TRX Basics: Core Workout

Posted on Thursday, May 9, 2013 under Trainers' Tips with No Comments

One of the best benefits of a TRX workout is that you?ll always be working more than one part of your body; more specifically, you?ll always be using your core. Additionally, TRX workouts allow you to adjust the difficultly not by putting more plates on or getting another set of dumbbells, but by adjusting your starting position of feet or hands so that your body is moving on different angles. The variety of movements and range of difficulty you can get from this one piece of equipment makes the TRX an amazing addition to anyone?s exercise routine.

Ab Plank

Works your lower abs, quads, shoulders

Recommended: 2 ? 3 sets of 12 ? 15 repetitions each leg

• Adjust TRX straps to 6-8 inches from ground.
• Kneel and slip one foot into each trx lower handle and walk your hands away from feet until you are in plank position.
• Using lower abs, bend knees and pull them towards chest.
• Move in fluid motion, exhaling as you pull knees in.
• Keep shoulders away from ears and stay in straight line (don?t drop hips).
• Challenge:?the further away from the center you start, the more difficult the movement.

Standing Oblique

Works your obliques, shoulders

Recommended: 2 ? 3 sets of 12 ? 15 repetitions each leg

• Adjust to hip height.?Intertwine handles together (watch how to here.)
• Take a step to the right and drop hips to the right.
• Using arms and right oblique, pull yourself to an upright position.
• Lowly lower yourself to starting position.
• Challenge: the closer your feet are to the center, the more difficult the movement.
