Suspended Body weight Coaching: Exercise Packages for Whole-Physique Health

this book has been a great introduction to this relatively new and popular strength-training system
As a beginner to working out with a suspension trainer (commonly known by the brand name TRX), this book has been a great introduction to this relatively new and popular strength-training system. The author breaks it down so you understand what the suspension trainer is, as well as the variations available on the market (like one anchor point or two) and even how to make one yourself. There’s a whole section on basic movements and positions with the suspension trainer, which helps show all the different ways it can be used without necessarily doing a full workout. The different workout programs are divided up so there’s something for everyone, from basic upper- and lower- body circuits to sport-specific workouts for activities like basketball and swimming. The exercises are explained very clearly with step-by-step photos—but that doesn’t mean they’re easy. Because the exercises are all about instability, your body has to use all kinds of muscles you probably didn’t know existed. Even just the first time I tried to do a basic plank with both hands in the suspension trainer, I completely tipped over and had to do it again. I can tell that Suspended Bodyweight Training will definitely help amp up my strength-training—especially for my core!

Fun Workout!
I’ve seen the suspended bodyweight trainer at the gym a few times and I was always curious, but too intimidated to ask how to use it. I picked up this book because it seemed to have a lot of information and directions, and I was not disappointed! One thing that makes this book different is that the author is the real deal, a doctor and a physical therapist. If I want anyone teaching me about a new gym toy, it’s this guy! This book begins with the usual introductions for beginners, and it is all informative and interesting to read. I appreciate how the author doesn’t hide the reason most of us are interested in suspended bodyweight: it looks fun! He admits that it is fun, and embraces this fact as well as informing the reader about how it is a useful exercise tool. The author also gives an overview of some muscles, which is great. I always need a refresher on muscles, and I love it when books on exercise EXPLAIN why you’re doing these crazy things and how it helps! The book gives detailed instructions on specific exercises, as well as pre-set workouts to try. This book is great for beginning something new, or expanding your knowledge on a work-out you love! If you’re curious about suspended bodyweight training like I was, definitely pick this up and read through it. You’ll learn a lot!

サスペンショントレーニングのバンドなどは、数千円で手頃に入手できます。しかし私の探した範囲では日本語の解説書がない。そこでこの本にたどり着いたのですが、６０頁から１３５頁まで、各頁に１種目づつ、合計７４種目の写真と解説が！各種目は、スタート時と動作中の２枚、あるいは３枚が掲載してあります。英語を読むと各種目ごとに注意点が丁寧に書いてありますが、そこまで読まなくても写真を見るだけで充分。しかし全科目に名称が着いているのは驚きです。なお表紙とは違って、各頁の写真は白黒ですが。
