I really need the equalizer or a dip station but I'm in the UK and these things are so expensive!
I've tried using doorframes in the house but they're not very stable as it is, and when I tried last time the door wouldn't close properly for days, think it was misaligned :-S
Anyone else finding issue with not having some of the equipment?

Hi I'm in the uk but haven't looked into buying equipment, I use a rucksack filled with 10lb of magazines in place of the sandbag! I've worked up to that though as I couldn't use any weight at the beginning!
For pull up's I use my kitchen table : )

& here if you watch routine 8 of top 10 abs, at the end lisa gives an alternative exercise for an equaliser exercise.

Now I doing hanging knee raises whenever they use the dip station/equalizer for the knee raises. Before, I used to just do a tuck abs... I think that was an alternative the Lisa suggested back in the January challenge.0

So instead of doing the knee lifts or raises on dip station, you do the tuck abs (more widely known as seated knee tuck).

Ahhh, I see, thanks!
I have seen something called the Iron Gym, by JML. It kind of hooks over your doorframe - am thinking about buying this as it looks as though it may be helpful for the upper body ones...0 -
We have the iron gym, and that's what I use for the hanging knee raises.0
