> Loop these sturdy nylon straps around any bar--whether in your gym, home, or local park--and you can perform more than 50 upper-body exercises, including triceps extensions, chest flys, and inverted rows. "Each arm has to work independently," says Joe Stankowski, C.P.T., a trainer in Wilmington, Del., "so the stabilizer muscles in your shoulders, abs, and lower back work hard to keep you balanced." Stankowski adds that Upper-Body Blast Straps are a favorite of elite powerlifters--meaning that, unlike Swiss balls and elastic exercise bands, "there's no wuss factor associated with using them." $55 @ elitefts.com
