Description
Learn about TRX and whether its right for you. Spoiler, it is.
A
A
We're
going
to
talk
about
the
TRX
suspension,
training
system
that
we
have
here
at
parks
and
recreation
and
suspension
training
is
really
big
in
the
industry
right
now,
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
it
throughout
the
industry.
So
what
can
you
tell
us
about
suspension
training?
First
of
all,
what
is
it
yes?
Well.
B
You
can
see
that
it
is
a
set
of
straps
a
lot
of
times.
People
think
that
these
straps
are
elastic
and
they
stretch
but
they're,
not
they're,
nylon
and
they're,
very,
very
durable.
They
can
withstand
thousands
of
pounds
of
load.
So
don't
worry
about
people
sometimes
are
worried
about
being
too
heavy
for
them.
You
won't
be.
They
have
a
single
anchor
point
at
the
very
very
top,
and
that
is
what
makes
this
suspension
trainer
unique.
B
The
two
straps
branch
out
from
this
this
little
loop
right
here
and
you
engage
in
it
either
with
your
hands
and
the
handles
or
your
feet
in
the
foot
cradles
and
you
perform
a
series
of
exercises
against
gravity.
So
it's
basically
body
weight
and
gravity,
and
it's
awesome
because
not
only
is
it
effective
and
safe,
but
it
can
work
for
any
fitness
level
right.
A
B
Absolutely
you
can
have
somebody
who's
very
fit.
Somebody
who's
moderately
fit
somebody
who's
a
little
bit
more
deconditioned
somebody
with
the
weight
loss
goal,
somebody
with
a
little
bit
more
fragile,
knee
or
elbow
or
shoulder
somebody
who's.
Maybe
an
active
ager,
a
youth
athlete
you
can
have
all
of
those
people
in
the
same
experience
they
can
all
have
the
same
class
at
the
same
time,
because
the
changes
can
be
made
to
the
movement
patterns
so
that
they
work
for
everybody.
B
B
So,
of
course,
with
any
fitness
class
we're
going
to
warm
up
and
most
of
the
people
that
come
have
been
coming,
so
they
understand
and
are
familiar
with,
the
Suspension
Trainer,
but
I
get
a
lot
of
people
who
are
new
and
it
is
a
little
bit
intimidating.
I
mean
you
walk
into
a
room,
and
you
see
these
straps
hanging
from
the
ceiling.
B
B
Nothing
obvious
about
these,
so
now
you
don't
just
imagine
the
exercises,
so
an
instructor
has
to
lead
you
that's
why
we
offer
these
great
classes
right.
So
the
first
thing
I
teach
people
how
to
do
is
how
to
shorten
and
lengthen
the
straps
because
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
stuff
to
learn.
But
you
really
can't
just
learn
it
all
in
one
class
you
you
will
be
exposed
to
it
and
it's
a
very
short
learning
curve.
So
the
first
thing
we
do
is
we
learn
how
to
shorten
and
lengthen
the
strap.
B
So
I'll
teach
you
how
to
do
that
right
now.
The
same
way
I
would
with
any
participant
okay.
So
this
is
the
adjustment
tab,
and
this
is
a
buckle
now
you'll
notice,
an
see
that
your
buckle
is
slightly
different
than
mine.
That's
just
because
there
are
different
versions
of
my
same
piece
of
equipment.
They
work
the
same
way
they
just
a
little
bit
different.
So
we
want
to
shorten
our
straps.
B
You
grab
the
tab
kind
of
step
back
and
create
a
little
bit
tension
in
your
straps,
and
then
you
just
pull
on
the
buckle
slightly
or
push
on
it,
and
you
just
pull
the
strap
all
the
way
up.
That's
how
you
shorten
them.
So
it's
very
simple,
but
if
you
don't
know
how
to
do
it
right,
it
makes
you
feel
uncomfortable.
So
I
always
want
to
make
sure
users
know
how
to
lengthen
them.
B
This
is,
this
is
almost
fully
extended.
Okay
and
then
this
one
has
little
mid
marks
in
it.
So
I
know
when
I
ask
my
people
to
go
to
take
it
to
mid
length
and
then,
if
I
want
to
take
you
to
short,
which
I'm
going
to
take
you
to
right
now,
because
one
of
the
ways
that
I
can
meet
the
needs
of
so
many
participants
in
one
class
is
to
utilize
the
intensity
variables
that
are
specific
to
suspension
training.
So
the
first
intensity
variable
is
called
vector
resistance.
B
So
I'm
going
to
have
you
just
grab
your
handles
that
stays
right
here
and
you're
going
to
just.
You
can
face
the
anchor
point
facing
this
direction
and
step
back
and
just
be
careful
of
your
mat
and
you're
going
to
move
into
a
low
row,
so
your
hands
are
going
being
neutral
and
you're
going
to
create
a
plank
with
your
body.
So
your
ear,
your
shoulder
your
hip,
your
knee
your
ankle.
B
They
all
line
up,
even
though
you're
leaning
slightly
back
and
then
just
fully
extend
your
arms
and
then
just
pull
yourself
towards
the
anchor
point
in
a
row.
Okay,
so
pretty
good
right
and
you're
doing
a
great
job
of
maintaining
tension
in
your
straps
and
your
body's
in
perfect
posture
awesome.
Now
we're
going
to
make
it
a
little
harder
do
the
same
exercise
but
walk
your
feet
in
so
you
walk
underneath
the
anchor
point
a
little
bit
more
now.
Try
the
row:
oh
okay,
yes,
and
then
walk
your
feet
in
even
a
little
bit.
B
B
B
B
Understand
they
have
more
confidence
because
they're
getting
educated
about
taking
risks,
but
the
right
ones
right
that
challenge
them
appropriately.
So
that's
one
variable
this
another
one
is
called
stability,
so
we
can
make
the
exercise
a
little
bit
more
challenging
by
decreasing
or
increasing
the
stability.
So
let's
go
back
to
that
low
row
and
we'll
try
that
again.
This
time,
though,
instead
of
having
your
feet
really
close
together,
open
them
up
so
they're
hip
width
apart
or
wider
and
then
try
your
row
any
vector.
B
B
B
B
So
if
you
find
it's
really
challenging
to
get
your
heels
in
or
perform
the
exercises,
all
you
have
to
do
a
scooter
and
that's
what
we're
teaching
right
now,
which
is
the
pendulum
principle.
It's
just
like
a
clock,
pendulum
tick-tock,
so
you're
going
to
lift
your
you're
going
to
lie
back
and
pull
your
heels
to
your
chest
and
then
just
drop
them
into
the
foot,
cradles
yep
and
then
some
people
have
trouble
depending
on
the
profile
of
their
shoe
right.
But
for
the
most
part,
people
can
do
this
relatively
easily.
B
B
B
Yes,
you
can,
because
what
you're
going
to
do
is
you're
going
to
scoot
all
the
way
up
so
go
ahead
and
bring
almost
your
belly
button
underneath
the
anchor
point-
and
you
are
going
to
be
amazed
at
the
difference-
and
this
is
all
based
on
gravity
right
and
then
you
do
the
same
exercise
and
you
just
lift
your
hips.
Oh.
B
B
Their
choice
as
instructors
we
lead
and
they
follow
and
our
responsibilities
to
make
sure
they're,
educated,
so
I've
taught
you
the
row
and
I've
taught
you
the
hip
press
two
exercises
now
I'm
going
to
teach
you
another
body
position
and
another
exercise.
This
is
what
is
commonly
known
as
the
plank
and
you
can
do
full
hand
plank
and
you
can
do
forearm
plank
so
go
ahead
and
pull
those
heels
out.
B
That's
the
foam
part
and
then
you're
literally
going
to
take
them
just
outside
your
your
knees
yet
and
then
take
your
right
foot
and
put
it
into
the
left
foot
cradle,
yes,
exactly
correct
and
then
pull
your
left
leg
right
over
and
put
it
into
the
see
how
you're
sitting
here
with
your
legs
crossed
right
now,
you're
going
to
roll
over
and
you're
going
to
get
face
down
or
prone
yeah
and
you'll
notice.
How
your
feet
move
in
the
foot
cradles
to
accommodate
that
right.
Great!
B
The
pendulum
principle
applies
here
too,
so
if
you
were
to
scoot
way
this
way,
this
exercise
would
be
super
hard.
If
you
were
to
come
back
this
way,
it'd
be
a
lot
more
manageable.
We're
going
to
go
to
plank
so
I'm
going
to
have
you
lie
on
your
belly
with
your
fingers,
spread
right
underneath
your
shoulders
and
you
can
just
let
your
body
rest
yep.
So
the
first
thing
we
want
to
do
is
set
it
up
so
dorsey
flex
your
feet,
that's
as
if
yes,
you're,
like
like
you're
standing
on
the
floor.
B
Okay,
your
feet
be
like
now
you're
going
to
engage
your
quads
and
your
glutes
and
you're
going
to
pull
your
belly
in
now
rise
up
onto
your
knees
with
your
body
and
planks,
you
can
put
your
knees
down
and
then,
when
you're
ready
with
your
shoulders
all
set
pick
your
knees
up
and
there
you
go
you're
in
the
plank,
pose
okay.
Now
you
just
spread
your
fingers
and
now
you're
in
a
perfect
alignment.
So
you
have
ears
shoulder
hip,
knee
and
ankle
alignment.
This
works
your
glutes,
your
whole
entire
spine.
B
Have
to
move
you
do
don't
have
to
move
it
all
so
go
ahead
and
put
your
one
knee
down
or
both
knees
down
and
we're
going
to
take
it
to
a
push-up
and
we're
going
to
make
it
a
little
bit
easier
to
start
and
then
a
little
bit
more
challenging
so
go
ahead
and
just
drop
your
knees
down
and
lower
your
hips,
just
like
you
were
before
and
I
would.
If
you
want
to
open
your
hands
up.
So
your
thumbs
are
on
the
mat.
But
your
fingers
are
on
the
floor.
B
So
a
lighter
yep,
so
a
little
bit
wider
and
maybe
a
little
bit
up
higher
so
that
you
can
perform
the
push-up
and
it
won't
be
so
hard
and
I'd
even
open
my
hands
up
a
teeny
bit
more
ok
and
now
come
to
your
knees
and
then
you're
going
to
perform
some
push-ups
based
on
what
you
want
to
do.
So
just
drop
your
hips
a
pinch
and
then
drop
your
shoulders
and
body
down
and
up
for
four
or
three
four
push-ups.
B
So
for
and
just
keep
your
head
lifted
and
three
now
if
it
starts
to
get
unmanageable,
just
drop
one
knee
two
and
then
one
knee
comes
down
and
try
just
two
more
reps:
there
see
how
you
can
finish
the
set.
Yes
without
all
the
stress
in
your
body,
but
you'll
still
be
successful.
In
with
the
whole
group,
perfect.
B
You
and
your
it's
so
important
when
you're
mentally
to
psychologically,
because
then
you
don't
feel
defeated,
you
feel
successful
and
that's
what
we
want.
We
want
people
to
feel
empowered,
ok,
so
that
would
be
one
example.
I'm
gonna
have
you
do
another
one
now
this
is
the
one
that
people
will
see
and
think.
Oh,
my
gosh,
that's
so
hard
I
can't
do
it.
You
can
you
just
have
to
earn
it
right.
So
this
is
an
oblique
crunch.
B
B
How
I
make
you
go
right
and
left
and
two
before
I
count
it
and
one
and
finish
rest
so
much
work,
isn't
it
so
that
was
you
can
do
that,
one
from
your
forearms
to,
but
let's
go
ahead
and
try
one
from
our
forms.
This
is
called.
The
body
saw.
Okay,
this
looks
so
much
easier
than
it
is
so
make
sure
your
elbows
and
your
wrists
are
the
same
placement.
B
Apart
make
sure
you
don't
drift
those
hands
in
and
if
you
want,
you
can
make
fists
or
you
can
do
open
palms
and
your
body
is
going
to
be
in
a
straight
plank.
Your
shoulder
hip
knee
ankle
alignment
so
go
ahead
and
eat
your.
This
is
called
forearm
plank
and
then
all
you're
going
to
do
it's
kind
of
like
a
chaturanga
and
yoga
you're,
just
going
to
kind
of
slide
forward
through
your
shoulders
and
then
back
and
that's
the
move
just
keep
doing
that
one
and
you're
going
to
notice.
B
B
Does
not
look
hard
and
it's
hard.
It
is
hard
and
you've
done
eight.
So
that's
perfect,
that's
good
enough,
yeah
and
then
they'll,
probably
the
last
body
position
would
be
side
plank.
So
if
you
were
to
stay
with
your
feet
in
like
that
and
just
turn
your
body
this
direction
and
come
on
to
your
forearm
and
then
ideally,
you
want
to
have
what's
called
a
tandem
stance.
B
So
your
top
leg,
which
is
this
leg,
is
going
to
be
on
top
of
your
bottom
leg,
and
you
want
that
heel
toe
connection,
because
that
kinesthetic
connection
will
help
create
more
control.
Okay
and
then
the
elbow
is
ideal.
You
can
be
on
your
hand,
but
think
about
this.
If
you
are
on
your
hand,
all
of
your
body
weight
is
in
one
shoulder
John.
That
sounds
painful.
It
may
be
right
for
some
people,
but
it's
not
right
for
me.
So
I,
don't
typically
do
that
one,
but
you
can
do
that
so
as
a
trainer.
B
I
want
to
make
sure
that
when
you're
inside
plank
that
you're
in
a
perfectly
straight
line,
I
frequently
will
equate
this
to
dropping
a
slice
of
bread
into
the
toaster.
Okay.
So
there's
no
folder
bend
at
the
waist
or
the
hips
and
people
do
it
and
they
don't
know
that
they
are
and
that's
why
I
cue
that
so
I
would
just
have
you
make
sure
you're
perfectly
aligned.
B
Okay,
really
go
for
this,
that
precise
position
and
then,
when
you're,
ready,
you're
just
going
to
load
your
body
weight
and
then
that
hand
will
come
to
your
hip,
okay
or
you
can
reach
it
straight
up
and
you're
going
to
hold
for
ten
and
nine.
It's
really
hard,
isn't
it
and
eight
and
seven
and
six
I
bet.
You
wish
I'd
count
faster,
I'm
dreaming
that
and
two
I
wish
you
skip
and
every
night.
Yes,
of
course,
I
did
and
then
you
just
drop
down
and
just
switch
sides.
B
You
just
roll
under
okay,
so
just
go
belly
under
and
that's
how
you
transition
without
your
feet,
coming
out
of
the
cycle
foot
cradles,
because
that
takes
time
away
in
the
workout
right
wow.
That's
great
yeah,
and
so
we
put
all
the
exercises
together
and
the
participants
are
queued
very
quickly,
so
the
workout
is
really
challenging,
but,
as
you
can
see,
we
can
make
it
work
for
anybody
would.
B
Think
that
you
can
create
any
workout
you
want
to.
There
are
exercises
that
are
more
cardiovascular
in
nature.
That
still
require
you
to
move
your
body
through
space,
but
their
muscle,
endurance,
race,
so
they're,
more
cardio
and
muscle
endurance
base
and
then
there's
some
exercises
like
holding
that
plank.
That
is
a
strength
exercise
because
within
six
to
ten
seconds,
you'll
fail
right,
depending
on
your
strength
level,
of
course.
So
if
you
don't
and
I
want
it
to
be
a
strength
exercise,
all
I
have
to
do
is
manipulate
one
of
those
variables.
B
So
if
I
want
it
to
be
more
strength
based
I
will
make
it
harder
for
you.
So,
yes,
you
can
and
we
even
have
flexibility
movement
patterns.
Let
me
show
you
this
one:
okay,
I'm
going
to
have
you
put
it
into
single
handle
mode?
So
we'll
just
do
this
together.
You
probably
know
how
to
do
it,
but
I'll
just
share
it
with
you,
because
it
isn't
obvious
and
we'll
just
leave
the
straps
at
the
length
that
they
are.
This
is
so
fun.
It
looks
like
a
cirque
de
soleil
act,
but
it's
not
that
hard.

Okay,
you
take
your
right,
handle,
put
it
into
your
left
triangle
and
then
you
do
it
again.
You
put
your
right
into
your
left
dependent
and
then
you
just
cinch
down.
What's
on
your
left
and
then
I'm
going
to
have
you
hold
on
to
the
straps
really
high
and
you
have
to
obviously
you
know
have
some
confidence
here,
but
I'm
just
going
to
show
you
and
then
I'll.
Have
you
try
you're
just
going
to
swing
into
this?
This
is
called
a
floating
hip
and
then
you
just
pull
right
out
of
it.
