4 Inch Foam Yoga Block (4" x 6" x 9")

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Yoga blocks are not just for Yoga fiends anymore. These are indispensible training tools. Extend deeper into a pushup, work a v-sit or planche with a less stable base, or do your daily stretching, yoga blocks can help with all of these.

Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Mounted GPS Navigator

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

It's the best runners watch I've found yet. Tracks your distance precisely with GPS, and also knows your speed constantly during your run. The heart monitor is better than most because it has a small watch battery as power source. Less interference with other radio devices etc. If all that isn't enough, the watch plugs into your computer via USB, to sync a ton of data about each workout. Looking at all of this later reveals a lot, and the Garmin Training Center software is very good. (via Noorindah Iskandar)

Ab Wheel

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

This is a simple, no nonsense piece of training equipment that everyone can afford, and find space for. What's more with regular use, it *will* give you the abs of steel you're looking for. I also find it a safe, and injury free way to work the abs.

Want to integrate pullups into your everyday routine. Here's an easy way to do it. You're not always at the gym, or the park where you can do pullups, and this doorgym can install in most any doorway. You can also use it for pushups, and as makeshift parallettes if you don't have those.

CamelBak Blowfish 100 oz. Hydration Pack

First to recommend

Description

Camelbak is a recent addition to my training regimen. Why do I like it? For one it keeps you hydrated, and that keeps your energy level up. For two you can load it with small weights to give you a makeshift weight vest. Three you can carry stuff like a jumprope, or whatever else you might want to train with. And four, it makes all the bodyweight exercises I do that much more challenging. 10x 5sets of pullups? Add 10 pounds and you'll see the difference. Clapping, fingertip, and one-arm pushups with a 10lb pack are very challenging.

Lifeline Weighted Speed Rope

First to recommend

Description

Weighted jump ropes are a great full body workout. Work the ankles and legs without a lot of pounding on the heels, get a sprint workout without needing much space. Jump roping can be worked forward or backward, for 30 seconds, or 5 minutes. Throw in crossed arms, or swing the rope around twice in one jump for extra challenge.

Valeo Burst Resistant Body Ball (65 cm)

2 people recommended this item

Description

Are you saying you don't have a body ball at home yet? Why? There's really no excuse. Even if you don't exercise, it's perfect for stretching. It's also good for those quickie exercises for your abs and back.

No, it won't burst. Yes, you can jump on it. Yes, you can throw a cat on it, and no, it still won't burst.
