Exercises

Man performing the TRX body saw with crunch
The TRX body saw with crunch may look easy but this subtle movement will make your core burn. It will help you to develop the perfect plank as you rock forward and backwards. You’ll feel your core, abdominals and shoulder muscles working more when you slide back.
Man performing the TRX standing roll out
The TRX Anti-Extension Fallout is precisely to avoid spinal extension by maintaining a very strong plank throughout the movement. The TRX Kneeling Fallout is an easier version of this exercise and should be mastered before performing the straight legged Fallout.
Man performing the TRX mountain climber
The TRX Mountain Climber exercise begins in a similar position as the Suspended Jackknife. The difference is you are performing a 'Mountain Climber' which is alternating knees to chest, as opposed to both at the same time. Great exercise for explosive training, which working shoulder and core stability.
Girl performing a TRX Hamstring curl
The TRX Hamstring Curl is a preceeding movement towards the Supine Hip Extension to Leg Curl. It's a good beginning posterior chain (Glutes, hamstrings, lower back) activator and is loved by runners around the world.
Girl performing TRX Squat
The TRX Pistol Squat to Row Is similar to the Squat Row, with an added balance component, as it is performed on one leg. As with the Squat Row, the Pistol Squat to Row is a combination exercise that not only is good for targeting both the upper and lower body at the same time.
Man performing a TRX Front Squat Jump
The TRX Font Squat Jump is a great Dynamic exercise that can build power in the lower limbs. It's a variation of Jump Squats, but because of the front inclined angle of this movement, will pace more explosive emphasis on the calves for the jump takeoff, such as the Superman.
