People got in shape well before there was a gym in every town and P90X came around. This 9 lb Muhammad Ali Collection Medicine Ball by Everlast will help you increase your strength and conditioning in old school fashion. Just like boxers and other athletes have done for years, using a medicine ball will help you get toned and really work your abs and core.
If you’re looking to get back into shape in 2012, give yourself a head start with some weight lifting equipment. Perfect for the home gym owner with limited space, this self contained Bowflex PR3000 home gym will allow you to do up to 50 weight lifting exercises without the need to store dumbbells and plates. As is, it provides from 5 to 210 lbs of resistance, but 100 more can be added for you animals out there.
June is only days away and the shirtless season has begun. Push-ups are an easy way to keep your upper body fit, toned, and looking good. With these P90X premium grade push-up PowerStands will enable you to do a deeper push-up and maximize your workout. Designed by Tony Horton, they are the perfect addition to your home gym for strengthening and sculpting your arms, shoulders, chest, and back.
Summertime is quickly approaching and you’re going to want to look your best. Jumping rope is an excellent cardio workout that you can even do in front of the TV. Alternatives include StairMasters and treadmills which cost thousands of dollars and take up a ton of room. For $12.99 you can get a quality jump rope such as this Everlast Deluxe Speed Rope and get the same results (and it’ll fit in your sock drawer). Jumping rope also increases your agility and reflexes so before you know it you’ll be floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee.
Constantly barraged by fitness ads in magazines and television it’s hard to tell what’s a gimmick or not. While I look nothing like the guy on the commercial when I take my shirt off, I will say that the Perfect Pushup is a great item. Easily thrown in a closet or put under your bed they won’t consume massive amounts of space like most fitness equipment. The rotating handles create added difficulty to the age-old exercise and hit even more muscles in your upper body. Do a few sets a day to relieve stress and tone up.
