The TRX suspension trainer is easily one of the most effective, dynamic, innovative, and ‘insert adjective here’ pieces of equipment any training facility could have. The TRX uses an individual’s bodyweight to create varying degrees of resistance based upon body positioning. Aside from using the TRX for obvious strength training purposes the TRX’s versatility transforms it into an awesome portable metabolic gym. Try this metabolic workout and send me hate mail afterwards:
- 30 seconds – atomic push ups
- 30 seconds – rest
- 30 seconds – body saw
- 30 seconds – rest
- 30 seconds – 1 leg squat
- 30 seconds – rest
- 30 seconds – 1 leg squat on opp. leg
- 30 seconds – rest
- 30 seconds – suspended row
- 30 seconds – rest
Perform this continuous circuit 10, 15, or 20 minutes. Focus on form, technique, and more importantly a deliberate and continuous tempo from start to finish for each ‘set’. By the way I saw they now make gummy bears supplemented with omega-3 fatty acid…best excuse I’ve ever heard to eat gummy bears to date. Couple this with the added health benefits of dark cacao and we just might be onto something both very decadent and healthy!
