Here's the scoop...If you're just starting out and you have access to a TRX suspension trainer (or other type of suspension trainer), this routine is a great place to start. You will learn how to balance and control your body's momentum, developing strength in a way that is difficult to replicate.
Follow along with the video the first few times, and then you should be able to take it from there. Be sure to take the time to really learn the exercises, developing impeccable technique. Watching yourself in a mirror helps. This routine can be combined with another Beginner Workout to add variety throughout your week. |
Always perform a thorough Dynamic Warm-up before beginning, and finish with a Complete Cool Down, including foam rolling and stretching.
Treat each group of exercises (e.g. 1a-1c) as a circuit. Perform the circuit one time through, then return to the first exercise (1a) and repeat the circuit again. The first number listed indicates how many times you need to do that circuit (2 x 5 breaths = twice through that circuit). The second number tells you how many reps of that exercise you need to perform (2 x 5 breaths). Take breaks as needed. I recommend trying this workout a couple times, adding another set or more repetitions of each exercise as you get better.
