TRX Focuses on Movements Rather than Muscles

While the ultimate goal of TRX training is to get a toned, well-defined body, the exercises don’t focus on singular muscles as old-school exercise do. Rather, TRX advocates argue that focusing on specific movements is key to developing a well-rounded workout regimen that strengthens muscles while at the same time promoting balance and coordination.

Focusing on movement-based exercises rather than static exercises increases your heart rate and makes you concentrate on your balance, which will help keep your core tight so you can get the most out of your workouts sessions.

Who Can do TRX?
