NOT YOUR AVERAGE KIND OF WORKOUT

One thing you must realize before beginning to train with these exercise straps is that strength training with them is unlike using dumbbells or any other weighted equipment.Most strength training equipment has a set load that you must lift and lower throughout the motion. But TRX straps are different in this aspect. Their resistance varies throughout the range of the motion. As you move to the top of the exercise, TRX strap is fully stretched and exerts maximum resistance and reduces when you move down. This feature makes them excellent training straps for people recovering from injuries, beginners or the ones learning a new exercise.
