Every week I deal with quite a number of clients that want to be able to train from home or are looking for equipment that will provide for a better gym workout.
I would consider a kettlebell, a foam roller, a lacrosse ball, a good mat and a band essential workout equipement. I have covered why these are important training tools and how you are going to massively benefit from using them here -
Kettlebells – the perfect workout tool
The three most important prehab/rehab tools you must own
Your program sucks and here’s why
In this blog post I am focusing on the latter piece that I mentioned – the band. I recommend the Iron woody bands as they take a massive amount of abuse, they are not flimsy and light and are perfect for home or to make your workouts portable. I did this video to highlight just some of the movements you can use it for.
So many people are quick to buy useless pieces of equipment that come with inflated promises and can be very expensive yet it is always the simple tools that produce lasting results.
Take the ab circle pro video below. The secret here is get a woman that looks fab, wears hot short-shorts, has big boobs, recently lost weight, relatively well know and attribute all that to a €100+ machine. Bands are NOT sexy but jasus maybe I just need to sell out and get myself a bogus piece of equipment I can flog and convince people they too can look just like me for just €99.99!!
I like this version -
I have the bands available in two resistance levels so mail or call me if you want me to hold on to a pair for you to pick up.
