1. Total Body Engagement

• The American Council on Exercise conducted a study to see the benefits of TRX Straps. 16 people did a 60-minute TRX class three times a week for eight weeks, and had various physical fitness and health markers measured both before and after the program.
  • First, people burned about 400 calories per session (which is the top of the ACE’s workout energy expenditure goal for a typical workout). 
  • Second, there were significant decreases in waist circumference, body fat percentage, and resting blood pressure. 
  • Third, people improved their muscle strength and endurance, including significant improvement in leg press, bench press, curl-up, and push-up tests. 
  • All of the results combined suggest that long-term adherence to a suspension training program is likely to decrease your likelihood of cardiovascular disease

2. Core Connection

• Because the TRX uses a single anchor point for mounting, any exercise you do will force you to resist rotation. “You’ll have to activate your core in order to stabilize,” says  Dan McDonogh, senior manager of performance training for Under Armour, who previously worked for TRX focusing on education and programming for the brand. So even if you’re not doing a core-specific workout, you’ll still be firing up your core. This is a great talking point in class to always encourage core connection. 

3. True to You

• Sticking to our True40 guidelines using modifications and challenges, you can have a whole class of people doing the same exercise, but each person can make the move harder or easier depending on the angle they set their body. With the TRX, if an exercise is feeling too hard or too easy, you can change the load immediately by simply changing the angle at which you’re performing the posture. Always being encouraging clients to take the challenges while listening to their body to receive the best results and experience from the straps.

We are always uploading and adding new postures to the portal. Challenge yourself this week by teaching a new TRX posture and always encourage the clients to challenge themselves as well!
