What suspension trainers are for

A suspension trainer (such as a TRX) is a pair of adjustable straps anchored overhead. Leaning at different angles changes how much of your bodyweight you lift, so one set of straps can be easy for a beginner and hard for an athlete. Every exercise also trains the core.

Technique and safety

Anchor the straps securely and keep them taut throughout. Make an exercise harder by moving your feet closer to the anchor, and easier by stepping away.
