TRX for Beginners



One of the gyms that we belong to has TRX Equipment. I actually enjoy it, I am still learning moves and all you can do. You can also do this from home with equipment you can buy somewhere as simple as Walmart.

Below are so simple beginners TRX Workouts...

The 7 SIMPLE MOVES are Push, Pull, Plank, Hinge, Lunge, Squat and Rotate.
Using your body as your machine, TRX will help you unleash your full fitness potential.
So let’s get started!
First up, PUSH (chest press) -
Hold TRX handles in front of you. Brace your core and lean your weight into the handles, making sure your hips, shoulders, knees and ankles are aligned. Push back to start.

Next, PULL (low row) -
Lean back holding TRX handles. Brace your core forming a strong plank with your shoulders pulled down and back. Maintaining your plank, pull your chest up to your hands. Lower yourself down in one slow, controlled movement.
Third, PLANK -
Plank up into a push-up position keeping your hands directly under your shoulders. Brace your core and make sure your head, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles are aligned. Lower your knees to the ground.

Next, HINGE -
Extend arms, pressing down on handles, knees bent. Bend forward from the hips, maintain a lengthened spine, extend the knees. Press on handles, extend at hips to upright position.

Then, LUNGE -
With one leg through both foot cradles on the TRX, ground yourself through your working leg. Push your hips down and back, and lunge down until your front knee is bent to 90 degrees. Keep your core braced and your chest up the entire time. Drive through your front foot using glute and hamstring to bring you back up.

6th is SQUAT -
Stack your elbows under shoulders, with feet hip width apart. Lower hips down and back, weight in heels. Drive through heels, squeeze glutes and lift chest.

And finally, ROTATE -
Place arms in a "T", body in half kneeling position. Maintain lengthened spine, shift hips forward, rotate torso away from rear leg, side bend away. Shift hips back to return hip to neutral, arms down.

Why do TRX?

TRX body weight training builds muscle, burns fat, increases flexibility and improves endurance. To get YOU going, we developed 7 simple TRX moves that anyone -- at any level -- can use to get started. With these 7 movements, you can perform 100+ exercises that work every body part and start achieving your personal fitness goals.

I went to Amazon and depending on what you really want as far as quality, discs and more it goes from $50-$100.

I know that sounds like a lot but if you add it to stuff you already have at home and you don't have a gym membership in the long run it is a good deal.

Remember this post is just for beginners, there is so much more you can do.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
