Chin Up Bar Versus Resistance Bands


imagesA lot of people have questions concerning the accessories that go with Tony Horton’s P90X.  Especially when deciding between using the chin up bar or getting the resistance bands with the upgrade kit so you can do the modified versions of chin ups and pull ups.  How do you decide whats going to work best for you chin up bar or resistance bands with the upgrade kit?

Well, here are some things to think about when making your decisions.  First, you want to make sure that you have a door frame for either of these options somewhere close to where you are planning on doing your workouts.  Now the chin up bar fits  doorways 24″ – 32″ wide, and a doorway with trim is required.  Whereas with the resistance bands and upgrade kit you also need a doorway but you need the metal hinges that hook the door to the frame, not the trim.  By hooking the door attachment included with the upgrade kit, around the metal hinge, it allows you to do all the modifed versions of what you would do with the chin up bar with the resistance bands.

Now those are the technical differences to help you make your decision.  Along with that take into account whether you want to get out of your workouts physically.  They are both going to give you a challenge and work your muscle tissue, but you have more control over how much resistance you have if you use the resistance bands unlike the chin up bar where you are picking up your entire weight or modifying things by standing on a chair.  They are both great products it really just depends on what you are looking for.  If you have any questions regarding the P90X accessories check out  www.ExtremeBodyWorkout.com.

Home Fitness and Exercise Equipment Not Required


j0422190One of the beauties of working out at home is that you don’t need a room full of equipment to make it effective. Home fitness and exercise equipment don’t have to go hand in hand. Sure there are programs out there that require equipment and those that strongly recommend it. We have a few systems here that simply work better with resistance bands or a chin up bar. This doesn’t necessarily mean they are “required”.

 

Home fitness and exercise equipment can act independently. It’s obvious you don’t need a complete weight set or a home gym to get fit at home. Part of the reason why you chose to do your workouts here is to simplify; the last thing you need is big equipment requirements.

 

When working out at home, a few well chosen pieces of equipment are all you need. In a pinch, you can often find things around the house to serve the same purposes. Water bottles or milk jugs filled with sand become great hand weights and chairs are a great place to get dips done. Be creative and you will see that home fitness and exercise equipment can really be managed together with little cost or effort.

 

Now, if you aren’t completely opposed to owning some high quality equipment, you can really make a big difference in your workouts with a small number of items. Resistance bands and a good chin up bar are probably the best small home gym equipment you can invest in. These two items can be used in many home workout programs and the resistance bands can even go with you on the road.

 

It doesn’t take a weight tower or elliptical machine to get fit at home. Superior home fitness systems can get you fit with minimal equipment needs. If you have any questions about the equipment we sell here, just ask!

Required P90X Equipment


p90x-special-package-iPeople just getting started on the P90X program often want to know what the required equipment is. They want to be prepared and have all of the necessary tools to get the best results. While there are many choices of optional equipment for the program, nothing is truly required aside from your body, the P90X DVDs and the dedication it takes to achieve any big goal. Now, having said that, among the P90X equipment that we offer here at ExtremeBody Workout, there are some tools that we think are good to have. Required? No. Helpful? Most definitely.

 

Probably the top recommended tool in P90X equipment is a complete set of resistance bands. Unless you have a set of dumbbells at home, a high quality resistance bands is a great way to get all of the strength training moves of P90X in without the storage issues of free weights and without the cost as well.

 

Another top priority when preparing for the P90X program is the Peak Recovery Formula. Designed to give your body the fuel necessary to power through these workouts, the P90X Recovery Formula contains optimal nutrition for refueling as well. Drink one recovery drink after your workouts and you will be replenishing the glycogen stores you just depleted as well as giving your body the protein it needs to repair and build muscle mass.

 

The third priority here is the P90X Chin Up Bar. Sure, you can get a chin up workout with the resistance bands but because a pull up is such a staple in any high quality workout plan, the P90X Chin Up Bar is simply irreplaceable. This Chin Up Bar mounts in nearly all of the door frames within your home. It is easily removed after your workout and can be stowed away in the closet until next time.

 

While this isn‘t all of the P90X equipment, it is some of the most highly recommended. Check out our supply of all of the P90X accessories here at ExtremeBody Workout.
