🏋️ Popular Suspension Trainers
⚙️ How a Suspension Trainer Works
A suspension trainer anchors to a fixed point, and you hold the straps while leaning or placing your feet in them. Your body weight becomes the resistance, and you change the difficulty simply by adjusting your body angle.
Because the straps are unstable, your core muscles must constantly engage to maintain balance during exercises.
