TRX Workout-VASA Fitness
Introduction to TRX Training
TRX training, also known as Total Resistance Exercise, is a form of suspension training that leverages body weight exercises to enhance strength and fitness. Developed by Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick, TRX workouts are designed to engage the entire body, including the core, upper body, and lower body, to build strength and endurance.
The TRX system consists of suspension straps that can be anchored to a stable object, allowing users to perform a variety of exercises. This form of training is incredibly versatile and can be done at home, in a gym, or even outdoors, making it a convenient and flexible way to stay fit. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced athlete, TRX workouts can be modified to suit your individual fitness level, making it accessible to people of all ages and abilities.
One of the key benefits of TRX suspension training is its ability to improve core stability and balance. By using your body weight as resistance, TRX exercises challenge your core muscles, helping to enhance overall stability and coordination. Additionally, TRX training is a low-impact form of exercise, making it ideal for individuals with joint pain or other mobility issues.
TRX training can also be combined with other forms of exercise, such as yoga or strength training, to create a well-rounded fitness routine that helps you improve strength, build endurance, and achieve your fitness goals.
TRX Workout Routine
TRX bands are versatile and can be used for a full-body workout. Complete the following TRX exercises as individual exercises or spice it up by completing a full circuit of suspension training!

TRX Squat/Squat Jumps:
3 sets, 15 reps Hold the handles and place your feet hip-width apart. Sit down towards the ground and stand up quickly. To get your heart rate up, jump up and land softly to complete the squat.
TRX High Row:
3 sets, 15 reps Start with arms extended out and your feet under the anchor. With your palms facing down, pull the handles towards your shoulders, then extend your arms back to the starting position.
TRX Foot Elevated Lunge:
3 sets, 10 reps on each leg Place one foot into the cradle of the handle. Stand tall with your hands clasped in front of your chest. Bend the knee of the planted leg and drive the foot in the cradle backwards. Return to a standing position. Modification: For a less challenging version, hold the handles for support, keep one leg planted on the ground, and lunge backward with the other leg, keeping it off the ground for all 10 reps if possible.
TRX Glute Bridge + Hamstring Curl:
3 sets, 15 reps Lie flat on your back with your feet in the TRX straps. Engage your core and glutes and lift your hips off the floor. In one smooth motion, drive the hips up and curl your heels into your glutes without letting your hips sink down.
TRX Push Up:
3 sets, 15 reps Face away from the anchor point and hold the straps in your hands. At a 45-degree angle, place your hands underneath your shoulders (the straps will be on top of your arms). Slowly and with control, lower into a push-up position. Then, press away from the floor and repeat. Advanced option: Place your feet in the handle cradles and put your hands on the ground. Complete a push-up followed immediately by a knee tuck by pulling both knees into the chest before completing another push-up.
Atomic Push Up:
3 sets, 15 reps Face away from the anchor point and hold the straps in your hands. At a 45-degree angle, place your hands underneath your shoulders (the straps will be on top of your arms). Slowly and with control, lower into a push-up position. Then, press away from the floor and repeat. Advanced option: Place your feet in the handle cradles and put your hands on the ground. Complete a push-up followed immediately by a knee tuck by pulling both knees into the chest before completing another push-up.
TRX Ab Pike/Tuck:
3 sets, 15 reps Get into a high plank position, with your feet in the TRX straps and hands under your shoulders. Drive your hips into the air and curl your knees into your chest. Slowly lower back into the plank position. Advanced option: Instead of curling your knees into your chest, keep your legs straight so you end in a pike position.Want More Help With Your TRX Workouts?
