TRX - Total Body Resistance Exercise

It’s suspension training that uses an athlete's body weight and gravity as resistance to build strength and improve  mobility. Using a series of straps attached to a wall or a frame, TRX was developed for players to stay in shape no matter where they are.

The Squat

1.Adjust the TRX straps to mid-length, and stand facing the anchor point.

2.Hold the handles in front of you with your elbows soft, and stepbackward until there is slight tension on the straps.

3.Without leaning backward, lower your hips down and back as low as you arecomfortable going.

4.Squeeze your glutes as you return to a standing position

The Chest Press

1.Fully lengthen the TRX straps and stand facing away from the anchor point.

2. Begin on the balls of your feet and with your arms extended directly below your shoulders, pushing against the handles of the straps.

3. Keeping your body in a straight plank, lower yourself until your elbows are at about 90degrees.

4. Straighten your arms and brace your core as you press back up to the startingposition.
