Hi Folks,

The Mrs has OK'd my proposed use of a corner of the garden as a little exercise zone. I like the idea of a bit of al fresco training.

Anyone got any recommendations for where to get some basic kit? I'm thinking chin ups/dips that sort of thing.

Not suitable ones, no...

I was thinking of maybe making a chin up bar and dip bars with fence posts or something...

Yeah, you can do that. Concrete bed for the posts. Loads of examples of home gyms in gardens.

Could have dip bars sticking out.

I'm sure it would be fairly simple to make your own version of something like this

A skipping rope and a chair. The former for cardio, the chair you can do dips on and use it for inclined press ups.
