If the weight room is as familiar to you as a space station, TRX will be your new closest quality training partner. TRX makes different muscles of your own body solid. Before you take the plunge, though, Crunch Wellness Director Mitch Rice breaks down the rudiments of this powerful workout instead of hammering Schwarzenegger-style weights, you’ll be pushing and pulling through a wellness program that’s truly funny. Come see how it works!

Say goodbye to weights.

They’re cumbersome, hard to move, and you won’t miss them.

Exercise centers are increasingly offering these classes as part of an extensive exercise program. And (genuine insider tip) Crunch rec centers offer free TRX classes. You simply need to ask!

Come dressed for a test.

This may not be the ideal opportunity for comfortable shorts or sweatshirts. You should wear lightweight, unlimited, breathable TRX training gear. Also, be sure to bring a towel and plenty of water because these bodyweight exercises won’t feel like anything you’ve done recently.

You can start at any level.

There is room for stars and novices in this exercise. Another advantage of using the TRX is that the training can move forward or backward without much effort depending on the capabilities of an individual. If you don’t have extraordinary parity, you can start with a wide back base with two feet on the ground. As you become more grounded and your sturdiness improves, you can work your way up to using only one leg.

You won’t be hanging around, but you’ll feel a bit like Spiderman. The TRX suspension trainer has made considerable progress from its parachute model planned by former Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick. The new model is lightweight, versatile and can be hung from an entry bracket, splitter bracket or mechanical S-Frame. Each TRX hangs from a main carabiner that supports two six-foot straps with handles and foot rests on the clasps. There are also cam locks and toggle tabs to lengthen and shorten the straps on both sides.

The movements that you will do in this TRX training plan for beginners will probably be natural.

However, if you have a great mentor, they can also have great names. Some knowledgeable resistance prep workouts can be performed on the TRX, such as push-ups, pull-ups, squats, jumping jacks, and push-ups. My most beloved exercise is known as New Kids on the Block. This is essentially a squat with a single line of arms and a 180-degree turn. Start with your feet shoulder-width apart in front of your grip point and one hand moving the handle to the side of your midsection with your shoulder straight. Twist both knees, widen the arm holding the handle, and drop your butt to the ground. Pivot from the hips following the ground with the opposite hand. Drive through your heels, pulling through your arm holding the TRX. Complete the revolution and carefully tap the straps as high as possible with the opposite hand. NKOTB works your abdominal area, lower body and your core. If you really want to push yourself, complete three sets of 15 reps on each side as fast as you can.
