Created by Randy Hetrick, an American Special Forces Commando, TRX is a muscle strengthening method that is attracting more and more followers. Focus on an activity that is intense, functional and varied, intended for all levels.
Strengthen yourself in a fun way with TRX
The TRX hardware consists of 2 adjustable straps, equipped with handles and connected together by a clip serving as an anchor point. Don't neglect the quality aspect: as always, good equipment guarantees safe training!
Door, branch, railing, vehicle... TRX equipment can be suspended from any solid attachment. The straps, light and very space-saving, can be used both indoors and outdoors. A practical way to train at any time and develop your physique in a different and fun way.
It is not one exercise but rather many possibly very varied exercises: standing position for squats, lying down for planks and abs… During a session, the upper and lower body work in turn. You can exercise the arm, back and pectoral muscles by pulling on the handles. By bracing your ankles there, you can vary the push-up or crunch exercises; or even combine abs and cardio by doing mountain climbers . The abdominals, in fact, are called upon almost constantly because the instability caused by the straps requires you to rebalance and work on your stability. Something to delight fans of sheathing !
TRX, as you will have understood, is an excellent way to use all muscle groups (back, arms, glutes, legs, abs with an abdominal strap for example, etc.). When practiced at a sustained pace with intensity, it also allows you to effectively work on cardio, lose weight, and strengthen your muscles. This makes it the perfect complement to many sports, strength or endurance. If its simplicity allows it to be practiced alone, it has become extremely popular in gyms where people readily share equipment, tips and new exercises and classes observed on YouTube or tested with a coach.
A complete sport, for everyone and… everywhere!
Beginners or accomplished athletes: TRX, like all variations of fitness, is aimed at all levels. The basic equipment and wide variety of exercises mean there is something for everyone. You still have to make sure you do the exercises correctly! For beginners, the ideal is to learn this activity in a gym with a trainer or a friend who already has some experience with this type of exercise. A coach in your club will be able to correct postures and bad movements, and will be able to define the appropriate pace and intensity, and offer the most relevant exercises according to your needs, your expectations and your level, obviously with the necessity to do repetitions of the work to be able to see concrete results.
Among TRX enthusiasts, most typically use Stimium® PreWorkOut Max to improve resistance to exercise and prepare the body for muscle strengthening loads, Pwr Creatine Tabs , for muscle strengthening and improved recovery and Stimium® Pro-Nrj Caps , for extra energy and vitality.
As for Crossfit, we also have a lot of requests for TRX for our Whey Stimium® [C] Whey , Stimium® Iso Hwy or Stimium® VegPro to maintain a good protein intake sustainably during the training phase since almost all muscle groups are requested.
You are then free to take out your straps in the most unusual places. TRX is excellent for your health, and with a balanced diet, it is an excellent way to gain strength while losing fat, whether you are an experienced athlete or a simple amateur practitioner. From the defense square to the TGV passageways, from the supermarket car park to the hotel lobby, from the office door to the fine sandy beach… We now meet TRX fans everywhere. We are waiting for your most unusual posts and photos on our Facebook page ! 🙂
