Product Information

The FITINDEX trainer kit weighs 1.65kg. While this weight is a little heavier than many other kits on the list, you can easily carry the straps in a carry bag wherever you go. Moreover, the suspension straps can conveniently hold a weight of 181kg, making this unit quite useful for many potential users in the market. Under the handles are foot cradles that allow you to stand on the trainer for all kinds of exercises. The carabiner on the strap’s top works as a clip and helps to connect an anchor point with a trainer.

By holding onto the two straps with your hands or suspending your feet into the foot cradles, you leverage your own body weight against gravity to create as much or as little resistance as you want for each exercise. The two straps share a single attachment point to your anchor, creating 360 degrees of available movement space, as well as an unstable environment that recruits multiple muscles (as well as your attention) to keep yourself stable throughout the moves. The more muscles working together to do the exercises, the more functional and efficient the workout. If you’d rather begin with something more economical, you’ll get great value with the well-rounded FITINDEX Resistance Trainer Kit ( view at FitIndex).

Besides, light trainers are easy to carry from one place to another. However, the increased weight of suspension systems reduces portability and may restrict you from enjoying the trainers in your favourite spots.

An interesting feature of the trainer is its “split anchor” system, meaning its anchors are found on the ends of each strap so you can widen or decrease the width to accommodate varying statures for targeted exercises. The brand amps up this design feature’s ability to target more muscle groups than single anchor versions to get you that total-body workout you crave.

Lightweight suspension trainers are perfect for all types of users. They are easy to install and do not feel heavy while using them for stretching or squats. The foot straps are padded, making them gentle for heavier users when performing arm exercises, stretches, or ab-busting, hanging knee raises.
