What kind of equipment will I need? I used my sofas/chairs/tables (just did very first workout today), and i noticed that maybe getting a set of TRX rings might be useful. Any suggestions for any other equipment I will need throughout the rest of the course?
Otherwise I'll go ahead and look at every exercise in the program and take a look
Thanks!
I hope you mean gymnastic rings, not a trx.
You definitely need rings, stall bars and parallel bars (or creative substitutes) for F2 work, along with what's in F1.
There are really only three essentials for the Foundation course:
1. A pair of rings. TRX is nothing more attempt to sell rings at higher price. There is literally no good reason to choose TRX over plain old rings. A good pair of exercise rings will cost you on the order of $30-$80. TRX starts at about $150.
2. You're going to need a set of stall bars, or a similar aparatus.
3. You're going to need a set of bars you can do dips on.
Pretty much everything else can be improvised in one way or another. Outside of the essentials, there are a couple things that you're likely to use quite a lot, where dedicated equipment is nice to have:
- a furniture slider (used for planche leans and hamstring work)
- a set of adjustable dumbells (used frequently for mobility work)
- a yoga mat, if you don't have a soft surface for the ground work
