DIY TRX Suspension Trainer

TRX Suspension workouts have become very popular. The combination of balance and body weight creates a dynamic workout that engages the smaller supporting muscles including core muscles. Typically fitness enthusiasts are introduced to this type of workout at their gym or health club, but when they want to adapt this workout at home many will discover how expensive the equipment can be. The average price tag is $190. Wow! That hurts. Fortunately with a little ingenuity and a visit to your favorite hardware store we can build our own TRX equipment for far less.


The materials needed are listed below:
Pack of Lashing/Tie-down straps (at least 8 feet)

At least 6 strong Carabiner clips

Exercise grip handles

Make sure the carabiner clips and lashing straps are strong enough to support your body weight. This info is typically posted on the package. To build, start by creating a loop with one of the lashing straps with the built in buckle. Attach a grip handle to one end of the lashing straps with a carabiner clip, then attach another carabiner to the opposite end of that lashing strap. Repeat with another lashing strap. Make sure to adjust the straps so they are even.

There are so many different combinations these items can be arranged in to create an effective workout. What's even better is the carabiner clips are a more secure connection than the ones the TRX bands come with. This set-up can be attached to pull-up bars and door jams. This should provide a means of getting the advantages of suspension training without the killer price.
