Here’s my TRX Review. After reading about TRX for about a year, I finally ordered one and have been amazed by how versatile it is. I like it so much that I’ve added to my list of the best workouts.

The TRX Training system was created by former Navy Seal Randy Hetrick. He was looking for an full body workout system that he and his Seal Team could take anywhere in the world and get a great workout. The TRX system is sometimes called a “workout in a bag” and is used by troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and many other areas of the world. You may have also seen them used in popular fitness shows like The Biggest Loser.

The TRX Suspension Cable workout consists of a set of carefully crafted high strength straps that are put together to provide a great workout. The straps can be quickly adjusted and anchored behind a closed door, so be sure and order a kit with the optional door anchor if you plan on working out at home or on business trips. It can really attach to almost anything from a telephone pole to monkey bars.

One of the great things about the TRX straps is that they can be used by alomst any fitness level. Because they use your own body weight, you can vary the intensity of the workout just by moving your hand or foot position.

I recommend using the TRX system as a circuit training system. Choose a set of 5-6 exercises and do them in 45 second intervals and then take a 15 second break. After only five sets, you can get a great full body workout. Here’s an example of one of my TRX Workouts:

1. Squat with a hop at the top.
2. Chest press.
3. Arm Curl.
4. Back Pull
5. Triceps Press
6. Shoulder raise

The TRX Straps are especially good for rehabilitation after an injury. Due to the stretch that you get while working out, it can best be described as yoga and weight training combined.

WARNING: Just like P90X, TRX systems are highly popular and TRX Suspension Trainers show up on Craigslist and eBay. Only buy from FitnessAnywhere (TRXTraining.com)
