Here's all that you'll need:
1) "Perfect Fitness Handles" - These are comfortable, sturdy, and come with a mesh storage bag and door anchor accessory!
2) 1" x 12' Lashing Straps
There are lots of TRX clones but this design is uniquely inexpensive, durable, and easy to make and use. Best of all, if a component is damaged or wears out, it's a cinch to replace the part instead of the whole device.
Body weight resistance exercises are challenging enough for elite athletes yet can be regressed to suit even the most deconditioned individuals. Learn proper technique with the help of a fitness professional and by using the following exercise libraries:
Safety First!
Build and use the device at your own risk. The components I've used in the video can support my body weight several times over but remember that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
Avoid anchor points with sharp corners as they might damage the lashing straps. Check your suspension device for damage or loose knots before every use. — youtube.com
