3 Effective TRX Exercises You Can Do Anywhere
The TRX suspension trainer is a versatile piece of equipment that allows you to work your entire body using just your own bodyweight. In this blog post, we'll go over three beginner-friendly exercises you can do with the TRX to target your legs, back, and triceps.
1. Squats:
Start with the handles close together and your feet shoulder-width apart.
Squat down as if you're sitting in a chair, keeping your knees over your toes.
Use your arms for assistance as needed, but gradually try to rely less on them.
Aim for 10-20 repetitions and 2-3 sets.
2. Rows:
Move your feet closer together and extend your arms straight out in front of you.
Lean back slowly, keeping your core engaged and hips stable.
Pull the handles towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Experiment with different foot positions to adjust the difficulty.
Do 10-20 repetitions for 2-3 sets.
3. Tricep Extensions (aka "Wings"):
Face away from the TRX and grab both handles with your hands near your shoulders.
Walk out as far as you can while maintaining control.
Step back slightly and raise your hands overhead.
Bend your elbows, bringing your wrists behind your head, and then push back up to extend your arms.
Keep your core engaged and hips stable throughout the movement.
Perform 10-20 repetitions for 2-3 sets.
Bonus Tip:
Remember to warm up before your workout and cool down afterwards.
Start with lighter weights or shorter sets if you're new to TRX training.
Listen to your body and take breaks when needed.
With these exercises and a little dedication, you can use the TRX to build strength, improve your fitness, and achieve your workout goals!
