Well, this last week has been spent on a beautiful and relaxing vacation in the mountains of Colorado.  I debated taking the week off as far as working out goes, but I decided that would be counter productive, so…I made me some handy suspension straps (similar to the TRX, but 15 bucks instead of 150).  Obviously, they are not exactly the same, but pretty close and they have given me a great workout so far this week.  Here’s how it has gone:

Monday: Legs

Jump Squats
One leg Squats
Lunge/balance lunge/side lunge
Hamstring curl

All done with the straps…went through each exercise with no rest, then took a brief rest…then repeated for 3 circuits.  My legs were sore the next day.

Tuesday: Shoulders

Suspended Handstand Press
W Deltoid Fly
T Deltoid Fly
Y Deltoid Fly

Did 3 sets of 10 on the first one…the circuited the others same as above

Thursday: Triceps

Triceps Extensions
Dips
Triceps Ladders: start with flat closed grip pushups to failure, thin slightly inclined on staircase to failure, and slightly incline two more times to failure (repeat 1 or 2 times)

This was probably the hardest workout…Just did 3 sets of each.

Most of these excersices were done using body weight and suspension straps; I would highly recommend purchasing (or making) a set or two of these babies!
