If you’ve ever used the TRX suspension trainer at the gym, you know those hanging straps deliver a one-stop, hard-core workout. How good? Women who did regular 60-minute TRX sessions – burning up to 418 calories a pop – cut their body fat by 2 percentage points in two months, plus amped up their strength and endurance, according to new research from the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Net some of that trimming effect: Include a few suspension-training exercises as substitutes for some conventional ones, or add a suspension-training session into your weekly rotation, suggests Cedric Bryant, the chief science officer at ACE.
