When Christmas comes you get a great excuse to ask for some new fitness equipment. Here are some things I feel are a must have for Christmas in 2007.
Classic and New Fitness Equipment for Christmas
Here are some things that are both old and new that might tickle your fancy this Christmas.
1. An Everlast Heavy Boxing Bag
Boxing is one of the best ways to get fit and when it comes to boxing Everlast are the best. They have been around for ages and are known for developing only quality gear. I have scores of Everlast gear in my house; boxing bag, gloves, jumpers, t shirts, etc. so I can vouch for them saying it is a truly high quality brand.
The other great thing about Everlast is that it has a cool feel to it, when you own Everlast you feel like a real boxer!
This boxing bag is one of the better on the market. It is truly heavy and has very thick covering. Perfect for boxing, karate, kickboxing or whatever strikes you need to work on.

2. A Speed Jump Rope
The speed rope should be a constant tool of any martial artist, sportsperson or bodybuilder. It is a great tool for burning calories and getting fit.
I used to think that the old leather jump ropes were the best but I have now changed my mind. These speed ropes are much more effective for developing some real fitness. The reason for this is that they are fast. They spin a lot faster on a ballbearing joint and as such you need to go harder and faster yourself. If you really want to take yout skipping to the next level by doing double unders and sprinting then you need a good quality speed rope.

3. Bowflex Xtreme Home Gym
If you are setting up a home gym and have been buying a piece of equipement here and a piece of a equipment there then you need to stop and seriously consider the new Bowflex home gym. This machine is supremely built and allows you to perform over 65 exercises all on the one station.
Bowflex have been building these power home gyms for years and they have it down to a fine art. The pulleys are smooth to use and very easy to set up and change. You can be doing lat pull downs one second, flick a switch and be doing cable curls on the same pulley. It really is the best. One of the best things about this machine, however, is it allows you to go heavy. You can add up to 186 kilograms for the cable lifts.

Have a Merry Christmas and stay safe and healthy over this holiday season.
