An introduction to TRX suspension training at home

[@ronnyskaar3737]

I bought one 5 years ago. Today I watched your video and finally took it out of the box 😂. Thanks!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

This is great, glad it inspired you. I have a couple of TRX follow along workouts you can try too if it helps, in my playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLf9i8qFtMBBK1VBEA-IlSw7VrXxrvxHUF

[@tomaszgillner3950]

Same here, only.... I bought my in 2017 back in UK. Today took out of the box.....

[@bonnieprater5124]

I was gifted one several years ago by my niece, who is a personal trainer. I've used it in the past but this series will get me going again. Thanks.

[@AnneDougherty]

This is the best intro video I've seen. Clear, easy to understand, well explained. Thank you!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

You're very welcome!

[@franciebacon465]

Piggybacking off of @AnneDougherty yours is the first video that I've seen demonstrating the "play" where the straps connect to the carabiner, how you need to keep the tension the same on them. I kept looking at it wondering if it was REALLY intended to have that play in it and your video made it clear that this is how it is.

[@Notalawyer101]

Thank you for this outstanding introductory video on how to use the TRX over a door. Very clear and well-paced for beginners like me.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Glad it was helpful!

I got my TRX yesterday. This is the best video i have found so far. Great job mate! Best regards from Prague!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Awesome! It's a great bit of kit. I've done a couple of workout videos with them if that interests you here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHuUk5ipfa5sd9U and here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6G2aIyjrJWemLM

I just purchased a TRX and your video is excellent! Better than the videos actually done by TRX. Very thorough and simple to understand! I also appreciate the tips, so that I know I'm using it properly with good form. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

That's brilliant thank you. I've done a follow along workout using the TRX here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHuUk5ipfa5sd9U and have another follow up one (more intermediate) planned in a few weeks time

I am new to TRX training and have found this video so helpful. I'm trying to master the exercises here before moving on to more and your form and guidance is superior to anything else I've found online. Thank you very much!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Thank you for this great feedback!

[@yourkeytofitness]

I have a video on YT which focused on seniors. I watched yours and enjoyed it and find it is a good safe way to workout on TRX. With squats they teach having arms bent not arms straight because it takes weight off the knees and quads. Because I have people with bad knees that is exactly what I wanted so I have them perform with straight arms. You reminded me of reverse lunges and hip hinge so always good to watch other trainers as reminders. I use bands also so TRX is just one tool for me. Thanks so much!!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Awesome!!

[@merrillranken6135]

Thank you for the guidance on using my new TRX system. Your instruction was clear and very helpful.

[@steveshepherd333]

Much thanks …. Since lockdown I’ve become very sedentary, and getting leg pain, I’ve recently noticed that since doing more walking, the pain has dissipated a little. Prior to taking early retirement, 7 years ago! I was very active and in a very active job, went to the gym 3/4 times a week too. I took up kettlebell training at home, and purchased a non TRX suspension trainer. But sadly both have been gathering dust, so your video has encouraged me to restart my training, albeit in a reduced and slow/light manner. Fingers crossed. Thanks 🙏 Steve, Bristol, U.K.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Awesome, well done Steve that's great. I've also done a couple of follow along TRX workouts on the channel. You can find them in the playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLf9i8qFtMBBK1VBEA-IlSw7VrXxrvxHUF

Had an accident with another piece of equipment, similar to TRX. The door was pried open, and the thing flew straight into my eye. I was lucky and was only badly bruised superficially, but I was very close to losing my eye. Been afraid ever since to use the door as an anchor to these sorts of exercises. Using TRX strapped to a bar in the park seems like the way to go for me, lol.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Yes, safety should be the priority

Really appreciate your videos. On exercise 5 should one breathe in on way down holding in core muscles and then breathe out on way up? Thanks

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Breathe in as your bottom/ hips drop back and then breathe out as you come back upright.

[@nanikadrichu7950]

Excellent!!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Many thanks! Check out the 3 TRX workout videos you can follow in my home workout playlist

[@nannybannany]

This is so helpful. I'm going to try this at the gym and see how I like it. Is it safe for any door? I learned the doors in my house are hollow, will that be sturdy enough? I'm a large person right now, I haven't looked to see if there's a weight/pressure rating.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

My door I'm using is also hollow. I weigh around 100kg and the anchor point is behind the door frame at the top. Not sure what the max weight is though? If you want a TRX workout to follow, I've done two videos on that as well in the playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLf9i8qFtMBBK1VBEA-IlSw7VrXxrvxHUF

[@kcirmusic1]

Really excellent video... Thank you! Do you think the TRX would be sufficiently anchored if I attach it to a large eye bolt that was screwed into a wooden stud in the ceiling? I'm 5'10 and weigh 160 pounds (if that makes a difference).

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Not sure. When the TRX guys come and fit an X bolt to the walls in the gyms as an anchor point, they have to do a specific test to see if the wall is sturdy enough to take the weight. It's another science that I'm not familiar with!

[@ablamborn]

Where is the link to the mobility video?

[@ExerciseForHealth]

There is a pop out banner when I mention it at the end of the video and a link in the description to it as well, here for your convenience: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3bSn2qJaN-Slck

[@billx9244]

Great video 🙂 one question, with the reverse lunge, is it the rear or front leg that you use to push back to the upright position? ie. which leg is doing the work?

[@ExerciseForHealth]

You'll end up using both, but will feel like pushing more off the back foot to bring it forwards again. However depending on how much you put through the straps and where your centre of gravity is, will partly dictate what percentage of your bodyweight is on each foot and how hard each one works.

[@modernvikingnorway]

Thank you for this. Cant stand all this "hollywood" like videos. You make it easy for beginners!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Brilliant, that's what my channel is about. You'll never see me with my top off!! ha ha

[@asifnzaidi]

ty for the video. Nice. But I don't see the value of using TRX when doing squats/reverse lunge. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I can do them without it. I can see the value of TRX when doing the other exercises.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

No, you're not doing anything wrong! Many followers of my channel have health conditions (neurological/ musculoskeletal etc) where they can't actually perform a squat or lunge, so using the TRX gives them the confidence to try it or to try going into a deeper range of movement with the exercise. For people without some of these health conditions, they may find it easier, which is why my other TRX videos offer more advanced exercises.

[@VNDM-MUSIC]

thanks!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

No problem!

[@colleenconnora9044]

I purchased the hook that mounts into the wall. Does that go just above the door?

[@ExerciseForHealth]

I think the wall needs to be tested before fixing as it needs to be strong enough to take a persons body weight, but it should be a solid wall

[@BoardsAndWetsuits]

Fantastic explanations! Have you seen th P3 Pro. Less cost than the TRX and almost as good I think. Maybe it's a cheap copy?

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Thanks! I think there are cheaper versions of a TRX, as many companies have got on the bandwagon. Some may not have the adjustability of the TRX, but they can be great for the basic exercises!

[@user-nshdg61jnw]

​@@ExerciseForHealthBasically a piece of rope and two pieces of pvc pipe from hardware store can make a trx system. A couple of simple knots, like bouline and double hitch will make it adjustable too. Super cheap

[@JT3KBV4]

Im scared its going to snap on my. Is the door anchor durable? Im quite heavy

[@ExerciseForHealth]

I was a bit worried the first time but the door anchor is great. I weigh 100kg and it supported my weight.

[@garylawrence1026]

Is there an advanced stance for the hip/back extension to make it more difficult? Thank you.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

You can start with bringing your feet closer together to narrow your base of support, making lateral stability more challenging for your core. Then start taking your feet closer to the anchor point, which will increase the angle you will be able to bend at the hip making it more challenging to maintain a neutral spine.

[@garylawrence1026]

As usual many thanks.

The whole time the knees have been at full extension. Blood doesnnot even flow sufficiently at that position. Is say this is a bad thing for anyone that has even mild knee issues.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

I'm not sure I understand your blood flow query, but this should be OK for people with knee issues. Check with your GP if you're unsure.

Start more upright to get your confidence and as you lean more, use a kick stand like in the thumbnail image.

[@crepewagon3145]

Squats

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Don't understand this?

[@daveh3777]

Squats with a strap. What's the point of the strap? Just do a squat.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

You may be able to squat which is great, but many people that follow this channel don't have the strength to squat with their bodyweight, so the TRX can give them the confidence to go lower and improve their strength and mobility.

[@GoddessLadyRei]

It looks dangerous to me. It seems there are a lot of ways to get injured. I'm glad I watched before buying.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

I appreciate the TRX exercises look daunting, but most of them are made easier by the use of the TRX.

[@vincekerrigan8300]

These, it seems to me, are nowhere as versatile or beneficial as resistance band kits, and at one hundred pounds are about three or four times the price!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Resistance bands are also great, but offer a variable resistance during the movement (it increases as the band stretches), whereas the TRX allows you to adjust your position for a change in the resistance. It's just different. Many people love the TRX, but it's not for everyone.
