Our Winter Workout Must Haves For November

The TRX ($170) may seem like old news, but I had never tried one, and now it is my absolute favorite piece of equipment in my home gym. It's simple, really — just two adjustable straps with handles attached that you attach to a closed door. It takes bodyweight exercises to a whole new level! I'm firing up muscles I don't think I've ever worked, in way less time than regular workouts, and it takes less than a minute to set up. I've even been using it to build core and upper-body strength in order to lift into a handstand. It's perfect for working out at home and to stick in your suitcase, so even if you go away for Thanksgiving, you have no excuses!
