Mastering TRX

RK Team Fitness, Wellness Academy

What is TRX? How do I use it?

TRX stands for Total Resistance Exercises. This piece of equipment is super safe and effective, and can be used in several different exercises that incorporate the entire body. It can be used at home or at the gym. It only needs to be fastened to a beam or something sturdy and you’re all good to go. There are many benefits of using TRX, including improved strength, balance and stability. The core is engaged for almost any exercise using the TRX.

#1 – Squat to Curl

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the handles of the TRX in both hands with your palms facing upward. Extend your arms, then hinge your hips and bend your knees to lower into a squat position. Pull from the handles as you raise up, curling your arms at the top position. Repeat the movement.

#2 – Reverse Lunge

Begin in an upright standing position, holding the handles of the TRX in both hands with your palms facing downward. Take a big step backward with one leg and lower your back knee to the ground. Return to the starting position and repeat the movement on the opposite side.

Alternative Exercise:

To increase the intensity of exercise, loop one foot into the handle of the TRX, placing all of your weight on one leg. Bend your knee as you extend your other leg back. Raise back up to the starting position and repeat the movement.
