On this rest day I started packing for our Thanksgiving trip after a nice, slow, chilly 5-mile run in the park. After 18 months of CF travel, I have my workout accessories pre-packed. All I need are my sneakers and workout clothes and I can do a WOD anywhere. Certain things are crucial regardless of available boxes or gyms:
- Stopwatch with countdown function and vibrating alarms.
I prefer vibrating alarms so I can listen to my iPod during workouts. It also doubles as a family friendly alarm clock. Noone is bothered by the vibrating alarm. - Speed rope
I carry both Rogue and a generic quad speed. - Interval Timers
Gymboss Max is probably the best interval timer ever made. It can handle the more complex workouts ranging from Tabatas to Fight Gone Bad or you name it.
I also carry a mini magnetic wall timer to hang in the gyms. - Healing Gear
I bring a lacrosse ball to perform self maintenance on misbehaving body parts.
Also Rock Tape for aching or injured muscles and compression clothing for better recovery. CF gloves are also with me hoping for less wear and tear on my hands…
I also prefer Powerflex to the regular athletic tapes. They stretch and provide great compression for wrist pain or for olympic lifts and gymnastics. - Endurance Gear
As a CF Endurance disciple, I carry a metronome for those magical 95 cadence runs..
I also love SpiBelts to stash away valuables on a run or in an outside WOD.
They are tight to the body and don’t bother you during the workout. - Hopper Deck
If I ever run out of ideas for a WOD, I can just take a card. Any card…
