Most individuals believe that lifting weights – or extreme workouts – are the only way in order to achieve results. Suspension training is an exercise method which is shown to improve total body strength, stability as well as cardiovascular health. This is done minus traditional weightlifting, swinging kettlebells, or lifting semi-truck tyres.
The suspension training system was developed by a Navy Seal over 20 years ago and since then has captured the attention of athletes, coaches and personal trainers. It continues to grow as an effective programme utilised by professional athletes, every branch of the military, Olympians as well as gyms worldwide.
The gist is quite simple. Suspension training involves any bodyweight exercise that is done while using straps, cords, rings, ropes or chains that are suspended from a single or multiple vertical anchor points. However, the question, of course, is why someone should try this form of training?
Delivers A Fast, Effective Total-Body Workout
Whether you want to build strength, lose fat, improve endurance or flexibility, suspension training can be used in order to achieve any fitness goal. By just leveraging your body weight in order to perform hundreds of exercises, you are able to get a full body workout while – at the same time – working your core. And because you’re working with one training tool and are able to adjust your weight on the fly, you can minimise your training time by switching from one exercise to the next in just a matter seconds.
Suitable For All Fitness Levels
It doesn’t matter whether you’re an Olympic athlete or just venturing out into a new fitness hobby. Suspension training is useful for all levels of athlete. Just by altering your body position slightly, the load may be increased or decreased on your muscles meaning that everyone can use this method of training.
Helps To Build A Rock-Solid Core
Having a strong core means more as opposed to having a visible six-pack. If you would like to move, feel and look better, chances are good that you should start with your core. That’s why any movement performed during suspension training requires that you brace – as well as stabilise – with your abs, obliques and lower-back so you are able to leverage your own bodyweight as resistance. Suspension training exercises use functional movements to help you increase your overall core fitness.
Versatility
Just two adjustable bands offer a comprehensive workout to every single muscle in your body. You are able to transport them easily and set up the suspension training system anywhere, so when you come back from your healthy holiday, totally addicted, you will be able to buy your own and carry on enjoying the benefits wherever you are.
Low Impact Nature
Owing to its suspended nature, suspension training is very low impact and means that your joints are not put under much stress. In turn, this means that there is a low risk of injury, allowing you to train as hard as you wish with less risk of causing or agitating a pre-existing injury.
