BASED EQUIPMENTS

WEIGHT BASED
EQUIPMENTS |
|
Hydraulic based equipments are
based on the latest Hydraulic principle. |
Weight based equipments are
obsolete and out dated.
|
|
These equipments do not rely upon
gravity, i.e. a person accomplishes/achieves twice as much positive
workout within the same amount of time as compared to Weight based
equipments. In other words it cuts down the workout time by half as
compared to the weight based equipments.
|
Weight based equipments are
directly related to gravitational force.
|
|
Machines based on Hydraulic
principle are 100% safe and can be used by any age group (from 5years
85 years) by both male and female, as it adjusts automatically and
continuously to the strength, power, the speed output and the need of
the person using it. |
They are risky, dangerous, unsafe,
prone to injuries or accidents and different health ailments/ problems.
|
|
Hydraulic based equipments,
combines the best of Isotonic, Iso-kinetic and Isometric exercises.
|
Only Iso-kinetic benefits are
attained in Weight based equipments.
|
|
In hydraulic machines the
resistance varies depending upon the speed and the force applied, i.e.
Higher the speed at which the force is applied, higher the resistance
will be and lower the speed at which the force applied, lower will be
the resistance. In no case it can over strain the muscle groups unless a
person tries himself by applying more force than his capacity.
|
In case of conventional weight
based machines, the person doing workout gets tired after sometime. He
is forced to lift the same weight, with which he started. Eg. Suppose he
starts his workout by lifting 50 kgs weight. After 2-3 minutes he will
get tired, then either he will have to take rest in between for 5-6
minutes for next set of workout or he will have to reduce the weight,
say from 50 to 49-48-47-46-45-44-43-42 and so on which is not practical
in case of weight based machines. |
|
A person can start doing his
workout from any position and leave anywhere even in the mid-way, very
safely without any fear of accident because nothing will or can come
crashing down on him/her. |
A person has to start his workout
from a fixed starting position and leave at a fixed leaving position.
|
|
Hydraulic based equipments are
designed mainly for FITNESS. These machines
are not for bodybuilding but they can be used for bodybuilding.
|
They are basically designed for
bodybuilding and not for FITNESS.
|
|
These machines give aerobic
benefits, i.e. Hydraulic based equipments increases fitness level and
improves body-shape by fast and repeated workout.
|
Aerobic benefits are not possible
in these equipments.
|
|
Circuit training i.e. set of
repeated series of exercises, is very easily attained in these machines.
|
Circuit training is not possible
in these equipments.
|
|
These machines provide maximum
conditioning in minimum space and time with maximum safety.
|
These machines occupy lot of space
and workout time is 4 times higher than Hydraulic equipments.
|
|
There is no sound generated when a
person does his daily workout on these machines. |
They generate lot of sound
disturbing other people/ members, when a person does his workout.
|
|
They are portable and freestanding
as they does not need any foundation/fixing to the floor/walls and can
be moved anywhere at any time
|
They require foundation i.e.
fixing to the floor, for a person to start his workout.
|
|
These machines uses, no chains, no
cams, no cranks, no water buckets and gravity acting weights, which can
make people hurt themselves while exercising.
|
These machines uses, chains,
pulleys and weights for workout.
|
|
Hydraulic based equipments can be
placed directly on the floor. Thus one can keep the workout place more
Hygienic by avoiding carpet or rubber flooring. You can have marble or
granite flooring which is easier to clean and is more hygienic.
|
In case of Weight based
equipments, a carpet or rubber flooring is a must to avoid damage to the
floor because there is fear of weights falling on the floor and to get
rid of the Bang-Bang sound while doing workout. Carpet flooring is not
hygienic and rubber is prone to allergies.
|
|
These machines do not need a
supporter/instructor on every time workout, as these machines keep on
adjusting automatically and continuously to the need and capacity of a
person every time he uses. |
A full time instructor/ supervisor
is required for ladies and gents separately in case of these machines.
|
|
It is essential to do workout with
one side positive and one side negative for proper muscle development.
These machines improve Aerobic endurance, flexibility, muscular
strength, cardio-vascular conditioning and stamina. The user gains
maximum flexibility, as there is no chance of stiffness in the muscles
and minimizes the risk of building very stiff body.
|
The consequence of exercising on
weight-based equipment is, development of very thick muscles and stiff
body resulting in sprain very often.
|
|
Due to busy schedule, if you stop
workout on Hydraulic based equipments there is no chance that your
muscles will hang and leave the bones.
|
If you stop workout on
weight-based equipments, your muscles will start hanging and will leave
the bones in the later age. The result can be seen from the body
builders who have stopped their daily workout.
|
|
These machines need hardly any
maintenance. |
These machines need regular
maintenance and servicing.
|
|
These machines are the best for
rehabilitation as they help in the quicker/faster recovery of a person
from illness and attain back his fitness level. |
Not good for rehabilitation. (If
used, it should be used under supervision of qualified person).
