The public relations representative who told me about the TRX didn't get it when I said "Oh, this is sort of like a Boflex with out the base."
But that's what the TRX Suspension trainer looks like to me with its handles and bands. At any rate, it's become really hot these days in the fitness world. The TRX Suspension Trainer kit originally was developed for the military to help soldiers deployed to the Middle East stay physically fit. Earlier this year, the U.S. Army bought 3,200 of them for soliders.
One reason for its mainstream popularity could be that it can be taken anywhere, even tied to a treelimb or a doorway. It takes away all the excuses for not working out while vacationing or traveling on business.
Even professional teams such as the San Diego Chargers and Cincinnati Reds report using it because of its effectiveness with core training.
It costs about $199. To buy one or learn more about it, visit www.fitnessanywhere.com
