Work your whole body with TRX.
The birth of Total Resistance eXercise (TRX) training lies with the U.S. Navy’s “Sea, Air and Land” (SEAL) teams, when they needed to exercise but were lacking adequate time, space and equipment. To solve this problem, they developed a series of functional exercises by using just the belts of their parachutes.
The practice of TRX training is based primarily on exercises in suspension, where the practitioner does a sequence of exercises using belts or ropes while different parts of their body are on the floor.
The difference between TRX and other strength training genres is that the practitioners here can focus more in developing their core body strength and stability. Also, by taking advantage of your own weight, it’s possible to exercise almost every muscle of the body.
Benefits of Suspension Training

- Reduces potential for lower-back pain
Quick tip: make sure your lumbar and abdominal areas are always worked in parallel so that there’s better control of your movements and your hips won’t move forward or behind.
