I don’t think there are many people over the age of 30 who haven’t purchased at least one piece of home workout equipment in their life. I’m not referring to workout DVD’s but the actual equipment, the fitness tools that promise major results. So often we let our impulses direct these purchases and they end up gathering dust in a corner of our homes somewhere. Learning to analyze the equipment purchase before you buy it is crucial in buying the right gear and minimizing needless expenses.

The main thing to remember when deciding on home workout equipment is that the equipment won’t do the work for you. Be wary of fitness gear that claims you can get major rewards with “little or no effort”. These are gimmicks.

The best results come from you, not some tool. Enhanced results come from high quality equipment that helps you put forth the most productive effort.

You don’t need to spend an arm and a leg on good home workout equipment. Fitness equipment that helps you make the most productive workouts isn’t always the highest technology. Something as simple as a high quality pull up bar can give you great results without fancy features and a big price tag. Unless you are planning on starting a neighborhood gym, keeping your home workout equipment simple is typically the best route.

Choose your workout equipment wisely and never purchase on impulse. If you see an infomercial or advertisement and are tempted, give yourself 24 hours to think it over. Often this day will give you a chance to really see what the product is: a basic product paired with clever marketing. Research the equipment before you purchase it and keep it simple.

When considering what home workout equipment is appropriate for your fitness goals, think simple and think effective. Take a look at the fitness accessories we have here for some good examples of high quality goods at a reasonable price.

If you’ve already started the P90X series, you know what I mean when I talk about “bringing it”. If you haven’t, Tony Horton encourages participators to “bring it” in each P90X workout. This just means he wants you to put your all into every move, and every rep. Do your workout with enthusiasm and determination. If you can increase how challenging the workout is with a P90X chin up bar, then you are definitely “bringing it”.

P90X chin up bars are an excellent way to increase the resistance on several of the P90X DVDs. Although the P90X chin up bar isn’t required, it’s a superb way to multiply your results while doing the P90X program. As you lift your own body weight off the ground, you are challenging your arms, shoulders, back, and core.

Our P90X chin up bar is a simple install and easily removable when not in use. It mounts into nearly any door frame (24-32″). Once mounted, you can hang and remove in seconds, making it an extremely convenient addition to your workout.
