TRX Workout
Have you heard about TRX yet?
TRX is a total-body workout system that utilizes suspension training, and it’s revolutionizing the way people think about fitness. It offers an entirely new perspective on resistance training, and has the ability to change the way you get in shape. If you’re looking for something new, TRX is it.
What is TRX?
TRX is basically an advanced exercise system that relies on body weight for resistance, intended to offer complete upper body, lower body, and core exercises. It requires that you anchor a system of ropes and straps to a pole, tree, or some other stationary object or feature. From that point on, your strength and balance are challenged in new ways as you work out according to your own level of fitness. This is what makes TRX workouts great for beginners and more advanced lifters alike.
What also makes TRX workouts great is their portability. The TRX suspension system can be packed up easily and taken anywhere, offering complete workouts on the go. You can take a look at the package they offer here – TRX Home Suspension Training Kit.
Many TRX exercises require that you work out while suspending one or more of your body parts in the air, with the rope system often attached to the ceiling or some other feature that has height. This is why all TRX workouts are so effective for your abdominal and core muscles, as balance is something that’s challenged in nearly every TRX exercise. A TRX bar can also be used to make exercises more or less challenging.
If you’re new to the TRX suspension training system, I’m going to outline 5 beginner exercises for a complete muscle-building and toning TRX workout.
TRX Workout for Beginners
1. TRX Suspended Push-Up – With the TRX straps attached to the ceiling or taller piece of workout equipment, you’re going to get into a traditional push-up position. You want to start with the suspension handles just below waist height. Resting with your toes on the floor and aligning your back with your hips and legs, grip each handle as you face the floor. Engage your pectorals and triceps as you stabilize your core through a series of push-ups.
