Why Limit Yourself To Same Old Boring Workouts and Exercises

by Monica

A visitor recently asked me "can you please put together a 45 minute workout without the TRX using weights, bands or medicine balls or a combo of all. I would love to try it for my boot camp"

My first thought is why would a bootcamp trainer be focused on the word without and why would they want to limit their clients experience to the same old boring stuff that most of those people can probably do on their own.

Here's what visitors who answered the most recent survey here at FWG said they wanted:

"I would like to see lots of different exercises which combine upper/lower body movements, designed to maximize calorie burn, elevate heart rate, and strengthen muscle. These should be innovative, and involve a minimum of equipment." Lou, Collegeville PA

TRX, kettlebells, dumbells, skipping, boxing, bodyweight etc. Exercises than can be performed without huge outlay for equipment" Jan, Mentone Australia

"Dumbell, TRX, unique and original things like in your video. All over body workouts that are fun and add lot's of variety." Sue, Ham Lake MN

"More TRX workouts. Fun outdoor cardio workouts." Maralyn, Mesa AZ

"Lots of variety of body weight exercises, new stuff not the same old thing." Arden, Surprise AZ

"Anything & everything! Bodyweight workouts, interval workouts, & workouts using various fitness equpiment - kettlebells, dumbbells, medicine balls, resistance bands, sandbells, etc. Workouts targeting specific problem areas." Jeri, Kanehoe HI

Notice how bodyweight and full body, unique, innovative, everything, variety, not same old stuff, original, and fun are what people these days really want.


Most people who visit here aren't just looking for any old workout, they want to feel excited about their workouts which is the same reason people join bootcamps.

The reality is people are tired of the same old boring db stuff, the same old resistance band stuff and the same old med ball stuff. People are looking for so much more out of their fitness programs these days. They want fun and exciting which is what got me started with Tacfit, suspension trainer workouts, sandbells and soon clubbells!

Also based on the work I've been doing with my own clients in the last year, the suspension trainer blows bands and weights out of the water. I had clients who were just not responding to traditional workouts but working with a suspension trainer has changed that.

Not only does a suspension trainer rehab shoulders, hips, weak cores, and backs, it also burns a boatload more fat and calories in less time than band work and it builds more functional strength than db and medicine balls alone. It also changes people's attitudes about what they can accomplish with their bodies.

Combine a suspension trainer with traditional equipment and you've got an even more dynamic and effective fatloss workout like the one I'm posting next week.

My question is why limit yourself or your clients when there is so much more out there. As TRX is saying these days Get With The Movement!"
