The Jungle Gym



There has been a few post lately on other very well respected blogs, talking about the TRX suspension Trainer and the Bandit Loops. Both pieces of equipment are great and get the job done but for your money the "Jungle Gym 2" is your best Bet!

The Jungle Gym 2 in my mind can do everything the TRX can and more (because of it's versatility.) The Monkey Bar Gym has video demonstrations of all their exercise equipment. Check them out here.

Here is a Jungle Gym 2 workout for you to try.

For Time:

Perform 10,9.8... down to 1 of the following

A1- Jungle Gym 2 Atomic Push-ups
A2- Jungle Gym 2 Body Weight Rows

Then perform the following of 10,9,8...1
Right Leg then Left Leg of Jungle Gym 2 Pistols

For Your viewing pleasure watch the "Coach" Steve Maxwell Demonstrate Jungle Gym 2 exercisies.
