Several years ago, I started a thread about the TRX when I was just starting to use it. Although it took me a few months to decide I liked the TRX, I’ve reached the stage where I’m glad I have one at home. Most of the time when I have a session with my personal trainer, we use the TRX for at least part of the time.
The variety of exercises possible with the TRX is one of it's strong points. My personal trainer introduced me to the TRX. She is a retired teacher who likes to learn about new fitness options. She can use it with seniors or those rehabbing a knee or whatever, but at the same time she can easily come up with a full 45-min workout for me that includes exercises directly relevant to skiing. I don't get bored, because she comes up with a different variation every time. She helps makes sure we cover different parts of the body in a reasonable manner. Usually I use the TRX to build core strength, improve balance, build leg strength, and for stretching.
When I use the TRX on my own, I feel good spending 15-30 minutes doing a range of exercises. Early on, I stuck with the exercises that I learned from my trainer because I knew what good form felt like. As I’ve learned more about fitness training, I’m more likely to try out new TRX exercises I find online.
Have you used the TRX? If so, what do you think of it? Do you do TRX classes or work with the TRX on your own?
