WHY USE TRX STRAPS?

These TRX Straps have been used for such purposes since quite a long time and they have proved effective and efficient in toning your muscles gradually. You can vary the stress and tension on the muscles as you regain your strength.
A WORD OF CAUTION
Working out with TRX Straps seems great and it will yield desired results as long as you keep certain things in mind. You must know that they become greater as you move forward or in simpler terms, the level of resistance is not uniform throughout the exercise. As you approach the end of motion you will find that resistance will be greatest at this point.
This doesn’t sound half as terrible but it isn’t necessary that your muscles are strongest at that point or can take the tension. It is also not an easy task to estimate the resistance level of certain TRX Straps or tubes. It may create problems in your workout and therefore you must always buy TRX Straps after thorough analysis. As these bands are susceptible to wear and tear, make sure there isn’t any visible tear in them (even if it is small) before getting started with exercises.
