Urban Exercise Equipment - Rails - Parkour Training and Conditioning

Exercise equipment is not limited to your local gym or recreation center. It can be found anywhere and at any time. However, to see the equipment that is all around you, you must change the way you view your environment. As a traceur, you already have a head start on gaining this perspective; you see obstacles as opportunities for movement. A natural variation of this perspective is to also see obstacles as exercise equipment. An every day, common rail, bench, tree, or wall can all be turned into an incredibly versatile piece of exercise equipment. In this edition of Urban Exercise Equipment, we will explore the exercise possibilities of a basic rail. The number of different exercises you can do with a basic rail is huge. Imagine you are standing in front of a basic rail with one horizontal bar on top and the occasional vertical bar securing it to the ground. Let me take you through my thought process when I am thinking about the exercise potential of this piece of equipment. This rail is about three feet tall. I can train my legs by jumping onto it or over it. I can train my upper body with the rail through many different pulling and pushing movements. I can develop basic flexibility and coordination by crawling or ducking underneath the rail. I could even do all sorts of quadrupedal movement variations weaving under and through the rails.

Question by : How much would this weight equipment cost all together?
Hey all, bare with me, i am very new to weight training.

I can't seem to find a steady price.

Could you give me a estimate on the following equipment

-Bench press (nothing fancy, like this http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Art… )

- A long bar plus weights (for the bench)

-Chin up bar (again, nothing fancy)

-punching bag (70lbs)



Thanks!


Best answer:
that can get expensive. why not check craigslist in your area like i did. I bought some of the same items. I got an olympic style bench ( wide stance ) with 7ft. olympic bar and 180lbs worth of steel weights for $ 120 all together. I'm going tomorrow to pick up a 80lb punching bag and stand for $ 70. so if i were you i would check craigslist first.
