While you might all blame it down to your dedication levels, this might have something to do with thinking that fitness can only be achieved by attending a gym. Your cardio and your weights are beneficial tools, no doubt, but they aren`t for everyone. Besides, the repetitive nature of such exercises without visible payoff often puts people off the idea of exercising.
TRX Training
The smart thing to do is to find an option that actually makes you stronger and fitter and is also interesting. This is where TRX training comes in.
This was developed by a former Navy SEAL and focuses solely on developing your core. Unlike normal workouts, it actually makes you stronger from day one. The name TRX refers to Total Body Resistance Exercises.
Top five TRX techniques
Here are five TRX techniques, for everyone from the amateur to the expert.
1. The TRX push up
This is suitable even for beginners. It is much like a standard push-up, however your feet are elevated.
Stick your toes through the TRX straps such that they form a hook around them. Face down, raise your body in push up position such that your palms are bearing your weight. Lower your chest and make sure it falls below the elbows.
2. TRX chest press
Spread out your feet such that the distance between them is equal to the distance between your shoulders. Hold on to the handles by extending your hands up and stretch your arms in front of you, level with your shoulders. Lean to put weight forward. Stand back at the beginning position. Repeat.
This too can safely be tried by amateurs.
3. TRX standing fallout
This is the perfect exercise to develop your abdominal muscles. This is not for the amateur, although it can be categorised as intermediate level. Stand just as you would in the beginning of a TRX chest press as explained above. Fall forward slowly. Simultaneously, extend your arms upwards until they form a straight line with the sides of your bodies. You will instantly feel the workout influencing your abs.
4. TRX lunge
This is similar to the push up in the sense that it is like conventional exercise with only the positioning of the feet changed. Hook your left foot on the TRX strap, and keep the right one steady on the floor. Lower down your body to perform a lunge, but make sure the bend in your knee stays. This can be easily done by an amateur, and will help develop abdominal muscles as well as legs.
5. TRX squat
Hold the handles such that they are in line with your waist. Keep elbows on the side. Now, slowly perform a squat, and stretch your arms such that they are right in front of your eyes. Stand back up. Repeat. This can be performed by a person at any level of TRX training.
TRX exercises are simple – and really effective.
