By now you should be feeling a lot more comfortable using the TRX equipment, or if you already have TRX experience you should have settled back into the feeling of using the suspension trainer. For workout one of the second fortnight of the challenge we’ve dialled up the complexity of the exercises a little bit and added some isolation exercises that focus on building muscle tone in the arms.

Perform the below for a 2 week period each session should begin with a 20 minute cardiovascular warm-up. Be sure to remain well hydrated through the duration and after the session has concluded.
