Suspension training allows your whole body to strengthen as a unit, and while the larger muscles are the main targets, your smaller, stabilizing muscles are also being engaged. That means that by developing your entire body, you’re reducing any weak points in the system and improving both efficiency and movement.
The more muscles recruited at once, the greater the calorie burn, so these exercises have the double benefit of building core strength and torching away the stubborn body fat that covers your abdominals.
1. FLYE
Main targets: Chest, abs, core
Difficulty:**
• Stand tall, holding the rings with your palms facing in.

2. RING HOLD
Main targets: Entire core
Difficulty:**
• Jump into the top position of a dip – elbows locked, rings close to your body

3. HANGING KNEE RAISE
