Fitness Training: equipment to work out at home

What can you find in the Fitness-Training selection?

This page brings together training equipment used outside the field, for cardio, strength training, and muscle recovery. You'll find steps and their risers, agility ladders, rowing machines, massage rollers and balls, resistance bands, and gym mats. This equipment is aimed at football players who want to enhance their physical preparation, but also at anyone who practices running or training and wants to structure their sessions at home or outdoors.

Step, rowing machine, ladder: the ranges available for your training

Each type of equipment serves a different training purpose.

• The step is used for moderate-impact cardio exercises and repeated climbs, with risers to adjust the height.
• The agility ladder works on coordination and foot speed, a classic exercise in football physical preparation.
• The rowing machine engages the entire body for a full cardio workout, at home or in the gym.
• The massage roller helps relax the muscles after exertion, alongside a more targeted massage ball.
• The resistance band supports muscle strengthening and stretching, easy to carry.
• The gym mat serves as a base for floor exercises, stretching, and core workouts.

Frequently asked questions

What equipment should I choose to start fitness at home?

A gym mat and a resistance band are enough to get started, as they allow you to work on core strength, flexibility, and muscle strengthening without bulky equipment. You can then add a step or a rowing machine depending on the space you have available.

Does a rowing machine take up a lot of space at home?

It depends on the model; some rowing machines are foldable or compact for easy storage. Check the dimensions listed on the product sheet before purchase if your storage space is limited.

What is a massage roller used for compared to a massage ball?

The massage roller covers larger muscle areas, like the thighs or back, in one pass. The massage ball targets specific, more localized points, useful for hard-to-reach areas like the arch of the foot or shoulders.

Is the agility ladder reserved for football players?

No, it is useful for all athletes wanting to work on coordination, foot speed, and changes of direction. It is used in football as well as in general physical preparation for other sports.

Do I need a different resistance band according to my level?

Resistance bands come in various levels of resistance, from the most flexible to the firmest. It's common to have several to adjust the intensity depending on the exercise being performed.
