Don’t need that. 
[quote author=“Gabrielle”]haven’t bought any equipment.
Will need that . . . :D
[quote author=“Gabrielle”]If anyone has valuable suggestions please tell me. I’d would like a quality treadmill, and a lifting bar with bumper plates, pull up bar, plyo box ?, rope?
There are a lot of suggestions as to things you could use to set up a great garage gym on the mainsite, as well as here . . . I’m gonna let Metric do the cut and paste.
And this is my opinion, but If you were going to get a quality treadmill, I’d actually get a C2 rower instead . . . .
Here’s my thinking: If its even reasonably nice outside (and I have trained in about every kind of crap weather: thunderstorms, rain, 10 degree weather . . . ), you can run your 400’s/800s/5ks/10ks outside.
But rowing is a fine sub for running on those other days when you just don’t want to get outside, it trains the whole body when you’re doing it right, and frankly, the sub for rowing is often sumo deadlift high pulls. And with SDHPs . . . you can’t go faster, you have to do 1 for every 10 meters . . . so you’re going to do 50 for a 500 meter row.
The sub for running can be rowing. But I find treadmill running both boring (and I like running) and not near the same as real running.
Anyway, that’s my $.02 . . .
