home equipment

Hey! How many of you guys have gymnastics equipment in your house? What kind, where did you buy it/how did you make it, and would you recommend any of it for someone else?

Just wondering because I'm thinking about buying a low beam or foam beam :]

I have a sectional foam beam on floor (bought off ten-0.com), dance mirrors, and a panel mat that I came across at Sports Authority a while back. I find them useful for basics & for flexibility/standing skills. Mirrors I use for dancing plus leaps & turns.

I have Leg Stretcher: Splits Machine Free Shipping! review at Kaboodle I need to get it back out to use but we are supposed to be moving soon and so it sits waiting for me in storage.

OMG, I didn't even know there was such a thing as a splits machine!

I have a full length floor beam, a small thin mat, a thick firm 6 inch mat that folds in half to become a 12 inch mat, and a 12 inch soft crash mat. I also have some bars outside, they're metal like a jungle gym, they don't flex so you can't really do proper bar routines on them but you can do conditioning, circle ups and so on. I put the thick mats underneath the bars. I mainly got the equipment for my 8 year old DD.

We don't have mirrors, they sound like they might be quite useful for dance stuff.
