ULTIMATE HOME GYM:5 Best Buys For Your Everyday Workout.
CrossFit is a combination of aerobic exercise, bodyweight-based exercise & weightlifting that involve a variety of functional movements and having the proper equipment to use is highly important for you to be able to execute them. CrossFitters around the world need the best & most suitable equipment that matches their level of expertise while at the same time, still leave room for some challenge.
Luckily, I have partnered with LiftDex, one of the leading gym equipment brands in the UAE region, to provide the best gym equipment there is whether at the comfort of your own home or at the gym.
To guide & help you, I have made a list of LiftDex equipment that you can use for your everyday workout. Here it is:
Plyo Boxes are great & excellent, especially when it’s your goal to build your strength. However, CrossFitters end up scraping their skins with these boxes made of either metal or wood.
Thankfully, LiftDex offers a smarter & safer design – one made of FOAM. Since it’s made of durable, high-density foam & has a non-slip surface, it is less likely for you to scrape your skin. It’s also sturdy enough for you to safely jump on.
#2 Barbell
What is a CrossFitter without a Barbell?
The LiftDex Weight Rubber Plates are the perfect solution for those CrossFitters who are looking for a high-quality plate at affordable rates.
Each plate is 450 MM in diameter, each utilizing a stainless-steel insert and fit standard 50 MM diameter bar sleeves. The plates are also made from dense virgin rubber, which means the thickness of the bumper plate is reduced. Therefore, more weight can be loaded onto a bar, which is quite useful when doing squats and deadlifts.
#3 Kettlebell
Kettlebells are a must have for every CrossFitter. It’s almost impossible to be one without it! Kettlebells are great in enhancing your position & grip for heavier weights.
Also, the best thing about kettlebells is that your options are not limited to one or two. You can either use them for more controlled movements like upright rows or more intense movements such as hip swings.
#4 Rack or Rig
Ultimate equipment to complete your home gym is to get a squat rack, and pull up bar combined so you can do all your heavy squats and crossfit gymnastics movements from home.
LiftDex has a few different options in stock and provide you with costume made racks as well. I have a wall mounted rig from them, single section so I can swing and lift without any worries of it moving. But they also offer freestanding options if you do not have the wallspace or option to drill it into the wall. Not to forget the FOLDING squat racks that move out of the way while you are not using it to maximize your space.
Pro tips when selecting your rack is to evaluate what clearance you need both from the wall and the ceiling if you wish to do higher level gymnastics like bar muscle up with a significant kip. They come in different dimensions and you need about 100-120 cm from the wall & ceiling to be able to perform those movements.
#5 Flex Bike
When it comes to aerobic exercises, which are a major part of CrossFit, you can never go wrong with the effectiveness & efficiency of an air bike and in LiftDex, they call it a ‘Flex Bike’.
This Flex Bike engages your entire body, elevating your heart rate & keeping your blood pumping as you continuously move throughout your workout. It’s a high quality cardio tool that CrossFitters, whether a beginner or an expert, can find quite useful.
