The straps are your support as you lean back holding them. Start by holding the straps at your arm pits. In particular, the curtsies or Skaters, build the sides of your glutes (medias, minimus) that often get neglected by cyclists and runners who are usually moving forward in one plane. These are powerful moves to build mobility in your hips and knees, as well as building strength in your glutes, quads, and hamstrings. This exercise in the TRX workout routine develops torso strength that keeps your upper body stable and strong. Then, pull yourself back up and touch the strap at the buckle. With your feet staying in place, release one hand and rotate your torso and reach to the ground with your other arm. Hold onto one handle with both hands and face the strap. You have to maintain strength throughout the torso rotation as well as build strength in your hips, shoulder, and arm. Where the row and pushup focus on torso stability, the power pull focuses on torso rotation.
This is a deceptively difficult exercise especially as your body gets more horizontal. Rows build strength in your back and arms, which are critical in maintaining upper body stability while running and cycling.Īs part of your TRX workout routine, you can also alter your grip so that for one row, your palms face up, your second, your palms face each other, and the third, your palms face down.Įach of these movements create a different stress on your arms and back muscles. You can also do the row one-handed, keeping your torso straight to create anti-rotation stress. To make the row more difficult, move your feet forward and make your body more horizontal. You can also make this a chest fly by widening the spacing of the handles. Move your feet backward to create more difficulty, or put your feet on a bench or riser to increase the challenge. Keep the straps on your arms as you lean and bring the handles to your armpits and push away. Lean forward as if you were doing a wall pushup. Start with your arms stretched in front of you. Stand with the handles in front of you and the straps over your shoulders. This pushup, a key part of the TRX workout routine, builds chest, shoulder, arm, and back strength, in addition to torso stability. There are links to youtube videos for each exercise. I also suggest using these exercises any time in a training routine.įor example, we regularly use suspension pushups and rows in strength training sessions. I designed the routine to be a full-body program that endurance athletes can use one or two times per week to maintain strength throughout the racing season. Here are six exercises as part of a TRX workout routine that build overall strength and core fitness for cyclists and runners. That butt clench needed to hold in the fart is how you should hold your body straight. To illustrate how they should feel, I told them to imagine their crush, the person they’ve liked since kindergarten, is standing right next to them. I tell clients that when I worked with adolescents at ropes courses and we were doing trust falls, I reminded them to keep their bodies straight.
I taught middle school students for 23 years, so I still have a juvenile sense of humor.
When you are leaning with the TRX, you need to keep your body straight like a board. Clench the cheeks with your TRX workout routine
