Running through woods, creeks, and on an angle are one thing. Climbing over walls, bear crawling on top of rope ladders, and bounding over cars is another. Combine all and add a few leaps over fire and you've got a tricky obstacle course. I didn't fall once. Two words: CORE STABILITY. My clients know those words well because core stability is a concept that I preach on and work on over and over and over again. Strength is meaningless without stability. Don't believe me? An athlete or bodybuilder may have ripped abs, but if all one did was crunches then they are definitely missing the boat. What good are ripped abs if you can be pushed over or lose your balance? I have excellent core stability that comes from a combination of things, but when I was crawling over rope bridges or tip-toeing through mud in the warrior dash, I was thankful I had been training with TRX. TRX is a suspension training system that is very simple. Developed by a Navy Seal, this product helps you utilize your bodyweight in several different ways, but even when conducting an isolated exercise such as a bicep curl, you are actively stabilizing yourself, which will make the activity more difficult, but in turn will make you better. Click on the title to this blog or the banner at the top of my page to learn more, and feel free to contact me with any questions or comment to post what you love about TRX. By the way, TRX isn't just for elite athletes--I use it to train my less mobile and elderly clients as well and it is also excellent for flexibility and other rehab-type work. Life is our sport and we must train hard. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
