Steel Sledge Hammer For Cross-Training — Apollo Athletics (F-HAM)

Apollo Athletics Steel Sledge Hammers For Cross-Training – Weighted sledgehammers are an affordable and portable tool for resistance training indoors or outdoors. Sledgehammer training is an effective whole body exercise, and is increasing in popularity with crossfit, strongman, and fitness cross-training. Each swing starts at your feet, travels up through your legs and hips, is transmitted via your core muscles up into your chest, back, and shoulders and finally delivered through your upper and lower arms. All of these muscles working together demand a large amount of oxygen which makes sledgehammer swinging very metabolically demanding. Short sets using maximum power with heavier sledge hammers will develop strength and anaerobic fitness. Longer sets using lighter strikes with lighter weight sledge hammers will develop aerobic fitness and muscular endurance. Because swinging a sledgehammer uses a large percentage of your muscle mass, it is also a very effective calorie burner and is easily comparable with other whole body low impact workouts like rowing and swimming as well as heavy bag punch training. So grab a weighted training hammer, find yourself a used tire, and start swinging. It’s HAMMER TIME!

Fitness Sledgehammers come in 5 different weights and sizes to accommodate different user strength capabilities: 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 lbs. Full sets also allow the user to perform sledge hammer training drop sets, much like using barbells or dumbbells, where once the user gases out with a heavy hammer they quickly drop down to a lighter hammer enabling them to continue with a few more swings.
