There are many benefits of adding TRX suspension training to your training program, no matter if you are a beginner or top level athlete.

TRX benefits

First, the setup is easy and the possibilities are almost endless. It is a great tool for stretching, mobility and strength training. You can make it as easy or as hard as you want, using just the straps and your own bodyweight. Put it up pretty much everywhere, in the gym, at the beach, the park, in the woods… anywhere you have a beam, palm tree or light post.

Working with your own body weight, means that the chance of injury is very low. It is a great way to work the basic movement of a squat or a pull up.

TRX suspension training makes you aware of stabilization and core use… all core all the time!

When you have the handles to hold on to, it makes you feel safer, and you can perform more challenging exercises with perfect form, before progressing to the next level.

This tool is super versatile and easy to have fast transitions. From one exercise to the next, moving from press exercise to pull and rotation, with little to no changes in the straps. It makes for a great flow!

TRX Suspension Training is a great way to master the pull up or a push up. You can do it in an angle starting at a small incline and step by step, make it more challenging. Also, doing one leg exercises or one arm exercises, we force our muscles to isolate, working on our weak points, and gaining overall strength.

For all activities, this tool is a great addition to have in your arsenal. For example, if you are a golfer, it is a great way to work on rotation, core stabilization, and imitate your golf swing. Using the straps for dynamic stretching and warm up before you hit the driving range, will definitely improve your overall abilities on the course.

The TRX planks and crunches is, in my opinion, some of the best core training exercises you can do, putting your feet in the straps, crunches, pikes, obliques, it doesn’t get any better or more challenging.

Earn your progression.

An example of leveling up on a basic exercise would be first a step back lunge, holding onto the handles, facing the anchorpoint. After we master this, take one leg of the ground and now we are doing one leg lunge.

Next we turn, put one foot in the straps, turning away from the anchorpoint and now we are doing suspended lunges. Lots of stabilization and balance going on now.

If you want even more of a challenge, add a weight or a jump. We can always add, just make sure you always master the basic movement before you level up.

 

My experience with TRX SuspensionTraining.

I  have used TRX since 2012, and it continues to be one of my main tools I use for my clients, and myself.

Top athletes and organizations have TRX training as a permanent staple of their program or facility, from New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, Liverpool football club, and PGA golfers.

Grab your straps, and get after it!
