If you train at home, you must have a pull up bar! Here is a simple and durable pull up bar. It takes less than a second to place it on the door and start using it and the same amount to disassemble.

 

 

 

 

2. Wooden Gymnastic Rings: $64

If you already have a pull up bar or tree branch in the back yard, you should definitely own a set of wooden gymnastic rings.  It will take your push ups, dips, chin ups, muscle ups, front and back levers and various hangs to the next level.  This is a must have tool for bodyweight training.

3. Super Bands: $25

Super bands are awesome! At Train P3 we use them for assisting or resisting exercises. We integrate them in warm ups, pulling exercises, adding resistance to push ups, assisting pull ups, over head squats and so much more.  We use 1/4″, 1/2″, 1″ and 1 1/8″ bands in our outdoor park workouts and I personally bring the 1/2” and 1” bands when I travel.  They come in various colors.

 

4. Buddy Lee’s Jump Rope: $45

Another excellent tool to add to a travel bag or a fitness toolbox is a quality jump rope.  Some of our favorite reasons to jump rope are to challenge mental concentration and patience, strengthening ankles and knees, increasing agility and teaching body awareness and control. Buddy Lee’s jump rope is the best one out there. He has a few different types and they are all excellent. The cheaper ones are just as good, but this one has smaller and lighter handles and is easier to travel with.

 

 

5. Trigger Point Foam Roller: $23 to $61

Soft tissue work is essential for longevity of any athlete. We could all benefit from weekly massages, but not all of us have that luxury. The next best thing is using foam roller and different size balls to work out the knots.  You should also get lacrosse balls, tennis balls and a few golf balls.  Find a cool sack so its easy to bring them everywhere.

 

 

6. How to Eat Move and Be Healthy: $21

This is one of the best books for overall health. Paul Chek is a holistic practitioner who teaches how to take care of oneself and lead a healthy and happy life. You will learn which part of your life you are deficient in and you get the tools to become more balanced. Not only will you learn how to move better and meditate, but also how to eat for your metabolic type and even what your waste should look like… Everyone should have a copy of this book.
