I am very frugal, I think I wouldn't have dared buy two ... I'd want to just get one and try it before investing in another. I do think it's great how you two work out together though! You do need two if you do that :)JenBsJourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03576736509918151680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-71682517729416566542014-06-24T10:04:02.012-04:002014-06-24T10:04:02.012-04:00Well, when you've been doing this as long as w...Well, when you've been doing this as long as we have, free weights gets pretty boring, pretty fast. Even the Total Trainers don't always give us the workout we want. Given we have to switch things up if we ever want to see results again, I think this will work well for us. There are wall mounts you can purchase and as long as you're in a stud, you're good to go. I would never use these over mine or anyone's (hotel, rental, etc) doors. I know these and other systems say you can but I'm not the kind of person comfortable with risking...or bringing down the house! LOL I'd pay to watch you try it on the blue spruce. ;-)Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-55723055769106715282014-06-24T09:49:44.261-04:002014-06-24T09:49:44.261-04:00I've never tried that kind of workout.

I'm not sure that I have a place for the straps either. We finished out basement when we moved in so there are no open joists, and I'm not going to risk my doors either. I'm pretty sure that even if I wanted to do this outside in front of my neighbors my blue spruce isn't the kind of tree they had in mind either. another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-62048428900007090692014-06-24T08:23:24.144-04:002014-06-24T08:23:24.144-04:00Surprise!

Can you say no return security deposit? "Why is the door frame broken?" But it's nice to know we could use it on a big ol' tree if we rent a cabin somewhere and want to monkey around. Thanks again for massaging my legs this morning so I can walk. I'm Bartyles and James and I thank you for yer support.Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-88729490803024285692014-06-24T08:18:32.247-04:002014-06-24T08:18:32.247-04:00I can see how it would definitely benefit for phys...I can see how it would definitely benefit for physical therapy. I know just the very limited leg moves I did left me limping today because I forgot to have the Mr do a deep tissue massage on me afterward. Thankfully he got to it this morning. Better than paying $40 a pop to the chiro every week. :-) Oh man, you're right, the movers ARE gonna love you! LOL Actually the rack is PERFECT for this. If it's like a Smith machine type thing with the big bar across the top and is rated to hold your body weight in addition to the weight on there then you might be able to slide the straps over the bar. Woot! Obviously research all that stuff first. ;-)Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-10588480535098314612014-06-24T07:56:45.094-04:002014-06-24T07:56:45.094-04:00It was an awesome surprise!

I am glad it is versatile enough to use over the rafter or over a door, a tree, etc. Looks like they would travel well too but I have to admit I don't trust my weight on most doors yet.The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-79936562039757569422014-06-24T07:40:12.223-04:002014-06-24T07:40:12.223-04:00I had to do some TRX stuff in physical therapy for...I had to do some TRX stuff in physical therapy for my knees and I liked it. <br />I might look into these after the move since I am making a home gym (my power rack is being delivered soon!) <br />I'll see if I can loop it over the rack because then I can do some of my other physical therapy stuff with it...
