What is TRX? Maybe you've heard about it...maybe you've seen it...but have you experienced it? Let's break down the basics of TRX:
What is it? A form of Suspension Training that uses your own body weight as resistance.
Who made it? U.S. Navy SEALS, founder Randy Hetrick
Who should use it? Everyone! It can assist with squats/lunges or challenge an elite athlete at a one legged push up. Other elements such as golf swing rotation, Pilates ab series, or yoga stretches can also be performed using the TRX. You will increase strength, flexibility, balance, and power all in one workout.
Some famous names who use TRX: Mary J. Blige, Drew Brees (NFL), Bob Harper (Biggest Loser), Jennifer Lopez
What are some advantages? This type of workout is one you can take with you (hence the company name of Fitness Anywhere). The TRX itself weights less than 2lbs which makes it portable and can be setup in seconds (to an overhead beam, door frame, tree, ect). The best part is that its a full body workout no matter which one of the 100s of exercises you do!
In addition the company has recently come out with the TRX Rip Trainer meant for those who wish to specialize more in power and rotation movements.
