All About TRX Straps and The Training In Suspension Category

What Are TRX Straps/Bands?

TRX Straps/Bands are the best up and coming exercise equipment out on the market today. I first found out about the TRX from my friend who I trained with in martial arts. We have been training together for over 5 years in the art of Muay Thai kickboxing and were always looking for ways to complement this martial art. We’ve tried many different fitness programs such as cross fit and plyometrics to help strengthen our skills but found nothing more beneficial and the results rewarding other than the TRX Straps/bands.

For those of you that have never heard of TRX Straps/bands, I can start out by describing all of the parts involved. The components of the TRX Straps/bands include the suspension anchor, the intermediate anchor loops, the anchor carabiner, the bottom anchor loop, the main carabiner, the equalizer loop, the locking loop, the adjustment tabs, cam buckles, handles and foot cradles. The total weight of the TRX Straps/bands is merely 1.79 pounds. Made from industrial grade webbing, the TRX can hold up to 1000 pounds. It is constructed with heavy gauge bonded nylon thread and is double-stitched for added strength and durability. To add to this, the adjustable non-slip cam buckles are also rated to withstand 1000 pounds each. The handle grips are very comfortable but are also durable and club grade. The attached integrated foot cradles are made with neoprene padding for both traction and comfort. The carabiner is extremely sturdy and has a locking tooth to ensure training is safe, even with the most aggressive users. The rated strength for the carabiner is to 400 pounds.

As you can see, the construction detail of the straps is an extremely high grade, durable and most importantly safe for use both indoors and outdoors. The TRX Straps/bands are not your ordinary conventional fitness tool but rather was created after many years of extensive research and development. Anyone can use the TRX with confidence.

Where can the TRX Starps/Bands be Used?

Benefits Of Training With TRX bands

So where can the TRX Straps/bands be used? Because of its versatility, the TRX can be used confidently and safely indoors and outdoors on a non-slip surface. In order for the TRX to be used optimally, your workout area should be flat and should also measure roughly 6 x 8 feet wide. This space will allow you to perform all exercises on the TRX whether you’re performing an exercise standing or if you’re suspended off the ground. Because the TRX can be used anywhere, all you would need is a sturdy and secure anchor point that can support your body weight. Anything from street signs, squat bars, pull-up bars, tree branches, light posts, etc. are all examples of places where you can attach the TRX Straps/bands. You can also purchase different anchoring solutions available for the TRX.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THE BEST TRX STRAP EXERCISE?

Anyone who is looking to keep in shape will certainly benefit. Let’s look at 3 groups who find this form of exercise particularly beneficial. We will also touch on one group who will benefit and are quite often overlooked in terms of home exercise therapy:

Those Looking To Lose Weight

While it is crucial to follow a healthy, well-balanced and nutritious diet if you are set on losing weight, you also need to carry out some regular exercise. Trying to do this on your own will probably mean you start with the best intentions, but then wonder what the best workout routine is and how to keep progressing.

The flexibility that the use of these straps offers is second to none. The TRX strap exercises for weight loss are many and varied.  Using the exercise videos you will know how many repetitions you need to do as you gradually build up your strength, stamina, and shape.The only thing you will lose are those unwanted pounds!  And you can do these exercises in the comfort of your own home at a time that suits you.

Firming And Building Muscle

Free weights may be effective when it comes to building muscle, but they also bring the potential for injury and potential pain. When using TRX straps/bands you can very gradually increase the resistance you are working against. This will ensure that you get just enough to increase the size and shape of your muscles on a gradual basis.

Slowly does it, but increase on a regular basis. This way you will build that muscle, keep it firm and keep it for good.

Keeping In Shape

This group of users is those who already have a decent body shape but do not want to let it slip. Exercises with TRX Straps are perfect for this group. You may not need to workout as regularly as others, but when you do, you want it to be effective.

These straps will allow you to do that simply by unpacking them, preparing them, warming up and getting started. Nothing could be more convenient.

ACCESS TO TRX STRAPS/BANDS EXERCISES CHANNEL

We touched on it above but it really is worth going into further detail. This is a unique offer and dependent upon the set of exercise straps you purchase.

In addition to the catalog of recorded workout routines, you can choose to exercise along with their fitness team – LIVE!. This is the great encouragement for you, and has been likened to having a live dance and workout studio in your home – or wherever you are!

While this is a great advantage, the fact that there will be no more guess work and no more trial and error when you try to do exercises correctly is a major plus. You are shown exactly how to do each exercise, including the things not to do.

This greatly reduces the chances of you hurting yourself and allows you to keep on getting fitter faster.

While we are on the subject of ‘hurt’, one group that is often overlooked in terms of getting regular exercise are those who have suffered an accident or injury. Let’s look at what exercises using TRX Straps can do for those who are going through:

TRX EXERCISE FOR REHABILITATION
