2009 Fitness Christmas Home Workout Shopping Guide
Well now that good old Thanksgiving is done and over it’s now officially the time for Christmas. I wanted to make a quick guide giving you some of the best stuff the fitness industry has to offer.
Everything I’m recommending in this post is because I believe in it and I personally use it for myself and for my clients.
Also everything here can be used in your own home for a kick ass home workout.
And with that here is my 2009 fitness Christmas shopping guide!
TRX Suspension Trainer. This is my most favorite piece of exercise equipment because you can literally take it anywhere and get a fantastic total body fat burning workout with it. I use it with every one of my clients and they all love it. If I could only own one piece of fitness equipment it would be this hands down.
Valslide. The Valslide is another very versatile piece of fitness equipment because it can be used in an unlimited number of planes. You can do alternating push-ups with it, lunges, leg curls, etc. You’ll also be recruiting more muscles per exercise and therefore burning more fat and building more muscle.
SuperBands. SuperBands will give you the best bang for your buck. They are super cheap and you can do a ginormous number of exercise with them. You can do a lot of crazy partner drills and the SuperBand is the only piece of equipment that can vary its resistance so your muscles will be working differently then with any dumbbell.
Kettlebell. Awwhhh the Russian response to the dumbbell. The Kettlebell can be used for so many compound exercises than it’s crazy. You can burn more fat doing exercises with these babies and can get your heart pumping a mile a minute. Forget the treadmill, try a Kettlebell.
Foam Roller. The cheapest way to get all the knots and kinks out of your body. Trading a measley $25 for a quality foam roller can do wonders for your body and your recovery program. I integrate foam rolling into my own and my clients warm-ups for injury prevention and overall muscle and strength gains. If your body has density issues it’s going to hinder your performance, use a foam roller and your life could change, mine did.
PowerBlocks. Adjustable up to 50 lbs. these dumbbells are great for a home workout and is a much wiser solution than buying 2-dozen pairs of dumbbells.
That’s it! Get your Christmas shopping done early so you can enjoy your holidays and get your workout on!

TRX is a great piece of equipment. A less expensive alternative that works in the same format is the Jungle Gym by Lifeline.
I personally use the USA (Universal Strength Apparatus) from bodyweightculture.com. It’s a basic stability ladder that you don’t have to adjust for each exercise. You just move your hands/feet to a different rung.
Thanks for all the great info!
