My Fitness Equipment... so far.
So far my fitness equipment collection has risen very slightly, but with the lack of a gym to increase my fitness levels it's important to use what I have to develop my physique.
I want to prove to myself I can get bigger and ripped up without the sole use of a gym.
So far my fitness equipment collection consists of:
I think these are very important to my routine but I keep overlooking them and still haven't developed a fitness program to incorporate these on a weekly basis.
I think that this is the main problem with smaller bits of equipment like this. People just use them once or twice they've bought them, then when the fad wares off they live in the draw.
During my current routine I am going to try and incorporate these at least three times a week.
This is something that is vital to my fitness routine, I love the fitness mat as it's saved me many a back ache (excuse the pun) I have a very spiny back and find it near to impossible to do sit ups without this supporting me.
It's also great as it's easy to store (lives under my cupboard) and when I get the mat out I tend to do a full routine on it of sit ups, press ups and stretches.A definite must have for anyone into fitness.
I ordered these yesterday and look forward to reviewing them, I think that the "18kg" weight is a nice sized weight and I can still build muscle off of this weight. Before leaving my last gym I was able to shift 3x12 on 22kg's but i'm expecting to start slow as I want to avoid injuries. From the reviews I read these seem like a good buy and also with an adjustable set of dumbbells there are many exercises I can do at home straight away.
Skipping Rope
This is a amazing piece of kit and overlooked by many, cheap and simple to store. After my runs I pull out the skipping rope from my bag and then do a intensive skipping set and then after use it as a cool down. My skipping ability has improved since I have been doing this and I recommend this to anyone, a cheap and very useful item.
Other items I'm looking at getting are some Stretch Cords and also some fitness "Rings" to aid with my pull up circuits and hanging leg raises.
