TRX is a versatile tool for total-body workouts. The system is composed of durable nylon straps that can carry considerable weight which make them suitable for suspension training. There is no other weight being carried by users aside from their own bodies. One end of the straps have handle and foot cradle. The other end goes to the mount which provides the overhead support necessary to make everything work. Pick a suitable TRX anchor for the space that you have. There are three primary options to choose from: the ceiling mount, the door mount, and the tree mount.
Ceiling Mount
This is the most ideal anchor setup as it provides users with the ability to move around in any direction. They can go forward and backward. They can shift from side to side. Experts advice placing the anchor point at least six feet away from any wall for excellent mobility. This will make it possible to perform pull-up exercises and movements with similar orientations. Be sure to test the ability of the ceiling to support your weight. If the house is old and the overhead beams are in disrepair, then this might not be a good idea. Consider other mounting options instead.
Door Mount
Using a door mount is a clever solution for people who need to travel frequently. If you are always moving from one hotel to another, then maintaining a fitness regimen can be difficult. The TRX anchor are light and portable but you will have to mount them somewhere in your hotel room. The door offers a way to do this without leaving any trace. Ceiling mounts depend on screws whereas door mounts only require a removable stopper. Slide it onto the top of an open door next to the hinges. Close it and start your exercise. Take it out when you’re done.
Tree Mount
This exercise equipment is not confined to interiors. It is not like others that have metal parts which can rust and malfunction due to rain. You can set it up outside and leave it there if you wish. For example, many will mount it on a tree branch so they can exercise in the shade while enjoying the space and the fresh air. They might also install it on a rod or similar overhanging items around their home.
It’s important to test the load-bearing capacity of the mount before engaging in vigorous exercises to avoid accidents.
