The surface is printed in high gloss black and shows the content. It can also be used without tools open easily and even thanks to a flap in the box close again. The product packaging is therefore also very suitable for Storage of the set.

Inside is that push-up board including accessories. The push-up board is in a bubble bag made of plastic. To allow for compact packaging and storage, the board folds in the middle the falta. There are also eight more in the bag feet for the board. Another plastic bag contains two resistance bands. Claw for the board are loose in the product packaging.

Since the product packaging is well filled, the individual parts can be stored in it don’t slide around and thus damage each other.

The push-up board is in spread out Condition just over 63 cm wide, almost 18 cm long and 17 mm high. The basic idea of the product is not particularly sustainable: push-ups can also be performed without a board. The Push-up board from Body&Mind® is therefore clever set up to get as much out of the push-up concept as possible.

The board is symmetric and has eleven on each side mounts for the handles and one anchoring for the resistance bands. The mounts are color-coded and can thus have a Legend in the middle of the board to the one being trained body area be assigned. The possible areas are shoulder, triceps, back and chest. The board is made of stable and hard Plastic, the anchorage for the metal resistance bands. The feet can be glued to the bottom of the board. Unfortunately, these can easily be confused with blind plugs for the bezels, since they have almost the same diameter. A note in the instructions that these are feet would be desirable.

The Claw are also made of hard Plastic. In order to lie comfortably in the hand, however, they have a soft one Rubber coating in reach. you let yourself light in the designated frames push in and go one stable send email now with the board.

The resistance bands consist of a stretchy rubber tube. At the bottom is a carabiner attached, which can be hooked into the anchorages in the board. At the top is a Handle, which is connected to the rubber hose via a robust band. This handle is also padded, but with foam instead of rubber.

Overall, both the board and the accessories well processed and makes one sufficient stable impression. However, fitness equipment is often exposed to high loads and therefore more stable materials such as plastic are also conceivable.

First we use in our field test the push-up board with the Griffen. There are seven available positions for the Breast, four each for the Back and triceps as well as two positions for the Shoulder. In fact, our practical test shows that, depending on the position of the handles, the muscles in the body areas to be trained differently strong claimed become. Although the training is not as targeted as on special equipment in a gym, it is impressive how large of Difference of stress by varying the angle and spacing of the handles. The Intensity of the workout can be adjusted via the height of the footrest in relation to the height of the board. For beginners, it is advisable to support the exercises on your knees.

The push-up board is also helpful to keep yourself constant and align exactly. As has been shown previously, the exact alignment and Design of great importance in push-ups. So not only the targeted training of certain muscle groups is possible, but also a comparability of your own training over a long period of time. Also the Adaptation to your own Height is possible due to the selectable distance between the handles in some positions.

In the next part of the practice test, we train with the resistance bands. The hooking in the board works thanks to the snap hooks problem-free, the resistance bands are firmly anchored. With the resistance bands, in addition to various Shoulder- and upper body exercises also the Beine be trained. For example, difficult squats are possible. A disadvantage of resistance bands is that they are neither adjustable in length nor in tension. Nevertheless, the resistance bands are a useful and effective extra.
