Did you know that a new government study estimates that nearly 80 percent of adult Americans do not get the recommended amounts of exercise each week? And 84 percent of Americans have not and absolutely will not join a gym.

So what is the hype all about? Well unlike a resistance band (which many initially confuse the TRX straps for) the resistance is not in the TRX. Instead, the straps serve as anchors for your body to move using its own resistance. Instantly traditional exercises such as squats, lunges, pushups and crunches become more challenging and your core and balance are always being challenged.
Don’t worry you wont be lost and confused at your crib once you anchor the TRX system to your door. The fully comprehensive library of DVDs and online resources ensures proper exercise safety and instruction, so don’t fret, via a screen you will be all set.
I have been having a blast flexing my muscles in ways that only the TRX system can provide and I am 100 percent convinced that gravity will be your new favorite workout partner too. TRX is perfect for anyone at any fitness level, and just like that winter coat every kid has–this system is something that not only fits well from the beginning, but is also designed to be something you can grow into. So come on lady, bring on a new challenge with TRX today!

Reform Your Core With The CoreBody Reformer
Prefer your #workoutflow via a mat or in a Pilates/Yogi type of way? Then you are going to flip when you get your hands on the Nautilus CoreBody Reformer.
I am a humungous fan of both Pilates and Yoga and give this system two solid thumbs up! I love how this portable piece of equipment infuses the core strengthening power of Pilates, the cardio fit fun of dance and the flexibility components of yoga all in one RAD workout.
Fusion workouts are tricky, however this simplified version of a reformer that doubles as a cable pulley machine and balancing beam makes working your core not only challenging but creative. The assembly was just as easy as the included DVD’s and workout cards,were to follow, and I especially love how after I have got my sweat on I could just hide it securely under my bed (huge plus for us NYC FitGirls).
Oh, and can you say cha-llen-ging?! There are three resistance levels for the pulleys—three, six and nine pounds—and the exercises were you stand on the reformer were my absolute fav. If you like a good fusion then do more for your core and give the CoreBody Reformer a shot.

Take A Journey With The Journey Gym
The road to health is certainly a journey, so you might as well enjoy it. At journey gym, they remove the top five hurdles associated with unsuccessful systems and provide a healthy foundation of excellent solutions. The program is time efficient (5-20minutes), result/success oriented and best of all- cost effective. For $14.95 you can try any journey gym package for 30 days and if you love it (which I am confident you will) the total cost turns out to be less than one month’s health insurance benefits. Plus, by utilizing Gradually Ramping Interval Training (G.R.I.T.) this well crafted system allows you to start at your own level and your own pace. I love how complete, lightweight, compact and durable the Journey Gym is. I never got bored sweating with the included 30 resistance bands and loved how I could train a range of clients on it since the systems resistance is super customizable (5 to 75 pounds per side). And if that’s not enough, you are going to love the specifically designed DVDs and how the system also doubles as a stepper. Hello cardio! What are you waiting for? Start “your” journey.
