An upper body bicep workout that uses your bodyweight as the leverage. You can make the exercise easier or harder by moving your feet further away or closer to the TRX anchor point.
The TRX Tricep Extension is similar to a Skull Crusher, except in this exercise, your weight is going to be your body, rather than a dumbbell or barbell.
Got a TRX? Well Then – you have a great and challenging exercise to have a go at! This is a fantastic way of training your back with a variety of different ways to spice it up!
This is a great exercise to do if you are having any sort of problems with your knees or ankles. The TRX squat allows you to lean back into the exercise and get tension more through your hamstrings and glutes as opposed to your knees while also keeping your ankles and knees in a more neutral position.
A body weight row often gets overlooked by many as it doesn’t look as cool or as challenging as other weighted rows. Dismissing this move is a big mistake. You can vary up the angle in which you row and make it very challenging indeed!
This exercise can be done from a standing up point right down to you being parallel to the floor!
Ahh TRX pistol squats… so much hate for an exercise so so good. Well hate is a strong word but not many of my clients get excited when I advise it’s next on the program but they definitely don’t deny that they do the trick for glute and hamstrings!
Tips for this exercise are pretty simple.
1. Try and make it so that your weight is not simply being lowered to the ground, direct your weight on a diagonal behind you and down. This will put emphasis on your hamstring and glutes
2. Don’t forget to tuck your hips and squeeze your glutes.
3. Don’t use your arms. You hands are like hooks and arms are like ropes. They are simply allowing you to lean back for the movement.
This ab exercise looks daunting at first but once you get into it – it’s not that hard actually.
At least that’s what I tell people in order to convince them to get themselves all stirrupped up. A ruse? Maybe! Either way this exercise is great for the abs!
To make this one more challenging and more about your obliques, when you tuck your knees up, have one knee in between your elbows and the other one on the other side of the elbow. As you extend out and then tuck back again, alternate with the knee position.
