The TRX system (that’s short for “total body resistance exercise,” in case you’re curious) uses straps to help you perform dozens of gravity-resistance exercises for a whole-body workout, from pushups to squats and situps.

This kit comes with an over-the-door mount, but for serious TRX action, you’ll need a heavy-duty anchor (here's an off-brand one on Amazon that gets great reviews for $14).
