About TRX for Beginners
You may have seen those black-and-yellow straps hanging from the ceiling at your gym and wondered how the heck to use them. This deceptively simple piece of equipment is the TRX Suspension Trainer, and it was developed to deliver an incredible total-body workout using only your body weight as resistance. If you want to define and tone your entire body while developing functional fitness and looking and feeling your best, then you should try TRX Suspension Training. Give this short total-body workout for beginners a try and see for yourself how suspension training can help you achieve any fitness goal.
One of the key TRX’s benefits is that you are able to complete endless number of exercises with a single training tool.
Given that you can boundlessly adjust your body position to add or decrease resistance, this workout is safe and effective for people of all fitness levels.
TRX is portable and provides greater performance and functionality than large exercise machines costing thousands of dollars.
The centre of gravity in the human body lies right above our hips along the central axis of the body. Centre of gravity changes with every move of your body.
However, it stays within the limits of the body when you do regular common activities. While moving, the body controls the centre of gravity with muscles.
Doing sports and everyday exercises require our bodies to move in various planes. Suspension training enables you to do multi-planar exercises, just the way we do in every movement we produce. It does not require that you sit down and do an exercise focused on one isolated muscle in a single plane.
FYI:
-If you are over 40, not accustomed to any exercise, or more than 20 pounds overweight, consult with your physician. Unless you have a known health risk, your doctor will probably encourage you to begin a run-walk program, but it’s always wise to check. -Schedule your workouts. You won’t find time for them unless you make time for them. Put them in your phone, computer, daily appointment planner, on the front of your refrigerator, or wherever else you keep your schedule.
-Expect bad days. Everyone has them, but they pass quickly, and the next workout is often better than the previous one. So stick with the program.
-Don’t rush. In the fitness world, rushing leads to injuries and discouragement. Be patient, and go slow. The goal is to reach 30 minutes of continuous running, not to set any records getting there.
