Gym could be really intimidating and even confusing for a beginner since there is so much equipment, and some of them are pretty complex and quite difficult to use. But don’t worry, if you are a new timer at a gym and need some help to start your workout, here are some of the best and easiest gym equipment for beginners to use.
Assisted Pull Up
Pull ups are one of the most difficult exercises to do since it involves and requires a great amount of upper body and core strength. But the good news is, in the gym you can find equipment that can make this hard exercise a little easier to do.
To use the equipment for assisted pull up, set the level of assistance you want from the machine, make sure it’s comfortable for you but also don’t make it too easy, try to keep it challenging. Hold onto the pull up bar, place your knees onto the knee pad, and start pulling.
Treadmills
A treadmill is one of the most recommended and easiest gym equipment for beginners to use since it’s pretty simple and straightforward. You can start with a walking speed to warm up and raise your heart beat, and then make the equipment faster to burn some calories and strengthen your legs. The controls in a treadmill should be pretty easy to use, but if you’re not sure, please ask for assistance from a gym staff.
Cable Machine
This equipment is a free motion machine that can be used to work out a lot of your body parts with a wide variety of resistance exercises. It involves pulling cables that are connected to stacked weights inside the equipment which you can adjust to your comfortable weights by placing a pin.
The cable machine is particularly good for beginners since you can work this equipment at all angles and make your muscles receive continuous tension throughout the movements. This equipment will activate more muscles to burn energy, stabilize your core, and build your functional strength.
Those are the best and easiest gym equipment for beginners you can choose in your first time at a gym. You can also choose other equipment that is quite easy to use like a stationary bike, a leg press machine, a seated row machine, and a lat pull down.
