Oscar WongGetty ImagesWorkouts with dumbbells and their effects
If your goal is to make your muscles bigger (muscle hypertrophy), the first thing I would recommend is training with dumbbells.
It is said that training called "free weights" that you can move freely at your own will can make your muscles bigger in a short period of time than machine training at the gym. And dumbbells are a muscle training item suitable for this training method.
Delicate movements and large movements are possible, and you can pinpoint the load where you want to train. Although it can be used for the whole body, dumbbells are a recommended training item for those who want strong pectoral muscles, thick arms, and broad shoulders.

If you have a bench, the range of dumbbell training will increase
With a training bench, you can expand your dumbbell workouts. The so-called "bench press" becomes possible. Since you have more range of motion in your arms than when you are lying on your back on the floor, you will be able to carry more weight.

Jumping rope is an easy and simple exercise, but it is very effective for full-body exercise. It is both muscle training and aerobic exercise, so it is effective for strengthening cardiopulmonary function and burning fat. The fact that professional martial arts fighters and athletes also use jump rope exercises is a testament to its effectiveness.
Heavy Rope Winning amazon.co.jp¥4,149See details on AmazonThere are several types of jump ropes. Light vinyl materials are recommended for physical fitness and strengthening cardiopulmonary function, but if you prioritize muscle training, a heavy tube type is recommended.

Kettlebell workouts and benefits
A kettlebell is a training item with a handle attached to a lump of metal. Equipment used in the European military has become popular among American trainees, and in recent years it has become known in Japan.
Unlike a dumbbell, which is also a mass of iron, the distance between the center of gravity and the handle creates a load on the body, and it will exert an effect on various parts of the body. Among them, it is effective for training the trunk, and the training called "kettlebell swing" is particularly famous.
One of the advantages of kettlebells is that you can train intensively in a short period of time by combining muscle training and aerobic exercise.

pankrationGetty ImagesTraining and effects with a push-up bar
The push-up bar is a handle-like item that you place on the floor when doing push-ups. Using a push-up bar allows you to drop your chest lower than you would with a regular push-up, which is thought to be more effective for increasing muscle size with the same movement.
You can also change the muscles being worked by placing the pushup bar at shoulder width, wider or narrower.
Also, if you have a large push-up bar (also known as a mini parallel bar), you can also challenge yourself with the "L-sit", a difficult exercise that trains your abs and core. Training at home that can put a load on the muscles such as shoulders, arms, back, and lower body at once is valuable.
Push-up bar N worksamazon.co.jp¥5,980 See details on AmazonSince we introduced the L-sit, here we will introduce a product that is large as a push-up bar and that allows L-sit.
Most push-up bars are about 10cm high, but this one is 30cm, which is about 3 times taller. If it is higher than this, it is an exquisite height that makes it difficult to load with push-ups. It weighs about 6 kg, which is heavyweight, but it has a high sense of stability, so you can train with peace of mind.
