What fits in a shoe box and can train pretty much all 600 muscles of your body?
If you guessed the suspension trainer, you guessed correctly.
I use my suspension trainer a lot. I love to take it to the back yard and hang it from a tree to train. I have a sample workout for you below of something that I’d do outside or in my home gym.
Do 45 seconds of work with a 10 second transition:
- Row
- Alternate single leg deadlift
- Squat jump (do a squat if you can’t jump the entire time)
- Chest press
- Tricep extension
- Speed squat row
- Kneeling ab roll out
Repeat 3 to 5 times
Here’s a video demonstration of the exercises:
This is my friend, Dan Long and me at one of our fit pro get-togethers. He’s the one of the most ‘enthusiastic’ guys I know. You can’t help but get excited and pumped up for your workout when Dan is around.
