Suspension Training Rocks!

Thanks first off to my friend and Coach Phil Alcock from Core Health Spa for putting me onto this training.

I have been experimenting a bit with a product called TRX Straps recently.

I am pretty new to this so it is a bit of a learning curve for me but so far I love it! It is so versatile and with some creativity that you can pretty much do anything!

Over the next few weeks I plan to incorporate and learn a lot more exercises for the TRX staps.

One exercise that kicked my ASS is called “Atomic Push Ups”. It is basically a combination of

Elevated Push Up
Plank
Knee Tuck

It is an awesome exercise and much harder than it looks! After about 25 reps your whole body starts to gas out. I was surprised after doing 1 hard set to failure just how much my heart rate was up!

My goal for the New Year is to get 50 reps! I saw UFC Pro Fighter do 50 somewhere on Youtube and it got me motivated to hit it!

Check out the video below and if you get a chance pick up a copy of TRX straps. They are well worth the investment!!

PS I will be carrying them at Heavyweights soon, I love this product!
