Junk in the Trunk

I am slowly building a portable gym.   Not by design.  I’m just kind of lazy about cleaning out my car.  Tonight it’s supposed to snow, but last time it was warm (in February!) I decided to take inventory of all the exercise equipment in my car.

is this what I need to be a better athlete?

The Inventory

• One vertical jump tester (some assembly required)
• a found barbell
• one recovered gymnastics I thought might be fun for layout practice
• one aerobic step (overpriced and kinda useless)
• two medicine balls
• a yoga mat
• sneakers
• cones
• a lifting belt
• cleats
• discs
• and uh… roller skates.

So how much fitness equipment does an ultimate player really need?

This is all you need for training.  Never let a lack of fancy toys stand in your way.  With less equipment you may have to think a little harder.  But you don’t need parachutes, ladders, TRXs, futuristic footware, or expensive laser timers to make yourself into a better athlete.

You do need preparation, a plan, and some discipline.

When it’s warm again, these cones will become my most used tool for agility training.  Stay tuned…
