My entire body is sore. In fact, I think the only parts of me that aren’t sore are my fingertips which is the only reason I’m able to write this blog right now. Between my gym workout yesterday and shooting the video for The Human Trainer workout today, I think I’ve pretty much driven my muscles into submission. And yes, of course, I’m loving every minute of it.
I’m kind of loving my new equipment, too (one of you is also getting a gym set, so keep reading). I did a workout with a very similar product called The Jungle Gym XT several weeks ago, and I liked how it worked, so I was really excited to test out The Human Trainer.
I’ve had about a week to play with my “suspension gym” to decide if I liked it or not. As soon as I got it out of the can (super fun packaging – you’ll see it in the video), I could already tell the quality was superior. It definitely beats The Jungle Gym XT on a couple points – the materials seem a lot more durable and the pieces are more compact and easier to throw into a gym bag (or, in my case, a diaper bag). The TRX system is great, but The Human Trainer has so many features the TRX doesn’t. I even found a little chart comparing The Human Trainer to TRX >>
So I got it, tested it out with Trainer Daryl, put together an 8-exercise workout for you, and totally convinced the folks that make The Human Trainer (@astonefitness on Twitter) to send an extra one to a Bex Life fan! It’s been FOREVER since I’ve given away a piece of workout equipment (mostly because I rarely find one that I love), so I’m super amped!
