A dip belt, also known as a weighted belt, is a piece of fitness equipment worn around the waist to add resistance to exercises like pull-ups, dips, and squats. It consists of a chain or strap with a weight attached, typically made of iron or steel. The belt’s primary purpose is to increase the intensity of bodyweight workouts, enabling users to challenge themselves with more weight than their body alone provides.
Dip belts offer several advantages for fitness enthusiasts. By adding weight, they enhance muscular strength and endurance. They are particularly effective for building back, shoulder, and arm muscles. Additionally, dip belts can improve core stability, as the user needs to engage their abdominal and lower back muscles to maintain balance while performing weighted exercises.
