The Biggest Loser uses TRX

I was a bit disappointed with last night's episode of the Biggest Loser.  The contestants had to compete for gym keys, and the losers were not able to use the gym during the week.  This meant that they had to train outdoors, and Jillian (the trainer) said, "I hate working out outdoors, let's clear away all of the furniture in our living room and workout in here." 

Really? She "hates" working out outdoors!  I would think most trainers would understand the added benefits of training outdoors,  many clinical studies have proven that outdoor workouts burn more calories than indoor workouts and people who workout outdoors sleep better. Those two benefits alone are enough for me to incorporate outdoor workouts in to my weekly routine and to encourage my clients to do the same.

I was however, very impressed when Bob had his team using the TRX.  I am a big advocate of Suspension Training on the TRX and Bob showed us that people of all fitness levels can use it an avoid wear and tear on our joints.  Even though they didn't have a gym to use for their workouts, they were able to do a complete workout outdoors with the TRX.
