TRX: Part II

You know what I love about TRX? It's something different. Even if you love working out and do so often, we all need some variety to keep things interesting. I know I'm beating a dead-horse with this whole "variety" thing, but that should just go to show you how important it is to change up your exercise program. If you don't like TRX, no big deal, but at least you have given your brain and body something new to adapt to, even if it's just for one workout.

Even for the physically fit, there are some TRX exercises that can and will really challenge you. As an exercise veteran, this has been a breath of fresh air for me. We all need a little kick in the ass some times (in exercise and in life). TRX allows your body to move in ranges of motion that would be impossible otherwise. Working in these new ranges and planes of motion, allows your body to stay mobile and strong. Nothing exists in a straight line, so why should exercise?

Even "standard" exercises, like push-ups, are made different and more challenging when performed on the TRX straps. If you're at the point where you can do push-ups easily, then give it a whack on the TRX straps. Trust me: it won't be so easy anymore.
In case you were wondering, exercise is never supposed to be easy. That's kind of the point, y'all.

Anyway, I made another silly video to illustrate some of these points. I apologize for the small size of the video, my choices of video equipment are pretty limited.
