you’re free to do the same.
A door, tree branch, or stairwell all work perfectly.
It should be able to support your body weight.
Give yourself enough space.Some bodyweight exercises require more maneuvering space than others.
Tight, cramped spaces can still work for certain exercises likeatomic push-upsorsuspension trainer-assisted pistol squats.
you’re able to probably still do simpler exercises, such as bicep curls or mountain climbers.
DoorFrames
Doors are the most straightforward and simplest places to use your trainers.
There are a handful of caveats with using a door though.
prior to beginning working out full force, double-check the door actually opensaway from you.
Im sure you’re able to guess why.
Lock the door if you’ve got the option to and pull on the straps to test it.
Then youre ready to go.
Also, ensure the door and its hinges are robust enough to handle a bit of force.
Doors in some countries simply arent built to withstand a little suspension trainer action.
Pull-up Bars
Pull-up bars at playgrounds or the park are my favorite places to attach suspension trainers.
An indoor pull-up bar also works as long as its properly secured.
Ive even used tree branches that look thick and strong enough to support my weight.
Thats the key thoughwhatever you use should be strong enough to support your weight.
Something similar to the picture above can work.
Again, give your straps a good several tugs to check.
Its not just these objects either.
For example, I set it up pretty securely on this lattice gate along the river Seinein Paris.
The point is to get creative and look for firm mounting points anywhere.
you could makealmostanything your gym, but use good judgment.
Obviously, dont trespass or make things inconvenient for others.
As Ive said before,The world is your oyster-gym.Take a crack at it.
