My new favorite tools to shake up a workout is TRX Suspension Training. Suspension training can be used to improve strength, core stability, range of motion and balance.
TRX allows an individual to use their own body weight and gravity to exercise while engaging stabilizing muscles and your core. There is really nothing like it. With every exercise you engage your core muscles and engage all four extremities. This forces your entire body to participate in each exercise. Can you imagine a biceps curl that is also strengthening your abs and low back, improving your posture, and enhancing your balance? That is exactly what TRX does. No kidding!
TRX suspension training was developed by a Navy Seal. It is challenging enough to train elite athletes and every exercise can be easily adapted for beginners. The system hangs from the ceiling and by changing the angle of your body you are able to adjust the difficulty. Conventional exercises are just not able to encorporate all the body systems which need to be activated while suspension training. While completing each exercise you are also establishing a balance between your upper and lower body, the right and left side of your body.
Anyone who has ever trained with me knows I believe in changing it up. By no means would I recommend TRX replacing conventional strength training. But as a suppliment.....you bet! I love it. And honestly as a way to strengthen your core, I can't think of anything better.
