TRX Suspension Training And Fitness Workout

Suspension training originated in the Navy SEALS, was adapted by Gold’s Gym for use with TRX, and has grown into a very popular fitness trend. Suspension training is great because you can target all of your muscle groups using just one piece of equipment that only requires that you have some type of anchoring point to secure the system.

Arm Circles- For this exercise, you will start in the forearm plank position and then go through a full extension of each arm, holding for a brief moment at the peak of each rep before flexing back down to the starting position and repeating on the opposite side.

Biceps Curls- For this exercise, you will stand tall with your arms by your side, brace your core hard so that there is a nice straight line from the top of your head through your body until it reaches the bottom of your feet, and slowly bring your hands up towards the suspension training system as high as possible without bending your elbows, hold for a brief moment at the peak of the movement then lower yourself back down to the starting position.

Core Curls- For this exercise, you will lay on your side with only one foot in the cradles of the suspension trainer, place the opposite arm to the side that you are laying on behind your head, and brace your core hard so that there is a nice straight line from the top of your head through your body until it reaches the bottom of your feet. Then proceed to slowly bring your legs up towards the suspension training system as high as possible without letting your hips rotate open. Hold for a brief moment at the peak of the movement, then slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position.
