Fitness anywhere

There are hundreds of fitness gizmos being sold these days, but few ever live up to the claims made in their respective advertisements and/or infomercials. It's a shame, really, since all people who buy these products want to do is get themselves into better shape. Instead, the only place they become lighter is in the wallet.

Fortunately, there are some products that are worthwhile. In most cases, they're not so much mini-machines that do exercises with you (such as the Ab Rocker or that crazy bull riding-looking thing) as they are simple devices to help you work yourself out. Of the far fewer of these particular devices available, I think the TRX Suspension Training System is one that at the very least does what it's supposed to.

How do you do elevated push-ups when you're in a hotel room? How can you do split squats if you don't have a bench on which to place your back foot? And how can you perform standing rows if you don't have a long cable or rope to wrap around a sturdy object (that you also may not have)? The TRX is the answer to these questions. Designed by a Navy SEAL, these nylon straps with handles can be used to perform almost every body weight exercise you can think of.
