Anyone who wants to really torture themselves to shed pounds should try Crossfit training. However, this requires the right Crossfit equipment. How Crossfit training works can be downloaded from the Internet, but the newcomer should not go wild right away. An initial training under supervision is recommended, because the work-out varies according to an individual fitness level.
In the USA this work-out is the order of the day, here in Germany it is developing into a new trend sport. Crossfit means nothing other than that the muscles are specifically built up and for this a Crossfit equipment is necessary, which can start with a medicine ball and stop at car tires. Allowed is everything that is good for optimal muscle building.
Useful for the work-out
The medicine ball is mentioned first in many cases as Crossfit equipment. Here the name Dynamax falls first when it comes to good Crossfit equipment. The balls are available in different weights, but for Crossfit Equipment, only a 9 kilo ball is used.
To improve endurance and coordination, a skipping rope is used. Here, when buying a model that has ball bearings should be valued. In some exercises, the rope always rotates twice under the body per jump. Here you should use Crossfit equipment from Rx Jump Ropes, which are also available in different rope strengths. If a certain technique has already been acquired, one should pay attention to a thin rope. The rope length of this Crossfit equipment depends solely on the body size.
Crossfit equipment also includes a barbell bar. If you value quality, you should go for an "Olympik Barbel" bar. It is 2.20 meters long and weighs about 20 kilos. It can also hold solid rubber weight plates very well and even if it falls from a great height, it can't do any harm to it. A snapper and the corresponding discs belong of course to a complete Crossfit equipment absolutely.
What also may not be missing!
What must belong to a reasonable Crossfit equipment are the plyoboxes. In layman's terms, this means sturdy wooden boxes, but so-called jumping cubes are also popular. These are set up according to height, width and depth.
An inexpensive but effective Crossfit equipment are the gymnastic rings, on which sling trainer exercises can be completed. When buying it is essential to make sure that the straps are long enough.
The right clothing must not be missing
A complete Crossfit equipment includes not only the appropriate equipment, but of course also the right clothing, because normal sports clothing often can not keep up with this training. The material chafes too quickly or tears in some places. Crossfit equipment sports pants should have an elastic waistband, because it holds the pants and they stay where they should. Of course, it should also not restrict mobility. When it comes to shoes, you should stick to the models that were actually previously reserved for weightlifters. In the meantime, manufacturers such as, Reebok have adapted to the Crossfit equipment and offer such shoes that specifically meet the requirements. The cost is between 150 and 175 euros, but the footwear should not be stingy. The weightlifting shoe is flexible but fits tightly when it comes down to it, and should not be missing from a Crossfit equipment.
Gloves are also part of it
Of course, a really perfect Crossfit equipment also includes suitable gloves. It not only protects against torn hands, but also against abrasions and calluses. A Crossfit Equipment glove must be robust and yet breathable, because otherwise it can lead to unpleasant odors.
