It\u2019s a minimalist bit of kit &#8211; with a base primarily made up of heavy-duty adjustable straps &#8211; but it packs in plenty of power. This take-anywhere tool allows you to perform functional moves in three dimensions, which is an impossible feat with most other workout equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>TRX 101: What are the benefits of TRX?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TRX is a powerful piece of equipment.

Among these practical advantages, <strong>there is also an incredible amount of physical and health benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>TRX <strong>makes you strong<\/strong> by allowing you to work against gravity.

From squatting to lunging, all of the movements performed on this bit of kit are ones we replicate in day-to-day activities, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to use the equipment is <strong>to mix up activities between strength training and cardio<\/strong>. Beginners needn\u2019t feel daunted: resistance training equipment can be used by complete first-timers (just be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/personal-training\/\">work with a trainer<\/a> first, who will show you proper form and go through the best moves to start with). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can tweak your workout to fit your goals, whether you want to target specific areas of the body or ramp up the intensity by increasing the resistance or adjusting your body. For example, this <a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/trx-workout\/\">TRX workout<\/a> is designed to improve your posture and back strength, with a combination of lateral jumps, hamstring curls, rotating push-ups and <a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.ch\/tutorial-trx-low-pull\/\">low pulls<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Are you tempted by TRX?
