What Is a TRX
TRX stands for total resistance exercise and is a suspension training system that allows the user to complete total body workouts using their own weight as resistance. A TRX has a simple setup, which involves placing the anchor behind a door or attaching the training system to a bar or wall. The goal of the TRX is to increase muscular strength, as well as improve balance and coordination in its users.

TRY Strap Exercises
TRX exercises use the strap to help you stabilize the body and provide some resistance as you go through each exercise. You may need to adjust the strap depending on which exercise you are performing. According to the TRX website, the closer your center of gravity is to the floor, and if you are directly underneath the anchor, the harder the exercise will be.

Because the TRX System is so unique, TRX offers live on demand classes to guide you through various workouts. You can also access free classes on their website that will take you through workouts such as total body conditioning, lower body strength, upper body strength and even yoga flow classes!

But with a few adjustments and tutorial videos, you will find that the TRX is an excellent tool to help you develop and maintain total body strength and stability.
