Upper body foundation uses rings

Hi,

I recently started the upper body foundation class.  The row exercise requires rings.  I don't have access to rings and often work out at home.  What can I substitute?

thanks,

Semyon

Hey Semyon,

Whilst it is possible to find alternatives to rings for rowing exercises why would you bother? A set of rings is so inexpensive to buy these days and they are part of the required equipment for your Foundation training. 

You will spend a lot of your time and effort trying to find substitutes for them which will not provide the same effect the easiest solution is to purchase yourself a set.

As a stopgap I have used my bjj belt for these before, but rings are most versatile

Hi Semyon,

I've tried some substitutes, and in a pinch they're okay, but I've been working on F1 for almost three months now and nothing quite compares to using actual rings.

There was a discount code that goes with having purchased any of the GB lessons that could get them at a very good price. Just don't ask me where on this website, because I'm not very good at navigating it yet!

(Maybe someone else can post the page/discount code?)

Thanks everyone!  I did not realize rings were so easy to get and install.  I already have a pull-up bar and can hang some rings from it.
