Awesome Gym

We’ve seen some unusual form at the gym, but this guy takes his workouts to a whole different level. We watched in both shock and awe as this powerful athlete turned himself into some kind of jumping spider while doing high-energy push-ups. We want to see the rest of his routine now.

If you’re going to commit crimes, you probably should be in pretty good shape. This silly video from Vlog Creations imagines how burglars, purse-snatchers, bank robbers, and other thieves might get their reps in at the gym. The staircase sneak was our favorite exercise.

This all-in-one workout set lets you do lots of different exercises using a combination of bands and your own body’s weight to produce resistance. It includes the VectorFit platform, a collapsible bar, handles, wrist straps, a door anchor, and four bands. Save 45% off the MSRP in The Awesomer Shop.

Most workout backpacks are just for your gym clothes, but the Pakama IS the gym. This large, water-resistant rolltop bag comes pre-loaded with 10 pieces of portable fitness gear so you can work out anywhere. A companion smartphone app offers up 500+ exercises.

Without the proper bag to carry your gear, it’s tough to incorporate the gym into your daily routine. Our pals at Everyday Carry picked out 10 bags which do the trick quite nicely, with compartments that keep workout wear, clean clothes, and water bottles neatly organized.

A smartly-designed add on for gyms that don’t have all the equipment you need. It converts dumbbells so you can use them like kettlebells. It weighs less than a pound, and is small enough to pack in a suitcase. Just keep in mind that the resulting weights are a little wider.

A thoroughly modern take on jogging pants, steering clear of the sloppy look of sweats. The Bradbury has a stretchy, water-repellant Nylon/Spandex fabric, with zippered bottoms, and a slim, tapered leg that fits just right, but still lets you move.
