Suspension Training

The term suspension training refers to an approach to fitness training that uses a system of ropes and webbing called a "suspension trainer" to allow the user to work against their own body weight.

Suspension exercise offers a new form of training for people of all abilities. It allows you to leverage your own bodyweight with gravity to develop strength, balance, flexibility, and joint stability simulaneously.

1. By suspending your body against gravity you create dynamic resistance, allowing you to use gravity to target any muscle in the human body.
2. By changing the angle and thereby increasing or decreasing the resistance, you can find your optimal resistance point. The more horizontal you are, the more you are lifting.
3. Suspended bodyweight training forces your body to engage your core and stabilizer muscles, resulting in a more flexible, symmetrical and complete workout.

We have put together a video at Bodytorque to showcase just a few exercises for a full body workout.
