Why a power station is useful
What is a power station?
A power station is a piece of equipment that might seem quite complex at first glance. It's a device with various handles, seats, or arm and leg rests. A power station is essentially several strength training equipment rolled into one. That's why many people who exercise at home choose this device. Because it's multiple pieces of equipment in one, you can perform a wide variety of exercises with it.
All strength equipment in one
You can often purchase a base station and expand it over time. This way, you don't have to buy a power station with parts you won't use, but can personalize the station to your workouts. Because the station is multiple pieces of equipment in one, it not only saves space in your home but also money. You don't have to buy new seats or supports every time; you can simply buy the parts you need to complete the equipment.
Perform the entire workout
Because a power station combines all the strength equipment (as desired) into one, you can often perform your entire workout with it. This means you no longer need to go to the gym to do exercises, eliminating the need for a membership. This saves money, of course, but also time. You no longer have to travel back and forth; you simply have the power station at home.
Low threshold
Because the power station is located at home, many people find it difficult to...
Exercise is often less of a concern. You no longer have to travel to the gym; you can simply do your exercises at home. Sometimes you have to wait a long time for a machine to become available at the gym, or you might not feel comfortable working out in front of others. You can also put on your own music or a TV show at home. This might make you feel more motivated to exercise.
Examples of exercises with a power station
Are you interested in purchasing a power station? Then it might be helpful to have an idea of the exercises you can perform with it so you can create a full-body workout.
Chest and back
To train your pecs, you can perform chest presses or chest flies using a strength station . With the chest press, you push the weight away from you, and with the chest fly, you push the weight out to the sides. To train your back, you can perform seated rows or lat pulls. With the seated row, you pull the weight toward you from the front, and with the lat pull, you pull the weight toward you from above.
Shoulders and legs
Exercises you can do to train your shoulders include the shoulder press and the rear delt exercise. With the shoulder press, you push the weight upward, while with the rear delt, you push the weight from the front to the sides. Finally, there are exercises you can do for your legs with a strength station: the leg curl and the leg extension. With the leg curl, you lie on your stomach and push the weight upward with your legs, while with the leg extension, you push the weight upward from a sitting position.
