Buying Crosstraining Materials? Here's What You Should Look Out For

If you want to get started with your own crosstraining materials, it's important that you choose the right products. After all, you don't want to be held back by your gear. You want to get the most out of your workout! To help you make a decision, we've listed a few things for you.

Crosstraining Essentials

As we see it, crosstraining materials can be divided into crosstraining essentials, weights, and hardware. The essentials are things you really shouldn't be without in your sports bag. These include crosstraining grips, speed rope, and lacrosse ball. The first two are absolutely essential. Especially for doing double unders, it's good to bring your own rope that spins smoothly. You won't have to rely on the plastic jump ropes available in your crosstraining box. Your own rope is always the right length and you'll really get used to using your own speed rope. Doing double unders is tricky enough, so make it easy on yourself! You definitely don't want blisters while in the middle of a workout. Make sure you have a set of grips in your bag. When choosing crosstraining grips, make sure you choose the right size. Nothing is as annoying as grips that are too small, so when in doubt, always go for the larger size.

Setting up a Crosstraining Box

When setting up a crosstraining box, you probably feel overwhelmed by the huge variety of crosstraining materials available! Luckily, the offering can be divided between products that you really need and products that are just really cool to have. The materials that are indispensable in every box are:
    • Plyo box
    • Barbells + bumper plates
    • Dumbbells
    • A good squat rack with pull up bar
    • Wall balls
If you have these items in your box, and supplement them with a good rowing machine, you've pretty much covered 90% of all workouts. With some creativity, you can go a long way with the above products. If you want to add an extra dimension to your training, you could consider a weight vest or a dog sled.
