TRX Suspension Trainer

I was recently introduced to TRX Suspension training by my trainer. At first I didn’t think it looked like much and wondered how it could provide a quality Workout. I now feel completely different.

TRX Suspension Training uses your own bodyweight to create resistance as you train. That’s all you need - the TRX and your own body. No additional equipment. With this system you can easily adjust the level of difficulty and can customize a Workout to your needs. You can also switch from Exercise to Exercise in less than 15 seconds. The TRX focuses on your core. Having a strong core helps to prevent injuries and improves your posture and increases overall strength. This is because all of your movements are powered by the torso - the abs and back work together to support the spine during everyday activities and Exercise. Suspension Training builds core strength with every Exercise by creating an element of instability that calls on your core to provide balance and coordination. In real life, our bodies move to the side, backwards, forwards and diagonally. Shouldn’t we train the same way? Unlike traditional weight training that tends to be linear the TRX integrates all your motions and is similar to real life movement. This will bring a muscular balance to your body, increasing performance and preventing injuries.

Rather than sitting at a machine and working a solitary muscle group, the TRX requires much more total body work than any piece of machinery could offer. You have to actively engage the entire muscular system to maintain strong form, all the while getting a functional and challenging Workout.

Although the package is lightweight, easy to use, and can be stored and transported anywhere, this is not to be confused with one of those devices purchased from a late night infomercial, that’s used twice, and and never used again. The TRX produces real results. It comes with easy to follow instructional DVDs as well as a laminated instructional card which walks the you through a complete and comprehensive full body resistance Workout that is safe, efficient, and effective.

Simply put, this is the single most effective and versatile piece of equipment that I have used. TRX is super simple and inexpensive compared to our other pieces of equipment. I’m amazed at the functionality and effectiveness of the movements you can perform on it. The Exercises are simple & self explanatory but gives a person a great stretch & Workout.

This system allows you to maximize your training time and enables circuit style Workouts. The TRX offers convenience since you can take it anywhere you want to Workout. You can start very moderately, then you start challenging yourself to go to take it to the next level. Get one of these and use it - you won’t be disappointed! TRX works and is an amazing value for your money.
