TRX Full Body 12-min workout, advanced

This 12-min TRX HIIT workout is pretty advanced.  Meaning it's better for someone who already has a fairly strong upper body.  By the time my personal trainer introduced this routine, I'd been working with her and the TRX for over five years.  Of course, the advantage of using TRX is that it's possible to start at an easier level and increase the amount of body weight being applied as strength increases simply by placing the feet a slightly different distance from the anchor point.

There are 12 exercises, each done for 45 seconds, with 15 second rest periods  The video provides timing for three sets, but I normally just do one set and then move on to different exercises.  Keeps me from getting bored.
