By Raelene Bravo, Elite Personal Trainer

 

Never boring, never easy, always challenging — that’s what you get with a TRX workout. Utilized by some of the fittest people on the planet (including pro athletes and members of the military) because of its versatility, the TRX gives you the ability to seamlessly incorporate lower, upper, and core muscles for total body workouts with unparalleled benefits. Try this month’s workout and see how quickly you start building strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility from head to toe.

 

*Modify this workout to your specific needs and ability. Create a total body TRX workout or target specific areas to complement your current training regimen. Keep the challenge high by increasing reps and/or rounds as you get stronger.
