I bought more fitness stuff!

Vintage VFer · 02-24-24, 03:17 PM

I recently bought:

Iron Woody 41" bands: I had these years ago for pull-up assistance.

TRX suspension system: I used to have a Jungle Gym XT. That disappeared sometime during the divorce. I love my Bob & Brad wall anchors for bands, but wanted to add suspension training.

I have had a bit of an equipment bender in the past few months. I already bought a doorway pull-up bar for Christmas.

I've workout out at least three times per week since 1980.

Sometimes, I need a change up!

New workout gear is so much fun! I would be helpless on a pullup bar without my woody bands! Or band. I never really progressed past the heaviest one!

I bought a bunch of Cathe gear last year, and it has made her workouts much more enjoyable to be using the same equipment.

I have a 20% off discount for Tavi gripper socks that's burning a hole in my inbox.

And I have my eye on barre3's booty bands, in part because they're the ones the instructors use in the streaming workouts. If I do spring for them, I'll probably toss in the cornflower blue core ball that's on sale, too, because I love matching stuff.

ETA: And maybe a 6 x 4' mat because the one I have is only 3' wide. In a matching color, of course.

I’m looking at a stand for my Aeropilates machine.

Well, I bought it! I have no control.

Ooooh TRX! they are showing up on my feed more and more and love the look of the exercises but I don't think I have the space. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on them.

I too bought Cathe's equipment and very happy I did. All seems to be holding up well.
Heh, one of them being her gripper socks. I think I needed to add something to the basket to get a bigger discount or free ship so I added a couple of pairs. My house has hardwood floors and I prefer walking in bare feet over regular socks so I don't slip. Anyway, nice quality socks. Big feet here and they fit without being tight. and they do their job.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago when it was on sale (as a b’day gift to myself, lol).

I’m probably going to use it with weights only. It’s really hard for me to get in position for thrusts on a bench. And I’ve been doing a lot of Caroline Girvan’s series….she loves including thrusts!

I hope you enjoy your TRX. I bought one in the last couple of years. I don’t use it all the time, but it is really nice to have for variety and I’m glad I have it.
