Yesterday was BEAUTIFUL weather in Madison. 75 sun, breeze, and low humidity. I couldn't bring myself to be inside for yoga so I did a run+TRX workout. I did a 30min steady run + 30min TRX. What I love about suspension training is every strength exercise engages the core. You can't muscle your way through any of the exercises- body awareness is key. If you don't want to spend ~$200 on a TRX, you can purchase cheaper versions on amazon or it could also be a DIY project! I typically go through 2 rounds of the following exercises.
abs:
- 10 push ups with a knee tuck between each one
- 10 push ups with a pike up between each one
- 10 side plank hip raises + 5 roll throughs
legs:
-10 double leg hamstring curls+ 20 single leg (lying on your back with heels in the straps- come up to a half bridge position- bring both feet towards your butt- those are the double leg curls)
-10 wide stance squats with hands above your head in handles
-15 single leg squats
-10 single leg balancing lunges (combine the 2 straps-turn away from the try- put one foot in-be careful with this one!)
arms: (there are a # of different ways to complete the arm exercises- to get an idea of options there are tons of you tube videos of trx exercises)
- 5 of each (Y's, I's, and T's)
- 20 shoulder presses
- 10 bicep curls
- 10 tricep extensions
