Are you looking for a creative alternative to lifting weights day after day, week after week? Are you going on vacation and are unsure about your hotel’s spotty gym equipment? Are you looking to build strength, improve your balance, and work on your posture all at the same time? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to try Suspension Band Training. You’ve probably seen TRX bands hanging around your gym and are curious about how to incorporate them into your workout, but you’re not sure where to start. The answer is that there really isn’t a “right” or “wrong” way to incorporate TRX exercises into a workout program so long as you perform the exercises with correct form. Just like any other resistance training routine, you typically want to perform larger muscle group exercises earlier in the workout and smaller, more isolated exercises later. You can complete an entire upper body workout with suspension bands, or you can use them to supplement the work you are doing with weights for a given body part. For example, you could try this…
| Exercise | Sets | Reps | Rest |
| Dumbbell Bench | 4 | 8 | 90 Seconds |
| Cable Fly | 3 | 10 | 90 Seconds |
| TRX Chest Press | 3 | 10 | 90 Seconds |
| Push-up | 2 | 12 | 90 Seconds |
| Exercise | Sets | Reps | Rest |
| TRX Chest Press | 4 | 8 | 90 Seconds |
| TRX Inverted Row | 4 | 8 | 90 Seconds |
| TRX Triceps Press | 3 | 10 | 90 Seconds |
| TRX Biceps Curl | 3 | 10 | 90 Seconds |
