Training with TRX Bands

This month's trainer workout is going to highlight the almighty TRX Bands! TRX bands are a suspension training tool that you can find hanging around the gym. Suspension training is good for those who need: 

  • Low impact and low risk movement 

  • Core strengthening

  • Balance and agility 

  • Adaptable training levels 

  • Mastering bodyweight 


TRX Row: Back exercise that targets your shoulder blades, upper back and shoulders. Variations include: lowering your body closer to the floor, bending your knees, changing your grip, elevating your feet, or using only one arm.

 
 
 

TRX Jump Squat: Explosive yet low impact version of our classic jump squat. Use the TRX for an added kick of explosiveness! Make sure to land with a soft knee bend. 


TRX Pull Up: Beginner or intermediate pull up. Treat the TRX just like a pull up bar and feel your back and core lift you up. This is a great option for those who are not ready to do a full pull up on a bar! 

 
 

TRX single leg reverse lunge: This movement can be advanced for those who need balance training, but it's one of the best movements to get your balance exactly where you want it to be. It will burn your quads and kick your core into high gear to keep you steady.

 
 

TRX Core Halo: this version of a halo will help target your lats and your core. If you've ever used an ab roller, this will feel similar!
