gymnastics balls, gymnastics rings, and gymnastics mats are ideal if you take your physical conditioning seriously and want to do more than "just" lift weights. Balls and rings are sports equipment suitable for numerous exercises in gymnastics, aerobics, or movement therapy. The highly elastic gymnastics or Pilates balls from our shop are also suitable as dynamic seats.
Yes, we even carry stability balls, which are secured against rolling away by rubber feet. We also offer wall mounts and stacking aids for the balls - especially practical for fitness studios or the sports halls of clubs or schools.
If you want to strengthen your muscles, circulation, and endurance at home, you naturally need a suitable surface to protect your bones and joints. An exercise mat is recommended as a padded base, at least for exercises performed kneeling or lying down.
Made from non-slip materials, the gymnastics or yoga mats remain securely in place even on your home parquet floor or other smooth floor coverings. As a cushioning protective layer between you and the floor, the mats relieve your bones and joints during all exercises, from sit-ups to complex yoga poses.
As you can see, our range of sports equipment and equipment for home training is very extensive. If you have any questions about our products, you are of course welcome to call us at any time or send us an email. We look forward to helping you.
