For comfortable work with such sports equipment as a neck, special gloves are simply necessary. They allow you to firmly hold it without slipping, making training safe. Also, gloves will help reduce the pressure of the simulator on the palm.

Fitness gloves are needed for women's workouts. Very often, corns, scratches or abrasions from the simulator can form on the delicate female skin. It is thanks to the gloves that such troubles can be avoided.

Special gloves protect the wrists. Quite often, when weights increase, the wrist joints are affected, especially if they are not well kneaded before training. Gloves for fitness fix brushes in their natural position, thereby protecting it from injury.
