There’s good news today for anybody committed to being more fit in 2018. Today only, a cult-favorite suspension training system — the TRX Suspension Trainer — is an Amazon deal of the day.
The system tackles common excuses we all use to avoid working out: the cost of a gym membership, actually going to the gym, and the discomfort of getting back into a routine while surrounded by strangers. Sometimes, it’s a busy lifestyle that makes regular drop-ins difficult to manage.
If you’re looking for a way to eliminate every one of those concerns, TRX might be right for you, especially for under $100. If you’ve got access to a door, tree, wall stud, or rafters, you can get a full-body workout in as little as 40 minutes. TRX was developed by a Navy SEAL squadron commander and has quickly become the fitness darling of NFL athletes, supermodels, and the U.S. Army.
If you’re willing to use the TRX system, it’s a fantastic investment.
Here’s why: it’s a one-time cost, lightweight, compact gym/workout that can go wherever you go (a versatility that helps with consistency), and you’ll never outgrow it. You also don't need to buy a bunch of dumbbells of different weights (adding cost, especially for adjustable ones, and storage space) for when you surpass a strength level.
In other words, the TRX System is a one-time cost for a forever workout, if you can get into the habit of actually using it. But then again, that goes with literally any form of exercise, be it in a gym or at home.
In terms of efficacy, it’s also one of the best workouts you can do. There’s a reason aside from wonderful versatility that makes it a favorite for everyone from the U.S. military to John and Jane Doe: using gravity and your own body weight to resistance train is pretty ideal for developing muscle.
Since it targets both major and minor muscle groups simultaneously, you’ll get a more even and natural tone faster than other exercises. Working out this way also reduces your chances of getting injured compared to using weights or gym equipment, especially since you can pace yourself in a way that's harder in a crowded and intimidating gym.
As Business Insider writer Steven John wrote in his personal review, "understanding how to use a TRX suspension trainer system is easy, but mastering the movements that allow you to use it properly will take some patience and dedication." But once you’re comfortable, you will be able to get an excellent full-body workout at home with "hardware that can be packed into a bag that's smaller than a six-pack of cans and light enough to bring anywhere."
As someone who also uses the TRX Suspension System at home for the nights when I really don’t want to leave the apartment, I definitely agree with this assessment. For a bit of cardio, you may choose to add in this jump rope for its equal versatility and efficacy as one of the best fat-burning workouts possible.
If you’re going to use it, TRX's kit is a great investment, especially at this deal price.
