TRX Suspension training is a great way to not only get a total-body workout, but if your job has you traveling a bit, it’s also portable – and a great way to keep your workouts going on the road as well. But, to get the most out of your TRX Suspension Training system, you need to know how best to use it. Here’s some workout tips for TRX Suspension Training.
Tip #1: Start Correctly
When you begin, determine what the end range of motion should be in order to determine the right amount of tension you’ll need. As an example, if you’re doing a bicep curl, line the body up at the end of the movement (arms curled with hands at the temples), then bend at the elbows and pull the body toward where you have your TRX attached.
Tip #2: Watch your body’s alignment
As you get tired, you’re more likely to keep your lower back straight and stable. Not only does this take away from the effectiveness of your workout, but it can also lead to injury. As an example – let’s say you’re doing a plank. Keep your body aligned – from your ankles to your kneeds, hips, back and neck.
Tip #3: Work slowly
Moving quickly to get through your reps means you’re more likely to “saw” – where the straps slide in their loops, taking away from your overall efficiency and effectiveness. Moving slowly helps to target additional muscles that add to more muscle growth. And, keeping slow, even pressure is a great way to avoid sawing as well!
Tip #4: When things start to get tough, keep going!
The only way to make breakthroughs in your workouts, is to break through your current comfort levels. So, if an exercise starts to get tough, rather than quit, try modifying how you do it so you can finish your workout. Change your grip, change your foot position – change it up so you still have fun and accomplish your goals!
