Come join them for for this energizing and fun to Total Resistance Exercise(TRX) training.

TRX stands for Total Resistance Exercise. For some reason, many who are unfamiliar with TRX training are intimidated by the name. There is nothing to be intimidated about. The TRX system is relatively easy to learn and works well for individuals at all fitness levels. The accessibility of the system along with the capability to setup quickly for each exercise makes TRX an ideal tool for group strength training.

Their workouts consist of a series of movements with your hands or feet in the TRX straps. Over 300 moves have been developed including options for beginning through advanced. Efficient full-body strength training for all is what TRX is all about.

Why TRX?

• One advantage of working with the straps is that you can’t help but engage your core muscles while doing virtually every TRX move. Lack of core fitness leads to increasing problems for us as we age. If you train with TRX, you will develop core strength.
• The straps must be stabilized each time you move. This forces you to work not only the target muscles but a number of small stabilizer muscles. Keeping stabilizer muscles active can limit your risk of injury and can help improve your balance.
• TRX also results in high caloric burn while exercising because you will usually be holding a plank (core engaged) as you simulaneously work the main muscles you are targeting. The more muscle groups you engage, the higher your caloric burn.
