If you are thinking about beginning your own Crossfit certified facility or simply have a Crossfit fitness centre at home, you will need to have the right equipment.
(firmenpresse) - The good news is that Crossfit equipment is generally less expensive and simpler to use, than normal fitness equipment. This is because Crossfit workouts entail functional movements that we regularly do, thus the need to keep the equipment simple. In fact, when stepping into a Crossfit gym, you will not be faulted for thinking you were in your son's elementary school gymnasium.
In order to do your three main workouts of the day -pushups, pull-ups and squats - you will require a good cushioned mat. A mat will also come in handy when you want to do your high impact jumping and plyometric activities. You will also need some pull up bars and a chalk bucket to soothe your bleeding hands. To do your squats, you will require a big medicine ball to monitor how low you go for your squat. Medicine balls are also ideal for your Crossfit wall ball exercises.
When selecting your Crossfit equipment, you will also need to add kettlebells to your list. Kettlebells are similar to dumbbells except that they enable you to perform more unique exercises. For an effective Crossfit workout, be sure to also purchase some small medicine balls to help you along in your abdominal workouts. For your climbing exercises, you will require a rope that will hang from the ceiling. Other useful equipment to include in your selection is a jump rope, plyometrics and box jumps. Some of the heavier equipment that you will require includes squat racks with Olympic barbells to do your push press and heavy squats, along with plates that vary in weight. For your back extensions, you may select a good static back rack.
