More and more people want to buy sports equipment in order to equip their own gym, training area or garage gym. This allows them to better organise themselves in their daily lives, save time, money, and reduce their travel.
If you are one of those people, this article will interest you. We are going to see what are the 5 essential materials for your training space.
1. The Sandbag
The Sandbag is, as its name suggests, a bag of sand. Not to be confused with a Powerbag. The Sandbag allows you to have the same sensations as a weightlifting bar, more economical and above all, less bulky. The Powerbag, on the other hand, looks like a punching bag with handles and straps. It is a product that is generally not very expensive but which does not at all offer the same advantages and sensations as the Sandbag.
2. The Weighted Vest
The weighted vest is a material that allows you to add body weight during your functional training, thus making them more difficult. This will further develop your cardio, and also work with more intensity all of your muscles.
Wearing a vest allows you to perform your exercises while keeping your hands free to do gymnastic exercises: pull-ups, rings, etc. This will also allow you to do exercises that belts with weights attached to them do not allow you to do, such as squats, push-ups or sheathing.
3. Gym Rings
Gymnastic rings allow you to perform a large number of movements such as pull-ups, pull-ups, muscle-ups or even dips. They are perfect for working on your muscle building. They can be fixed indoors or outdoors: indoors on a beam for example in your training area and outdoors on a solid tree branch or two horizontal posts.

The Strongbag is, like the Sandbag, a bag filled with sand but without a handle. This is the equipment you need for your functional training, perfectly suited to working on your strength. It can also adapt to smaller sizes thanks to its different sizes and possible loads.
5. The Battle Rope
The battle rope will make you develop your endurance, your muscle strengthening and especially your cardio. This makes it a versatile sports equipment.
In addition, it has different thicknesses and lengths, which allows it to be adapted to all levels.
