Vicki Meets TRX

Posted By: Vicki Raynor on 12/09/2010

So Stacy says to me, “come over here, I’d like to introduce you to the TRX Suspension Trainer.” I step into the workout area and I see this yellow strappy thing with handles, hanging from a high bar. What?! Surely she doesn’t want me to strap into that baby!

Strap Me In!
She tells me that we are going to spend my entire training session working with my new friend: TRX. On my hands and knees I go. One foot slips through the handle and I’m supposed to crunch my knee towards my head. Yeah Right! While I am suspended ...

Multi-Functional TRX
Next, I find myself on my back with both feet in the handles --arms out to my sides, and I’m supposed to lift my entire body up and hold it steady. Stacy wants me to literally hang by my feet while sucking in my stomach?!
(I’m so ‘entertaining,’ we now got Mike joining in on the fun!)

Surprise! Surprise!
I gotta tell ya, I have terrible balance. I didn’t know that little fact until I started working out at Fitness Together, but it’s true. I’ve made strides, but still have a way to go. So imagine my surprise at the end of my working with “Mr. TRX,” when I realized that I actually could balance myself without flailing. I felt I had worked out every muscle in my body…except my ears!

TRX…I think I love you!
