The Best Crossfit Equipment For Home

By Tamika Powell


Probably one of the biggest trends in the world of fitness is the cross fit training which started sometime in 2000. To give readers an idea, it is a series of short exercises that are heavy in intensity and takes a lot of energy and stamina to do. One may actually do this routine in his own house provided that he has some of the basic crossfit equipment for home.

So in a nutshell, this is an exercise routine that is made out of smaller routines that last for a short while. The maximum duration of the routines would be twenty minutes or less. The workouts vary from weightlifting to cardio exercises and many more. Every week, one will have seven different sets of exercises that he will do every day of the week.

The weightlifting bar would definitely be on the top of the list because it is probably the most basic tool that was ever invented for any hardcore or intense exercise. One may buy any kind of bar provided that it is very sturdy and can be used for extremely fast movements. He definitely has to make sure that he will buy a bar that is not bendable.

Pull ups is definitely one of the best ways to gain upper body strength in a short span of time. That is why it is always good for one to have a pull up system. If he finds a pull system way too expensive, then he may just attach a few pipes together and some metal rods to build it up.

Added to the list of equipment would of course be the squat stand which is a stand that one holds on to when doing squats. Although it may sound unbelievable, this little stand will help eliminate cramps that a person can usually get while he is doing squats. This will in turn help his legs not to become tired at all from all the exercise he does.

A kettle bell is also very useful because it acts like a dumbbell but is actually more effective. What people do with it is that they lift it up and down so that they can strengthen all areas of the body with a lot of emphasis to the upper body. Basically, it is used for building arm, shoulder, and chest muscles.

The medicine ball is definitely a must in the list. For those who do not know, it is a very heavy ball that was used originally in sports medicine for those who are undergoing therapy after an injury. Nowadays, athletes use these balls so that they can gain a lot of intensity and strength that will allow them to perform at their utmost potential.

So this is a small list of some of the most widely used crossfit equipment for home that one may use. With these basic tools, it is possible for one to start his training. The only thing that he should watch out for is that his body should never be pushed too far over the limit otherwise he will not be able to take it.
