What are the types of simulators?

Dimensions do not have to meet strict criteria, as it is your parameters that will determine future conditions.

Important! It is best to make sure that the equipment has a special backrest with the ability to easily adjust without unnecessary effort, as well as durable clamps with an angle of no more than ninety degrees.

Option 1

In order to achieve the goal, you should consider the simplest version of the simulator, which can be very simple to assemble with the necessary drawings. You can create a bench that will be equipped with four supports and be covered with a simple board. This board should always be in a horizontal position - you could see similar devices for training in many clubs.

Important! If you will soon be in a sports club, take measurements from an existing sample. But in this case, the option will be quite bulky and have a lot of weight.

Option 2

An alternative to this equipment will be a quality bench for training abdominal muscles. Such a design consists of only three supports, but independent manufacture can also be carried out with the help of two supports (rear and front).

Option 3

Some rooms are equipped with inclined benches. For home use, this option is not preferred, since the furniture will take up even more space. For an apartment, it is better to make the lightest, most reliable and easiest inventory.
