TRX Suspension TrainingThis is one of the most effective and efficient way of building strength, core stability speed and a high level of fitness. This type of training revolves around using your body as the weight and TRX as the tool. Stabilisation is the key to perfection, ensuring that your body is in the correct position. In some cases it is essential that you get this right as some of the exercises require balancing routines or body suspension. The exercises below illustrate these movements.

On the downward movement, bend the elbows till they are at 90 degrees. Upward movement till the arms are straight and locked in to place. This ensures stability. For advanced training raise one foot off the ground and angle your body accordingly.
