Vinyl Weights
Are you looking to build muscle and tone your body by adding strength training to your fitness routine? You’ll need weights to do that. If you want to start with a budget-friendly option, consider investing in a vinyl weight set from Marcy. Vinyl weights are durable and compact and can make the perfect addition to your home gym!
Why Add Strength Training to your Fitness Routine?
Cardiovascular exercises like running, biking, and swimming can improve your heart health and burn off excess calories, but only strength training will let you build muscle and sculpt your body. Strength training can give you the look you want while also making you stronger, so you can lift heavy grocery bags or tussle with the kids when they want to play.
Weight training also keeps your bones strong. This can help you live a better life and avoid injury, especially as you age. Finally, muscle burns more calories than fat. The more muscles you have on your body, the more calories you’ll burn throughout the day!
There are many options to add strength training to your fitness routine and one of the best ways is to use free weights, like our vinyl weight sets. Using free weights, instead of a resistance machine that isolates specific muscles. As a result, free weights forces your stabilizer muscles to activate with each rep. In other words, your body will get more bang for its buck, when you use free weights.
About Marcy Vinyl Weights
At Marcy, we offer two unique vinyl weight plate sets. You’ll notice that vinyl weight plates aren’t made of steel, cast iron, or hardened rubber like other weight plates you might have seen. Vinyl weight plates are ideal for a beginner home gym or the exerciser on a budget. Our vinyl coated plates are durable, won’t rust, and are standard plate size (1” diameter hole.)
The vinyl coating makes them a great option if you keep your home gym in the garage or want to work out in your back yard or other outdoor area. Each weight plate is filled with cement and designed for a standard weight bar.
