This has to be the coolest most productive piece of equipment ever and here at F.U.S.E we are embracing the TRX system.
So what is it?
The TRX Suspension Training unit is a portable, industrial-strength, nylon webbing system with handles, foot cradles and anchoring attachments. TRX stands for Total Body Resistance Exercise. At first glance it seems simple enough, but don't let looks deceive you. The U.S. Navy designed this training tool for its special Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) forces while they were deployed for extended periods. The elite teams needed something portable and highly effective to maintain their fitness levels in the field.
The TRX unit uses your own body weight against gravity to increase strength, stability and endurance. As it's suspended, rather than fixed like traditional weight training equipment, it requires a great deal of core work to stabilize your movements against the forces of gravity.
Who would like it?
If you already like working out with stability balls, foam rollers and elastic resistance equipment, you'll probably enjoy the challenge. It doesn't look as macho as pushing weights, but once you try it, I'm sure you'll be convinced otherwise. Because the TRX system is suspended, it creates a dynamic environment, making the neuromuscular system work to co-ordinate movement. Athletes will love this right away. In fact, the professional NHL and NFL teams and many elite level athletes are using it.
