ActiveX Training

Previous Next
18


All — would you be interested in purchasing a few things to accentuate our training? Not having access to weights is really going to hurt us going forward, so I thought I’d run it by you. Here is what I am thinking...

Women: 2 x 8-12 lbs dumbells, 1 25 lb dumbell
Guys: 2 x 15-25 lb dumbells , 1 35-45lb dumbell

All: cheap yoga mat, jump rope

A great place to get this stuff, especially the weights, is off Craigs List. CHEAP. Also, Play It Again Sports has used stuff. Now, the caveat to this is EVERYONE would need to get it, so when we’re training, we can all do the workout.

With the weights, we can do:
Thrusters
Push Press
Dumbell Swings
Rows
Weighted Cartwheels
etc.


Thanks!

Sounds like a plan. I would hate for this to deter anyone from continuing workouts though.

And that idea of getting a shed or container to keep our stuff in would be nice.

Count me in as well, Arch. I have a few jump ropes and can defintiely spare a few bucks for kettebells or dumbbells. Considering your time and investment in providing this for us gratis, I consider it a worthy investment.

I'm all for it. Although with your new-found clout, perhaps you should get Active to sponsor us!

I'm in.
Question: Are we supposed to get it ourselves or are we going to all put money into a pot and just have someone buy the equipment?

What about getting individual medicine balls instead? It might eliminate some of the exercises we do (Turkish getups), but add a few more possibilities...especially with partners.

Plus, it might be easier to carry around and leave at our desk. Just a thought (I have one a day).

Jump rope is so fun! Count me in.

The only thing that would be hard is having to carry the weights out every time. Maybe we can keep all of it in your car Arch? HeHeHe :) J/K

Consider it an extension to the workout!

ActiveX is functional movement, strength and top-end cardio training. I wanted people to workout with, and to truly make Active, active. It's motivating, it's bonding, it's good for us, and, it's fun.
