Blitz your body with the smartest bit of kit around with this workout from top trainer Niko Algieri
Total Body TRX
TRX has made its mark as one of the best bits of portable fitness kit. But this super-smart suspension trainer also offers serious body benefits. It’s one of the best ways to develop total-body strength without the need for regular weights, while boosting your core, balance, posture and alignment.

Originally designed by a Navy Seal to allow training anywhere without the need for a gym, the two-handled strap can be used for feet or hands, allowing you to do a full range of movements that engage every muscle.

FUNCTIONAL FITNESS

Celebrity PT and top TRX trainer Niko Algieri (known for training stars including Ellie Goulding) loves TRX so much he’s based his Equilibium Total Balance studios around it. ‘The key point of TRX is it constantly engages the core,’ says Niko. ‘So it makes us fit for everyday life as well as the gym. It can build muscle, develop endurance and create mobility, flexibility, and there are limitless functional movements. It’s the best training tool.’ Now you can try it at home, as Niko is sharing a workout with H&F readers.

‘This TRX Total Body Workout is perfect to engage all the major muscle groups using functional movement patterns in one circuit,’ says Niko ‘The four leg exercises will sculpt your legs and glutes. The core section will strengthen your midline, while the upper-body exercises will tone your arms, chest and shoulders. Every TRX move develops core strength and stability. Perform consistently three times a week, three to four weeks and you’ll see a dramatic change in strength, tone and posture.’
