Sports equipment for the home is selected according to the criteria of availability, low cost and small size. It’s ideal when you can simply hide them in a drawer or under a table and quickly master the principle of their operation and basic exercises.
All these characteristics relate to the health disk. The simulator itself was popular already in Soviet times. Using the health circle, you can optimize muscle tone, pump up problem areas and adjust your waistline.
The design itself is very simple: 2 plastic or metal circles are connected using a washer, and steel bearings are placed between them, which ensures soft rotation. Improved variations are equipped with expanders or foot massagers. Some may even play a variety of melodies, alternating according to changes in exercise activity.
What is the Health Disk simulator?
Health disc for weight loss - a device for performing physical exercises. It consists of a pair of round plates, the diameter of which is 25-40 cm, and differs depending on the model. The plates are connected to each other by a bearing, thanks to which they can rotate relative to each other. The metal version was known back in the days of the Soviet Union, and is traditionally called Grace. Its disadvantage was the loud clanging sound.
The rotation disk today is a modern model made of high-quality plastic. They are distinguished by their bright colors, many are equipped with pads with pimples for a massage effect, a calorie counter and even a device for playing music. Recently, devices with attached expanders for working out the arms have become especially popular.
How to choose
When deciding to purchase a simulator, you should know a few selection rules:
- Accuracy of weight determination - maximum load is 120 kg.
- Clear formulation of lesson objectives.
From all the variety of disks, you should choose a model that solves your goals in full. For example, to tone muscles, the simplest options (even in metal versions) are sufficient. The presence of expanders and massage areas will help in the fight against excess weight.
Models equipped with magnets, a computer that counts twists, and analyzes other information are suitable for those who have identified the disc as the only exercise machine for constant home training. To accustom a child to classes, musical models are suitable - they react individually to each movement.
What is the purpose of the health disc?
The rotating disk is universal, as it is intended for training not only in the gym and at home, but also on the street or in the office - wherever it is convenient for you. Systematic performance of sports exercises will have the following effects on the body:
- pumping the rectus and oblique abdominal muscles;
- strengthening the muscles of the spine;
- optimization of the circulatory system;
- tightening of muscle fibers in the arms, legs and thighs;
- positive effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, coordination;
- Fast calorie burning: just 30 minutes on the machine will allow you to lose 250 calories.
Interesting! The device is compact, so you can easily take it with you on long trips. You don't need a lot of space for storage.
Disc exercises are an excellent addition to a system of measures to lose weight and create a thin waist.
The benefits of exercising with a disc for weight loss
A waist trainer is a convenient and budget-friendly way to always stay in shape. The benefits are obvious:
- it is possible to perform both classic turns for the waist and load many other muscles of the body;
- ideal for losing belly fat for people who lead a sedentary lifestyle;
- systematic exercises will prevent spasms, vascular diseases, digestive problems and the formation of cellulite;
- Proper nutrition and exercise for good health are the key to fast and proper weight loss;
- the exercises can be performed by both children and adults;
- Only 10 minutes of exercise will be enough to get a boost of energy and good mood for a long time.
Rules for training on the simulator
Before starting your workout, drink 250-300 ml of water. This will significantly speed up metabolic processes and help burn calories faster.
Important! To lose weight, exercise twice a day for 30 minutes, and to maintain good shape, it is enough to spend 10 minutes.
For comfort and effectiveness of training, remember:
- The device must be installed on a surface that will not slip.
- It is necessary that during the exercise the necessary muscle groups work, but the joints should not hurt.
- If you are a beginner, the main thing is not to overdo it. You should start training moderately, gradually increasing the load. We recommend starting the exercises with 10-15 minute sessions.
- Sportswear should not be restrictive, but not very loose either. Don't wear pants that are too long or loose. It’s better to wear thin socks on your feet or go barefoot.
- Before starting the training, the room should be ventilated.
Tips for performing exercises during training
First, you need to place the disc on a flat surface on which it will not slide, such as a sports mat.
For beginners, it is recommended to have some items that can be used for support in case of a fall.
15 minutes before training, to improve blood circulation, you should drink a glass of warm boiled water.
A set of exercises on a health simulator
For those who are interested in how to properly exercise on the health disk, we offer a health-improving set of exercises.
Important! In exercises 1-7, the starting position is to stand on the machine, bend your legs as if you were going to sit on a chair and turn them to the left.
- Place a couple of chairs in front of you, with both backs facing you. Use your palms to grasp the backs. Turn to the right, while straining your abdominal muscles, and perform diametric rotations in opposite directions 5 times in each direction.
- Place your hands against the wall. Turn your legs to the sides 7 times each.
- Place your arms at your sides. While standing on the machine, make 9 rotations left and right.
- Lower your limbs. Start rotating, while if your hips go to the left, then your arms go to the right. Complete 7 reps.
- As you rotate your hips to the left, raise your arms up. Do it 7 times.
- Close your arms above your head and rotate your lower torso 6 times to the sides.
- Place your hands on your ankle joints, then turn three times in each direction.
- Place the device on the seat of a chair and sit on it. Place your hands on your knees. Move your feet left and right, rolling from heel to toe 5 times.
- Remaining in the same position, lock your hands behind your back in the form of a “lock.” Push off with both feet from the floor, turn to the right, return to the original position, and then make the same movement to the left. There should be a total of 4 turns.
- Place the machine on the floor, sit down on it, bending your knees, and clasp your waist with your hands. Move your legs 4 times on each side.
- While sitting on the apparatus, place your hands on your belt and place your feet shoulder-width apart. Straighten one leg and stretch your toes as far as possible, repeat with the other leg. 8 times each.
- Stand with one of your feet on the machine and hold your waist with your hands. Perform side turns 10 times, after changing the supporting leg, repeat the exercise again.
- Take the projectile in your hands, squeezing it tightly, and rotate your hands in opposite directions. Perform for 3 minutes.
- Stand in a knee-elbow position so that your knees are on the machine, and your hands rest on the floor. Lift your feet off the floor and rotate your hips in a circle. Duration of execution is 2-3 minutes.
- Weight loss exercises should be completed with stretching. To begin, breathe deeply. Do any stretching exercises: bending, lunging, rotating your limbs. After this, walk around the room for 5-7 minutes.
Important! You can independently regulate the amplitude of work, and the load remains safe, since its level depends on body weight.

Reviews of those losing weight
- Alina: In my apartment I can’t even dream of having large exercise equipment, but I liked the health disc. It's small but effective. After just a month of a gentle diet and exercise, I easily lost 5 kilograms.
- Irina: To make sure whether the exercise machine was right for me, I studied reviews about it on the Internet, watched training videos, and decided to try it. I didn’t feel much of an effect because I worked out to the best of my ability, and I ate whatever I wanted. I plan to continue exercising and review my diet.
Positive results from using a weight loss disc will please you after just a month of regular training. The simplicity of the exercises and the compactness of the device have made it a bestseller in the sports world.
What results to expect
The exercise machine helps you lose weight by 1-2 kg per week, provided that you use it regularly and follow the correct technique.
Tightening of the hips and abdomen begins to appear from the third week of classes, so in no case should you stop working with the disc due to a long wait.
It should be remembered that achieving your goals will be significantly delayed if you practice exclusively with a disc, without involving other equipment and exercises.
But improvements in intestinal function can be noticed after 3-4 sessions; after day 7, users note a significant increase in plasticity and flexibility.
