Time To Work Off Those State Fair Pounds

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Minnesota State Fair has come and gone, but any extra weight you may have gained is likely still around.

With that in mind, it's a good time of year to start thinking about a new fall workout routine that you can get excited about.

A strap system has become more popular in the last 12 months. The workout demands more of muscles you may not ordinarily use. The straps can be secured to a ceiling or a door frame.

"It's always a new variable you have to control," sid Eric Hall with Avatar Private Training Studio.

The adjustable straps allow you to use your own body weight to do a wide variety of exercises that will work the entire body.

TRX makes a unit that's available for about $150. A number of gyms across the Twin Cities offer training classes.
