I just purchased foundation one and will be doing this at my home.  Where can I find a summary of the equipment that I need?

Pauline Taube

Hi Kevin :)

To start Foundation One you will need floor space, rings and a light dumbbell.

+ a yoga mat, if your floor is hard.

Alexander Ghabril

Also a 1" dowel is really helpful for some of the mobility exercises.

Thanks everyone!

@Pauline Taube, is there any suggested alternative for the rings exercises required during the first several weeks of Foundation 1?  I live in Kijabe, Kenya and a buddy of mine (Tony Chen) and I have just started Foundation 1 on Monday...we don't have rings, but are hoping to pick up in January when one of us returns to the States.  

Also, any suggestion as to which rings to purchase?  We've both signed up individually for Foundation 1 and the Stretch series, and it has so far been profoundly humbling :)

Many thanks!

Hi Andrew, you can use TRX or something similar like a rope with 2 somple handles.

Hey Jenn,

Most students hang them from things like doorway pull-up bars, playground equipment, decks, etc.
