MUSTS<\/u><\/b> NICE TO HAVE<\/u><\/b> Whew, there’s a lot of gear. But remember to give crossfit a few months before investing in specific items.<\/p>\n Crossfit friends — what are your must have items?<\/b><\/p>\n Shop the post and then some: <\/p>\n
\n
<\/b>
\nShoes<\/b>
\nWhen I first started Crossfit I rocked my Nike’s with pride and they worked. Over time I got better and needed new shoes. Not sure how I would like Reebok Nanos I bought a pair of Nano 4s at the outlet. Boy did they make a difference in WODs.

\nApparel<\/b>
\nI’m not the girl in the box with booty shorts and sports bra, but I do try and buy apparel that’s super breathable. This girl gets hot. Yes there are times I’m sans tank so a cute sports bra is usually in order. I’m currently loving this tank<\/a>, leggings<\/a> and sports bra<\/a>.
\n

\nJump Rope<\/b>
\nWhether you have your double under or not there’s something nice about having your own jump rope. My rope is the perfect length for me.<\/p>\n
\n

\nLifters<\/b>
\nWhile you don’t need them it’s nice for certain movements especially when things start getting heavy. I didn’t buy my first pair of OLY shoes until 9 months ago. They’ve helped with my lifts and give me the stability I need.
\n

\nWrist Wraps<\/span>
\nAfter having ‘mom thumb’ I bought wrist wraps. They provide extra support when lifting heavy or overhead.
\n
<\/span>
\nWeight belt <\/b>
\nWhen you squat often and heavy the extra support helps. Starting to see a theme? I’ve tried a few belts, but I personally love my Unbroken Designs<\/a> belt. It’s perfect for OLY lifting and WODs.
\n
<\/b>
\nGrips<\/b>
\nI have wussy hands so anything that helps. Hand maintenance is also importance. You use your hands a lot in crossfit and overtime you can build up gnarly calluses. If you don’t maintain your hands they’ll likely ripe off. Not only does it hurt, but it’s disgusting. So I use a callus shaver regularly keep calluses from building up.
\n
<\/b>
\nKnee Sleeves<\/b>
\nIf you have knee issues these are a must, otherwise they’re nice to have. Like wrist wraps and a weight belt, knee sleeves give you added support. They also can double as shin guards during snatches, rope climbs, deadlifts, etc.<\/p>\n
