A good working capacity with the plank is required to perform this exercise. Although this may seem like an incline pushup, there is also a rotational force running through the body, due to only one foot bound within the TRX strap. Therefore, this exercise is not only a great upper body exercise.
TRX Fly Pushups performed unilaterally, with one arm on the (stable) floor, and the other using the (unstable TRX strap. This effectively adds a shoulder core stability element to the traditional floor pushup for greater benefit.
The TRX Atomic Push Up (similar to Pike Push Up) is a two part exercise, making it more challenging than a regular push Up. The components of this exercise are a full pushup, followed by a tuck (ie: driving knees to chest). This combination augments core strength requirements, as well as shoulder strength , as the body angle changes through this movement.
The TRX Hip Thrust is a good movement to work the posterior chain, meaning the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. You are in a supine position (ie: lying on your back) when executing this exercise, and have the use of your arms on the floor to support you
The TRX Suspended Jackknife exercise is a dynamic tuck position, bringing your knees to your chest. It is a strong core activator while working the upper body isometrically to stabilize you through the movement.
The TRX Sprinter start is a good way to incorporate a usually stationary plank into a dynamic movement. This exercise will target your lower body muscles, with the key being a strong hip extension/ hip thrust. .Because it is a good dynamic exercise, it can also be utilized for cardio benefit.
The TRX Prone Pike exercise is similar to the TRX Suspended Jackknife, only this time, you are performing a pike, as opposed to a tuck, which greatly increases the difficulty of this movement. Again, this is a great core activator, but if you are somewhat weak, it can target the hip flexors too much
The TRX Kneeling Fallout exercise is a variation of a Swiss ball rollout or the Ab Roller movement. The emphasis is placed on the core muscles, plus a good amount of shoulder stability is required.
The TRX Body Saw is a dynamic form of the plank position, executed on the elbows, in order to get more ab/core recruitment. Great for dynamic shoulder stability and core activation, especially in the Saggital/font-to-back plane of movement.
