Hello dear readers of my blog. Swedish wall exercises are great way work out all muscle groups, improve posture, and at the same time lose weight.
Which of them are the most effective and how can a beginner start doing it? Today we will find out, friends.
swedish trail
The Swedish wall, as the name implies, appeared in Sweden, and it happened already like two hundred years ago.
IN early XIX century therapist, teacher of languages, gymnastics and fencing, scientist, and part-time poet Per Henrik Ling came up with his own sports system, which in his native country is known as ribbstol (ribstool), (that is, "frame with crossbeams").
What it is?
This gymnastic apparatus was very well known in the USSR - it could be found in school gyms, medical institutions.
Today it has slightly decreased in size - it no longer takes up space around the entire perimeter of the hall, but it has become more functional.
Usually this is a ladder attached to the wall. At your request, all kinds of additional shells are attached to it - bars, a horizontal bar, an inclined bench.
And all this takes up little space and can be placed right in the apartment. Most wall models can easily withstand a weight of 100-150 kg, and some up to 250 kg.
Why is this needed?
Initially, Ling positioned his invention solely for the correction of bodily health. Gradually, his projectile became a multifunctional simulator that is suitable for everyone - for men, women and children and allows you to:
- Build strength and flexibility
- Pump the press
- improve coordination
- Strengthen the muscles of the spine
And in general, improve health, and of course lose weight.
By the way, on modern walls you can do many of the same exercises as in gyms. For example, strengthening the lumbar.
The secrets of proper training
For beginners, it is important to remember the simplest.
First steps
You should not immediately “hang yourself” on the crossbar if you have zero or almost close to such physical fitness.
Because in this way you will only get injured and earn negative experience that will scare you away from further training.
Simple Rules
- Before you start training, do not forget to warm up. Elements it can include the most common - just a small complex with squats, bends, swings. Warm up your muscles, stretch your joints.
- Before you start doing sets of exercises on the projectile itself, practice just holding in the hang for at least 3-5 minutes. Please note that due to insufficient strong hands, shoulders, back muscles you can get injured. At first, enter a simple rule - just hang on the bar for as long as you have enough.
- First, train without a wall - standing, sitting, on the floor - depending on the element itself.
For stretching
Promotes stretching of different muscle groups. Such a stretching complex can be either a separate type of training or part of a general set of exercises. In this case, it is used as a kind of warm-up, warm-up.
Why is this needed?
Stretching not only develops flexibility, but also improves metabolism, promotes the formation beautiful figure. Incidentally, this is one of the most beneficial species.
The rules here are the same as for stretching on the floor:
- Do not rush, movements are smooth, clear control of pain.
- In each of the elements performed, you need to fix the pose for 5-60 seconds.
Duration - depends on the goals that you set for yourself.
If you are already in good shape and just want to keep it flexible and fit, then 5-10 minutes after exercise will be enough.
If you want to properly develop your flexibility and, as a result, for example, sit on a twine, then the lesson can be about 30 minutes in time.
Stretch Options
Hanging on two hands - holding the crossbar with your hands, freeze in this position for 1-3 minutes. Helps stretch the muscles of the back and arms.
And the same thing on one arm - it helps to work out the lateral (oblique) muscles of the back and abdomen. You need to hang sideways to the projectile alternately on one or the other hand.
Deflection. Initial position- stand on the floor or on the bottom step facing the wall, hold on to the crossbar at hip level with your hands. Arching your back, slowly lower yourself back to the maximum level possible for you.
A small set of stretching exercises
General exercises
Let's now get acquainted with the simplest and most popular of them.
For the spine (back)
The most important and most basic thing here is vis. Keep your palms on the bar at the top and relax your legs. An excellent stretch for the back, in addition, the vertebrae fall into place, the back is strengthened.
Increase the load gradually - hang the first lessons for 30 seconds and gradually bring the time up to 5 minutes.
You can perform this element as a warm-up. At the same time, options are possible - when hanging, you can bend in an arc, swing your legs to the side, etc.
For hips
The simplest exercise looks like this: one leg is fixed on the crossbar (about 2-3 from the floor), squat on the second. At the same time, it is suitable not only for the buttocks and hips, but also develops coordination of movements.
For the press
A good and at the same time gentle training will be such an element:
Regular hanging + pulling the knees to the body.
Also slim stomach can be formed as follows: raise straight legs at an angle of 90 degrees. From the first time it is ideal to do so, of course, it will not work for you. But gradually, with regular classes, everything will work out.
Another option for the press, "floor". Place your feet on the bar below and lift your body towards your feet.
for the sides
The usual hang, during which you make turns of the torso to the sides. This element is not only useful for the sides, as you get rid of the creases on the sides. It also helps to put in place the displaced vertebrae and remove back pain.
For legs
To stretch the front and rear surface feet, do the following:
Secure one leg on the bar above waist level, leave the other on the floor. The knees are straight. Stretch your arms, body and head towards the raised leg. Then straighten up and turn sideways. The next time you bend over, you should already be stretching your side.
Caution won't hurt
In general, classes on such a projectile are suitable for literally everyone.
The most important thing to remember to avoid injury is not to overdo it. Warm up the muscles, do regular exercises first, without a wall, gradually train strength and endurance, and do not forget to give rest to the body.
For more effective weight loss, let's rest each muscle group for 1-2 days. According to experts, this makes it possible subcutaneous fat burn faster.
What to remember
- Swedish wall - sports equipment which allows you to work out all muscle groups well.
- Beginners do not need to rush - increase the load gradually, initially train all movements on the floor.
- Do not forget that for real weight loss, it is important not only to exercise regularly, but also to monitor what you eat by referring to the principles.
Do you train on such a simulator? What are the results? Share in the comments, friends. And I say goodbye to you, until we meet again.
What exercises can you do at home? The easiest option is to buy a Swedish wall, which combines several useful simulators at once. Even the most inexpensive classic version can be used at least for pumping the press, arms, shoulders, as well as for stretching. In this article we will talk about what exercises you can perform on the Swedish wall.
Stretching
The first block of exercises to be performed before power loads. The Swedish wall is good because you can stretch on it different groups muscles. For example, in order to warm up the muscles of the back before training, you can hang on the horizontal bar, fix your feet between the stairs and arch the body in a crescent so that it stretches in the direction from the wall. But remember, such exercises must be performed carefully, gradually increasing the angle of the stretch.
You can stretch the muscles of the legs and hips, shoulders, back and arms at the same time. To do this, there is a simple exercise when you need to put your foot on the stairs and reach for the toe with your palms. In this case, the back should be straight in order to ensure maximum stretching efficiency.
Arms, shoulders and chest
Arm and shoulder exercises are something that many guys visit gyms for, spending a lot of money on it. But in order to pump up relief muscles (mind you, it is relief, not voluminous), you only need a Swedish wall with a horizontal bar and bars. Pulling up on the horizontal bar with a classic grip, when the palms look at you, you pump your biceps, as well as triceps, shoulders and back.
Bars - a narrowly focused simulator. Push-ups on them involve triceps, and for an unprepared guy, even one set will be very difficult, not to mention training with additional weight. Remember: the sharper the angle at the bend of the arm during push-ups, the more effectively the triceps are worked out. Take your time, start with a small bend angle, and then, when you feel strong in yourself, increase efficiency. Push-ups on the uneven bars, you use the deltoid (shoulders), shoulder (at the bend of the elbow) and brachioradialis muscles (below the elbow). Also, when push-ups on the uneven bars, the pectoralis major muscle works.
Back
The back is pumped with pull-ups wide grip. To do this, you need to hang on the horizontal bar so that your arms form an angle of 90 degrees in the crook of your elbow. In this pull-up, the trapezius, large round, and also the latissimus dorsi muscles work. In addition, this exercise works the deltoid and brachioradialis muscles, biceps and triceps of the arms.
Press
The easiest way to pump up the rectus abdominis muscles is to pump the press in classic exercise“twisting”, when the athlete lies on the floor, the feet are fixed between the stairs and the body is lifted so as to get as close to the feet as possible with the head. The higher the feet are, the more difficult it is to perform the exercise.
To work out the external oblique muscles of the abdomen, you can perform oblique twists. The principle is the same as that of ordinary ones, but the task is not to raise the body as high as possible, but to tilt it to the side as much as possible.
You can pump the upper rectus abdominis muscles in the exercise on the uneven bars. To do this, put your hands on the bars so that your back and elbows rest against the Swedish wall, and then raise your legs so that an angle of 90 degrees or more is formed. Remember that the back should be firmly leaning against the wall and not involved in this exercise.
Legs and buttocks
To pump the muscles of the legs on the Swedish wall, you need to tie an additional weight to your feet, stand on the stairs and lift one leg with the most acute angle possible. This exercise works the biceps and quadriceps muscles of the thighs (internal and external upper muscles legs), as well as the gluteal muscles.
To work through triceps thighs (calves), you need to tie an additional load to your feet, hang on the stairs so that the body fits snugly against the Swedish wall, and bend your legs. This exercise will target the biceps and glutes.
What Swedish wall should be installed at home
Do you remember the uncomfortable Swedish walls in physical education classes at school. They were far from safe, and uncomfortable, and few people enjoyed exercising on them.
On street sites you can find various complexes consisting of horizontal bars, bars, hand walkers and
Everyone knows that on the horizontal bar you can pull yourself up in different ways, do all sorts of things, do push-ups from the bars, but what and how to do on the Swedish wall is a big question for many.
As with other structures, the variety of exercises is limited only by our imagination. Most of the exercises involve many muscle groups, but I broke them down into several parts according to the greatest load. What do I usually do in training using wall bars?
So let's go. First, exercises for the abs and muscles of the core, because there are more of them.
Press
1. Lifting in the hang of the legs bent at the knees up to 90 *. If it works, then knees to shoulders.
2. Lifting straight legs up to 90 *. If you can, raise your straight legs until they touch the bar.
3. Bent leg raise, knee to opposite shoulder.
4. Lifting the legs in a circle to the right, then to the left. Everything is practically the same as on the horizontal bar, but it is much more difficult to perform the exercises due to the body fixed by the wall.
5. Lifting the body in the hang upside down, holding the wall bars with your feet. This is a complicated version of lifting the body on an inclined bench.
6. While hanging, swing your legs to the sides, with fixation at the top point. Feet as if the lower part of the pendulum swing to the right - to the left. The oblique muscles of the abdomen and the latissimus dorsi work well.
7. Hanging upside down (not high, head slightly above floor level), lower straight legs down until they touch the floor, lift back up. This is a more advanced version of the reverse hyperextension.
8. Holding the corner in the hang.
9. Holding straightened legs at the crossbar in the hang.
Shoulders
10. Exit to the handstand facing the wall. IP position in an emphasis with his back to the wall, legs on the ground near the wall. We step onto the first step by raising our legs, put the second. We keep the body and legs straight, and the press tense. And so on until we get to the handstand position. We also go down to IP. For me, this is a great warm-up before going out. When I especially want to make the most of it.
11. Push-ups in a handstand facing the wall / to the wall.
Back
12. Static hanging with arms bent under 90 * facing the wall. Allows you to feel the work latissimus dorsi, because work with hands immediately causes pain while resting your elbows on the crossbar.
Hands
13. French push-ups (triceps extension). You can pick up the load in accordance with the level of the practitioner - it’s impossible to do it on the lower crossbar, we go one higher, etc.
Legs
14. Bulgarian split squats. IP one leg on the wall on the rise, the other supporting on the ground. Bend and straighten the supporting leg.
15. Flexion on the biceps of the thigh (from Maxim Trukhonovets).
16. Rise on toes, standing on the lower bar, lifting on the toe of one leg.
grip
17. Hanging on the bar for the maximum time.
Hitch, support, supply
18. Swedish wall ideal for stretching and hitching. But this is a separate issue.
19. You can use the wall as a support. Do we want to squat properly? We do it with perfect technique, leaning on the crossbar. Unable to sit on one leg? Facilitate the squat by resting your hand on the crossbar of the wall. Learning to do push-ups on one hand? We put one hand on the floor, the other on the lower crossbar or higher.
20. Whoever cannot do Australian pull-ups can do wall-facing pull-ups. You can also start doing pull-ups on one.
Advanced level exercises
21. Planck La Lane. PI hands on the lower crossbar of the wall, feet on the ground. Arms, legs and body are one straight line. We hold the maximum time. You can also do plank push-ups. Great exercise for the back and shoulders. If it doesn’t work on the lower bar, choose your level.
22. Penetration. IP hanging on the wall. Then, with steps - midgets, we go until the legs are fixed vertically upwards at the crossbar (heel right foot placed on the toe of the left, fixed in this position, the left foot is placed with the heel on the toe of the right, and so on to the very top). This exercise is for those who have strong abs and a good stretch.
23. Fold. We stand on the lower crossbar (it can be higher, but for safety it’s better to go to the lower one), we take the crossbar 3-4 steps higher, arms and legs are straightened, we move our hands one crossbar lower and so on until we reach the second from the bottom. We fix the position as much as we can. If it doesn’t work out on the second, we do it on the third / fourth in accordance with the level. This requires a certain amount of strength and flexibility. The exercise develops grip and stretching well. It is necessary to follow the sensations. If discomfort occurs, stop the exercise.
24. Dragon flag. It is performed in the same way as on a pole, only the emphasis goes with its back on the crossbar, which somewhat eases the load in terms of pressure. You can do lightweight options: with legs spread apart, with bent legs, scissors. Careful with your head, do not leave it between the crossbars on the other side of the Swedish wall! This exercise is not suitable for walls with a narrow rung spacing!
25. Flag and leading exercises to it.
Someday, when I have time, I will record a video or take a photo of each exercise. Do not be upset if the exercise does not work the first time. Before performing, evaluate your strength so as not to get injured. All health, success in training and achieving goals! If you have your own options for exercises on the Swedish wall, write in the comments.
This simulator can reallycall it universal. Firstly, it does not take up much space in the house and is almost invisible. In general, you can hide it behind a curtain or place it in the back of the room, where no one will bother you to study. Secondly, the Swedish wall helps to achieve a wide variety of results:
- Muscle tone. At daily activities for 10-15 minutes you will forever forget what muscle flaccidity is in the morning. Your body will always be in good shape, it will be much easier to cope with various loads, whether it is climbing stairs or regular household chores. Needless to say, such activities also improve morale, uplifting mood.
- Slimming. Surely most women want to buy a Swedish wall precisely for this. Needless to say, this is justified. Such a simulator really helps in losing weight, thanks to rather big loads that are formed due to the weight of your body.
- Impact on all muscle groups. The uniqueness of the exercises on the Swedish wall for women lies in the fact that classes help to influence absolutely all muscle groups: back, abs, abdomen, hips, buttocks, shoulders and arms in general.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Swedish wall is very popular as home gym- it will help you to completely put yourself in order.
