All Things TRX

January 6, 2012 by danny · 4 Comments 

When I moved back to Illinois and started training people out of my home, one of the first things I did was purchase a TRX Suspension Trainer. I’m really glad I did this, because when you are working in a small area, you want to maximize the space you have with minimal equipment.  And you can get a ton done with TRX straps.  I’ve also seen a number of trainers (and “general fitness enthusiasts”) talk about how handy TRX straps are when traveling – just pop it in your suitcase and you can get a workout in ANYWHERE.

If you train at your house or own a gym, you definitely need to include the TRX Suspension Trainer in your toolbox!

While there are many, many exercises to choose from, I decided to film some of my favorite for you to check out and include in your training programs going forward.

Please note: when I learned now to insert words into my youtube videos in 2011, that was a BIG deal for me.  BUT, I still haven’t learned how to add music.  Recently, my brother-in-law (Tom) tried to teach me how to do it over the phone.  But my computer/technology learning disability was too strong for his good directions.  However, in 2012 I will learn this near impossible task! :)  For now though, no music.  You’ll just have to enjoy watching me train… because that is VERY enjoyable, right?  Right! …

What are some of your favorite TRX exercises?  If you haven’t used a TRX yet and are interested in getting one, just click on this link and type in TRX Suspension Training Pro Pack in the search engine.

Happy Training!

    Really like your 2-leg gliding leg curl! I love doing plank variations with the TRX. Very challenging. What do think about an inverted plank, like the starting position for the gliding leg curl? Maybe with alternating feet off the bench?

    Steve,

    Do you mean inverted plank as in holding yourself isometrically in the inverted position?
