Do you think that 40 push ups and 40 back rows are challenging? Wait till you try these kind.

TRX Suspension Training has set a new standard in body weight exercise. They have coined the term 'suspension training' to describe their style of workout. Think gymnastic rings with an added bonus.

TRX has placed a challenge to all levels of fitness enthusiast. The task is to complete 40 atomic push ups and 40 low back rows. They categorize different levels as "10/10 is good, 20/20 puts you into the 25% bracket, 30/30 is a strong athlete, but 40/40 pushes you into the top 5%".

If you don't have access to the TRX system, try replicating the push ups on a stability ball and the rows under a stationary bar.
