Equipment Substitution Question

What can be used as a substitute for the equipment used in exercises like SL/PE3 and all the integrated mobility exercises in the sPL series (except the first one)? I have no vault or pommel horse.

Thanks,

Dean

I just hang off the end of my sofa.

 

I pile up sofa cushions near the end so I can lie across them, put a kettlebell in front of me to hold on to, and it works just fine!

That sounds good for the mobility stuff but what about curls like SL/PE3? How do you lock your feet or do you always need someone to hold them?

- You could use a back extension bench, a couch, a stool, a chair etc.  Whatever.  Just something that allows you to secure your ankles behind you and achieve full ROM.

 

- Long ago, I performed mine lying across a kitchen stool with a kitchen cabinet door open and my feet anchored under one of the shelves.

 

- Many of you are overthinking this.  Just find something, anything that is managable and get the work done!

Thanks Coach -- good advice. I'm just seeing where my starting point is with everything, but I'm so excited about this program. It is so helpful to have a detailed paint-by-numbers program to follow. Before this, I was starting to feel like I'd never achieve such gymnastic skills. Now, at 47, I cant wait to get going and surprise people with my progress. Thanks for creating this!

Thank you for the kind words and you are most welcome!
