Suspension seems great

I am sometimes sucked in to new fads and things, however I like to think that I just get excited about doing new stuff. So anyway, I have always been into bodyweight exercises just because I don't like the gym and pumping weights - except that recently doing the Turbulence Training workouts I have changed my views on lifting weights. 

So anyway I, much like many other people I imagine, thought that bodyweight exercises just were press ups, chinups, situps, dips, squats and lunges. My eyes were opened so wide when I discovered BWC and PZ on You Tube and my interest in using bodyweight as resistance is now at the highest it has ever been. 

I found the Universal Strength Apparatus and then the well marketed TRX and I was going to buy one of them but they seemed pricey. So I attached a couple of belts to my chinup bar and started doing some brand new exercises. 

My hands started to find it tricky getting the right grip so I trawled the internet for a cheaper alternative to the USA or TRX or how to make one. With some luck I found the Flex Staps which were only about £25. 

The FlexStraps arrived today, yes I bought them, and first impressions are that they seem excellent value. Good hand grips and adjustable lengths from high enough to do horizontal pull ups and low enough for stability press ups or various ab exercises where you feet are suspended. 

I shall use them later properly. very cool.
