Bodyweight exercises like pull-ups and dips are some of the most effective exercises for the upper body, and they only require a bar. JAAFIT’s pull up bar for the door hangs in the doorframe without screws or drilling, supports up to 110 kg and has four grip positions. A band is included that takes part of the bodyweight so you can train pull-ups even if you cannot do a full rep yet. As you get stronger, you switch to a lighter band and eventually train without one.

With a dip bar on the bar you cover both pull and press from the same doorway. That makes the bar one of the most space-saving pieces of equipment for home workout. You can find the full range under pull-up and dip.

Home fitness does not need to be a room full of machines. A home gym can consist of a few pieces of equipment when they together cover the movements the body needs. It is about push, pull and legs, and about being able to increase the load as you get stronger.

The principle is the same as in a gym. Muscles must be exposed to a load they are not used to, and the load must be increased little by little. You can just as well do that at home when the equipment allows it. In addition to bands and a bar, JAAFIT has PowerPress for chest press with up to 70 kg resistance and Push Up Handles for deeper push-ups. Together this allows training with real load and not just staying active. You can see the full selection of strength training equipment if you want to build your setup.

Home workout only works if the body can keep up. Soreness and tension can slow down an otherwise good rhythm, and therefore recovery is part of staying consistent. Sleep, diet and light movement on rest days help a lot, and massage can be a supplement when muscles feel stiff. JAAFIT’s MassageRollers combine rotation and pulsing and can be used after training and for everyday tension in the neck, shoulders and legs.

The hardest part of getting started is rarely motivation. It is knowing what to do. That’s why JAAFIT Træningsappen is included when you buy equipment. It has eight video programs and an exercise library with over 60 exercises demonstrated and explained by JAAFIT’s trainers Andreas and Jakob. They both hold a bachelor’s degree in sports from Aarhus University. If you are a complete beginner, start with JAAFIT Rejsen, a three-step beginner course that takes you from equipment setup to correct technique.

As a beginner, two or three workouts a week is a good starting point. If you want to try home workout before buying anything, you can follow our free home workout program, which can be done with resistance bands or bodyweight. And if you want to understand the movements better, we have gathered the most important home workout exercises in our guide to exercises with bands.

Home workout should fit you, not the other way around. To see all equipment together, find it under home workout equipment, and a complete overview of all products can be found under JAAFIT Produkter.
