If you could have only one piece of exercise equipment/machine what would it be?
Hey Shawn! That is one hard question to answer. I’ve decided upon one piece of equipment, however, I’d like to give you my rationale on why I chose this piece of equipment. My top three are:
1. A 15 pound kettle bell
2. The TRX suspension trainer
3. Kangoo Jumps.
My final answer is Kangoo Jumps. If you don’t know what they are visit www.kangoojumps.com and if you should decide to purchase a pair please mention my name.
As much as I love the TRX trainer and Kettlebells the workouts are primarily core and functional and there are thousands of activities that I can engage in that mimic the many movements one performs with either pieces of the above-mentioned equipment.
Kangoo Jumps on the other hand allow me to engage in high-intensity low-impact aerobic and anaerobic activity. My reality is that my body doesn’t respond to exercise in the same manner as it did 20 years ago. This means I can engage in explosive aerobic and anaerobic activity without the impact on my body.
Thanks for your question.
