For a slightly more intense work out, kettle bells are a useful set of sports training aids that are particularly good for building muscle strength in the arms and upper torso. They make fantastic baseball training aids and golf training aids because of the way they build the muscles you use in your swings. A kettle bell is a cannonball shaped training aid made of cast iron with an easy to use handle. They were originally rumored to have been used by the Russian army and are versatile training aids that can also be used for push-ups and weight lifting.
3. Barbells

An old favorite of commonly used training aids, a barbell is usually a metal bar that comes with a range of weights to be added to either end. Once an even weight is created by matching weights on either end, the user then lifts them, either while lying on their back and pushing them upwards in front of them or by picking them up from the floor or a rack. Barbells are great for exercising because they are a training aid that is suitable for someone of any level of fitness. Their weights are easily adjustable and it is possible to build the weight in small amounts to gradually increase the strain on your muscles.
So there you have it: three of the most effective forms of training aids. Barbells and kettle bells are best for building muscle and working on specific areas of the body such as the arms and shoulder muscles but if you want a more gentle work out exercise balls are the training aid for you!
