Suspension Training makes women's fitness fun and effective and it's a great way to strengthen a women's upper body. Using their own body weight, women can strengthen their muscle fibers as they work at a variety of angles which is challenging and puts tension on the muscles so they contract faster. These upper body workouts are designed for quick repetitions, leaving little time to rest in between. Suspension Training provides a great upper body workout that will strengthen and tone a woman's chest, back, triceps, biceps, and shoulders.
