Thought I'd pass this along. http://www.military.com/military-fitnes ... gym-in-bag
It's not reisitance bands but it does allow for a complete body weight exercise program and doesn't take up much room. you can also find info at fitnessanywhere.com. Looks like it would be a great gym to carry when you go vagabonding.

Thanks for the article, I had just been wondering how to add weight to my push ups without dragging more stuff into the house.

Great post Mehdi. This is a topic that has been discussed briefly here and there amongst other articles and forum threads, but nothing to this length or detail. This puts it altogether and I believe it is a topic of interest for many people. Thanks a bunch!

1 more product from Lifeline USA : http://www.lifelineusa.com/products/pow ... p-2&detail

xsinner, TRX really look nice to me..also there are similar product like Jungle gym from Lifeline USA and Universal strength Apparatus from bodyweight Culture. Now If you want a Gym in a bag what all would you put in it ?

Mine list would be:
1. Jungle Jym for Pullups, Dips, Suspended Pushup, core work.
2. Chest expander or Bands set for replacing cable system, pushups and rehab.
3. Skipping rope for conditioning.
4. Grippers

I can not buy this stuff in India, but will be travelling to US next week so should be able to setup my gym in a bag

1 question..can band resisted pushup be done by looping the 41'' band twice ?
this could help save bit of money
