The TRX sounds like a great new tool for your fitness “toolbox”
By Christina | September 22, 2008
I love to find new products that enhance my workouts or target different areas of my body. The TRX sounds like a versatile aid which allows the user to tailor it to their specific needs. An 8lb dumbbell cannot be adjusted, it is a 8lb dumbbell.
We are all unique and as such our body’s are all a little but different, but we each fill our lives with a mix of physical activities that can require specific training. TRX Suspension Training allows you to instantly adjust not only the level of difficulty for each exercise, but you can easily customize any workout quickly and easily.
Unlike many other workout devicea, you can easily switch from exercise to exercise in less than 15 seconds. This allows you to maximize your training time and enables circuit style workouts. Some of the benefits/ features of the TRX are:
Assist in building core strength - Having a strong core will prevent injuries, improve posture and increase overall strength. This is because all of our 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.
Real life simulation - In real life, our bodies move to the side, backwards, forwards and diagonally. The Trx system encourages multiplanar training (frontal, sagittal, transverse) which integrates all your motions and mimics real life movement. This will bring a muscular balance to your body, increasing performance and preventing injuries.
Improve your athletic performance - Suspension training builds superior muscular balance, joint stability, mobility, and core strength helping you perform better in any sport. It also improves posture and prevents injuries.
Extremely Portable, Fast Set-Up - Because the TRX weighs less than 2 lbs, sets up in under a minute, and stores in a small bag, you can use it just about anywhere.
