If your home doesn’t have space for extra gym equipment, or you want to continue your workouts while traveling, you might want to consider a TRX Suspension Training System. Along with being compact and easy to travel with, the TRX Suspension Training System is also quite cost effective. With suspension training, you use your own body weight to provide resistance, and engage many muscle groups at the same time. Plus, while you’re doing your workout, you’re also engaging your core, so you get core-stabilization exercises at the same time!
“TRX trains for reactive stability, says Chris Frankel, head of human performance at TRX. “If your core isn’t tight, you’ll lose balance on the straps. Bracing your core before you move becomes second nature. You’re relying on your own ability to marry your center of gravity with your base of support.”
