Regular physical activity increases the effectiveness of weight loss efforts. It perfectly complements any diet and serves as a prerequisite for a successful fight against excess weight. Exercises using sports equipment are more effective. In particular, Dolinov’s “Lose Weight” exercise machine received many flattering reviews from those who lost weight.
How much weight can you lose? According to the developer himself, devoting up to 10 minutes to exercise on the simulator every day, it is quite possible to lose from 5 to 10 kilograms in the first month. Agree, good results (especially considering that diets can be completely abandoned). Let's take a closer look at the Lose Weight simulator.
Exercise machine "Dolinova"
The person who invented such a device suffered from extra pounds. This is what caused such a useful invention. This simulator is easy to use without resorting to external assistants. Nikolai Dolinov (the author of the invention) was able to get rid of 20 kilograms of excess weight with the help of his simulator.
Dolinov claims that with systematic training you can get the following results:
- Reduce and tighten the buttocks;
- Make the hip line clearer and more proportional;
- Strengthen the abdominal muscles;
- Significantly increase the functionality of the spinal area;
- Develop the joint area;
- Lose at least 5 kilograms.
It is worth noting that the exercise machine can be used not only for the purpose of losing weight. Many doctors prescribe exercises with this device for various pathologies of the joints and spine, to strengthen muscle tone and improve their elasticity.
Many athletes purchase a Dolinova machine to increase the effectiveness of strength training in the gym. Simplicity, ease of use and lack of discomfort when performing exercises - all this characterizes the multifunctional, universal invention of Nikolai Dolinov.
Experts advise limiting your diet if you want to not only tighten your body, but also lose weight. This device is perfect for losing weight if you switch to proper nutrition. You should consume no more than 1200 calories per day, leaving only 200 calories for dinner. The morning begins with carbohydrate foods, lunch combines proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and for dinner nutritionists advise eating exclusively protein foods.
Why should protein make up the bulk of your diet? During training on the simulator
increased muscle work occurs. How do they grow? During exercise, the muscle seems to be “torn”; it is necessary to receive a portion of protein for the growth of muscle fibers. If you plan your diet correctly, you can restore muscle structure in the shortest possible time.
Benefits for joints
The second name of the simulator is “Lose Weight”. It is useful not only for overweight people, but also for those with problematic joints and spine. It is considered effective as therapeutic exercises, during postoperative rehabilitation periods, and for traumatic injuries. The device is recommended for use in post-stroke patients to restore the functioning of the limbs.
Regular exercise improves coordination of movements and trains muscles. Rhythmic exercises increase stress resistance and improve sleep. Stability of exercise allows you to strengthen the muscular system of the legs, abdomen, and chest. As a result, the figure will look slender and fit, and posture disorders will be corrected.
Dolinov's simulator has a simple design with two ropes and four loops. Attaches to a hook in the wall or door handle. Exercises are performed through dynamic movements. In this case, the arms and legs are hooked into loops. Training is indicated for the following problems:
- post-traumatic state;
- joint pathologies;
- poor posture;
- problems with stool;
- metabolic disease.
Operating principle of the simulator
The device has four loops, two short, the other two long. It is the loops that need to be hung on the hook, then using a belt to fix the position of the legs and arms.
The simulator is compact - this is another one of its main positive characteristics. It can be kept absolutely anywhere, and, if necessary, positioned as desired.
Rules for using the simulator
The author claims that during operation it is necessary to follow the rules of use, only then will there be results from the exercises. So, advice from Nikolai Dolinov:
- First of all, it is worth paying attention to developing a training system. You don’t need to select different exercises every time, select a separate complex for yourself that you will repeat every day - you’ll see, in a month you will feel the changes and notice the first results in the mirror.
- Do not forget that the optimal height for the simulator is 1.15 meters, if you start measuring from the floor.
- In order for progress to be noticeable, it is necessary to increase the load each time.
- Each exercise you choose must be repeated 20 times in 3 sets, taking a 40-second break between sets.
To put it simply, this simulator is made in the form of several ropes with loops that are tightly fixed to a hook. It would seem that such a simple product in its structure, how does it give such amazing results?
- During active work with the simulator, almost all muscle sections are involved in the process. The exercise is comparable to five hours of running or swimming. However, due to the special position of the body, a person makes a minimum of effort - this is what determines the ease of use of the simulator.
- The muscle groups in the chest, abdomen, arms and legs work harder when a person is lying down, which is why training is allowed for people who have minor injuries or poor physical fitness.
- Dolinov revealed that when exercising on a simulator, metabolic processes are greatly accelerated, as a result of which fat deposits undergo intense combustion.

Good results for losing weight at home. Is not it? What is the cost of such an effective and useful simulator?
How to make a Dolinov simulator yourself
Almost anyone can perform such a simulator; you just need to purchase tools and accessories. Should you buy:
- Carbine, about 30 mm;
- A sling having a width of 5 cm;
- Screw for fastening, made in the form of a half ring;
- Scissors;
- Matchbox.
The basic element of the simulator will be a rope, which is cut into two main parts, the ends need to be singed, and attached to the block. The tubes, which in the original design are used for eyelets, are darkened with slings. It is necessary to cut them into 4 parts and singe the ends. The tape is folded in half, using a sewing machine you need to make straight stitches. The next step is to thread the ribbon pipes onto the main rope. It is necessary to make the most reliable and strong knots. You need to secure the ropes to the block; to do this, make a double knot. The simulator is ready to use!
Second manufacturing option
In this case, to work you will need:
- rope with a core (diameter - 0.5-0.7 cm, length - 670 cm);
- scissors;
- two blocks with a cross section of 3 cm;
- half-ring fastening screw;
- slings (width – 5 cm, length – 140 cm).
Obviously, the main element of the entire device here will also be the rope. Take it, cut it into two parts, singe the ends, and then insert it into the block. In the original version, the loops are equipped with tubes, but slings can be used instead. Cut the ribbon into four equal parts and singe the ends. Next, fold the sling in half and, using a sewing machine, sew a straight stitch (remember the tacks on the heel/end portion of this stitch).
Self-Installation of the Simulator - Method No. 2
When everything is ready, proceed to the first lesson. Do it by lying down and pressing your lower back to the floor. Place your hands/feet in the handles and begin making movements that simulate riding a bicycle. There are a number of other exercises, but in any case, running should begin with a short warm-up
.
Reviews
Many people have already tried this simulator, and the results allow us to give the device positive ratings. Users share their experience of using the Dolinov simulator on the Internet.
Konstantin, 38 years old “Hello, I once saw on the Internet a master class on making a Dolinov simulator. I immediately decided to try making one for myself and my wife, as it is very easy to make. We never actively played sports, but tried to keep ourselves in shape through proper nutrition. To be honest, I did not immediately appreciate the usefulness of this product; you need to get used to it, and this takes time. My wife liked the exercise machine, we work out every other day. The workouts are always different; we learn about new sets of classes online. In three months I lost 6 kilograms, perfectly toned my chest muscles, and trimmed my stomach.”
Elena Aleksandrovna, 42 years old “Good afternoon! I want to share my impressions of the Dolinov simulator! A friend told me about it, she lost 14 kilograms by doing simple exercises. Naturally, I also bought one for myself. I work out every day and limit my diet. I like the effect, my buttocks have tightened up, cellulite has even gone away. I will continue training to maintain my results.”
Ksenia, 26 years old “My fitness instructor recommended purchasing Nikolai Dolinov’s exercise machine to exercise in my free time from training. I immediately bought it, my boyfriend assembled it for me. At first I didn’t really like it, but later I understood the essence of its functionality. Without straining at all, I was able to strengthen the muscles of my abs, butt, and legs. I noticed results within two weeks. I recommend it to everyone, it’s a good thing!
Benefits, effectiveness, properties
Are the results declared by the inventor really achievable? Yes. You can achieve such indications as weight loss of 10 kg per month. But in combination with diet. This is exactly what nutritionists say. According to them, to lose 500 g of fat you need to burn 3500 kcal. Therefore, short ten-minute workouts should be combined with a low-calorie diet. In this case, training on the Dolinov simulator will bring a significant reduction in volume and weight loss.
Nikolai Dolinov’s home exercise machine “Lose Weight,” according to the creator himself, helps reduce training time and replace grueling exercises with various sports equipment. This device is actively used not only at home, but also in medical institutions. To make a “Lose Weight” exercise machine with your own hands, you don’t need a lot of effort or money.
The rope exercise machine described below is believed to promote rapid weight loss with a minimum of effort. Is it true? To answer the question, let’s get acquainted with the operating principle of this device.
Start by preparing everything you need. So, to make Dolinov’s “Lose Weight” simulator with your own hands, you will need:
- polypropylene pipe 50 cm long (internal section - 2 cm);
- electric drill, 8 mm drill for it;
- carabiners (3 pcs.) with rings with a diameter of 3.5-4 cm;
- metal saw;
- synthetic belt, the width of which is 3-4 cm and the length - 300 cm;
- hooks (also 3 pcs.) with a cross section of 0.8 cm; necessarily with half rings at the ends;
- synthetic rope with high strength and smooth surface; the diameter of this rope is at least 1 cm, and the length is 800 cm;
- plastic dowels (3 pcs.).
There should be no difficulties with purchasing everything listed above. It is quite obvious that if you are a woman, then, due to your fragility and subtle mental organization, it is better to entrust the work to a representative of the stronger sex. So, after preparing everything you need, you can get down to business.
If you follow the recommendations below, you will be able to avoid mistakes during the manufacturing/installation process.
- The finished simulator should be placed either against the wall or at the door frame.
- The height of the hole for fixing the hooks is 10 cm, 100 cm and 230 cm from the floor surface.
- It is important that the tensioning mechanism be able to withstand a load of at least 70 kg, while the user himself must weigh a maximum of 200 kg.
- After the dowels with hooks are inserted into the wall, a pair of ropes are attached.
Step 1 . To make the “Lose Weight” simulator with your own hands, first take the pipe and cut it according to the 12.5 cm markings (provided that this was not done in the store).
Step 2. Place belts in the resulting sections, the length of each of which is 50 cm, then sew (you can either manually or using a sewing machine).
Step 3. Overlap the sides to form a ring. As for the leg tubes, you need to place a pair of straps in them.
Step 4. Tie a 100 cm long rope with a ring. Remember that the knots must have increased strength - when the load increases, the ropes often slip. After this, attach carabiners (they are used in our example, not blocks, since they are easier and cheaper to buy) to the ring.
Step 5. Divide the remaining rope in two. Tie the ends to the strap rings that are placed in the tubes. Place carabiners on separate ropes.
All using inexpensive components and materials, you have made a convenient rope trainer for weight loss.
Source materials
How to make the “Lose Weight” simulator correctly and not miss a single detail? To do this, we need a polypropylene pipe with an internal cross-section of 20 mm and a length of 5 meters. In addition, do not forget to find an electric or any other drill and a drill bit with a diameter of 8 mm. Buy 3 strong iron carabiners and rings for them (with a diameter of 35 to 40 mm).
You also need a metal saw, a strong synthetic belt with a width ranging from 3 to 4 centimeters (the optimal length is 3 meters). Next, you need hooks (quantity - 3 pcs.) with a cross section of 8 mm. There should be half rings at the ends.
In addition, buy an elastic, but at the same time highly durable rubberized rope (preferably synthetic) with a flat and smooth surface. Its diameter must be at least 10 mm with a length of 8 meters. The list of starting materials is completed by ordinary plastic dowels (3 pcs.).
As you can see, the list of necessary components is not that long. Moreover, they are all relatively inexpensive. Finding them won't be difficult. Don't have a saw or electric drill? Don’t rush to buy, ask your friends and acquaintances.
It’s not difficult to make a weight loss exercise machine yourself. We provide a detailed description of the process and five simple steps that will bring you closer to your desired figure and optimal body weight. So, don't sit idly by. Let's start to act.
- Step one. The purchased pipe must be carefully cut into separate sections in increments of 12.5 centimeters (if this has not been done before, in the store). Next you will understand why this is necessary.
- Step two. As a result, we ended up with small segments. It is necessary to insert belts into them (the length of each of them should be 50 centimeters). Then we sew them either manually or using a sewing machine.
- Step three. Place the sides on top of each other to form a closed ring. We place two straps in the leg tubes.
- Step four. The rope (1 meter long) must be tied with a ring. In this case, the knots must be strong and highly durable, because during training the rope will quite possibly slide. Next, we fasten the available carabiners to the ring. We deliberately use carbines rather than blocks: firstly, they are easier to find; secondly, they are cheaper.
- Step five. We divide the remaining synthetic rope in two. We tie its ends to belt rings that are located in the tubes. We put one carabiner on separate ropes.
