So PD introduced me to TRX. It’s called ’suspension and balance training’, but you do it with two ropes against a wall, and you have to balance the whole time but you’re also stretching… it’s hardcore. You’ll be stiff for a long time after your first session, but persevere. We like it because it shapes your thighs longer rather than wider, as things like squats tend to do. It’s also great for core.

TRX is very simple but you’ll need to be shown what to do. Ask an instructor at the gym. I see Virgin Active Gardens now has a TRX wall – nice. You can also get one installed at home.

PS I also like it coz it sounds like T-Rex
