Part of my four part
New Year Resolution this year (what can I say I am an over achiever) is to add
a little more Mojo into my life. You know adventure, travel outside my comfort
zone, just do new things so I can be inspired. What better way to do this then
to follow a passion of mine, a fitness adventure! Over the next 7 weeks I will
be trying out some workouts that I have been wanting to do or that friends have
been raving about. So grab your water bottle and come along!
First stop is
something called TRX Suspension training. I have to admit I had no idea what
this was and had to google it when my friend Michelle mentioned straps. Looked
a little intimidating but you never know until you try something right??????
We traveled over to
the place she has been going called Underground Cycling in Hudson, I signed the
death waiver and then met the super friendly and super buff instructor and
owner. You do have to sign up a head of time
here because the small room only had 10-12 suspension hooks. We got setup, went
over some basics of changing around the strap based on the exercises we were
going to do and then got started with a warm-up.
The interesting
thing about this exercise is I felt like the rep times were super short but you
were working REALLY HARD that whole time. Each exercise had you doing strength
moves that requires balance and core work too. It was a whole body workout as we
started with back, biceps, triceps and chest, moved down to the floor for legs
and then ended with core including planks. At the end I wasn't sweaty but my
muscles felt the workout. It is day 3 now and I am still feeling the burn.
I would like to try
this again combining it with cardio to balance it out. Have you tried TRX? Love
or Hate it?
Next up on the
Adventure is Body Combat. I really hope I get to take someone out : )
