What is everyone's favorite piece of dryland equipment that they use? I believe that you can do so much with just using your own bodyweight but if we are talking about equipment I would say that the medicine ball is one of my favorites.
Here is one of my favorite circuits:
Perform 3 times
10 Overhead Med Ball Slams
10 Jumps Squats and Toss
10 Med Ball Push - ups
10 Reverse Scoop Tosses
10 Rotations per side
Please share what your favorite piece of equipment is and what you like to do with them.
Thanks!

I like my kettlebell. Great for keeping the back in shape and for blasting off the blocks. That and my P90X and Insanity dvds.
Yes! The kettlebell is an excellent complement to swimming. The movements are dynamic and 3-dimensional, which helps a bunch. I've been curious to try the P90X DVDs too, but I'm afraid they'd be so hard that my swimming might suffer.
I just took my first Pilates reformer class this week (a 30 minute intro) and absolutely loved it. I signed up for a series of private reformer sessions and can't wait to see what it does for my core strength and flexibility, and therefore swimming. That might end up being my favorite dryland equipment.
