Got a TRX for Christmas

**tyalana** · 12-30-2009, 11:40 AM

Well I broke ranks with the ironheads and decided to buy myself the TRX for Christmas. I've been lifting weights for over twenty years and have looked at crossfit and others but decided to try out the TRX. It made sense for me I'm in the military and on the road so it can be used in hotel rooms ect easily. I must say after 3 workouts I'm peasently surprised with the quality of the workout!! Yes it does produce muscle soreness with only your bodyweight but were it helps me the most is with my core muscles.
In the end I will combine the TRX with a weight workout. I got a great link to this workout called stronglifts 5x5
http://stronglifts.com/
It is all free for downloading, I'm going to combine this workout and the TRX for the new year.
The only beef I have with it so far is the cost of there workout DVD's but you can find stuff on you tube and there own site which helps out for making up your own routines.

I got one too and I also combine it with my weight workouts. It is pretty amazing, especially with advanced exercises. Thanks for the link. I will check it out

I made a set of my own. It was under $20 for everything and it works great. Here is a link to the video I found.

Hey Tyalana,

It's been about 8 months since you purchased your TRX ... would you buy it again given your results with it?

**tyalana** · 08-03-2010, 08:23 AM

Well I definately like the TRX and I would buy it again or try to make a home version for a alot cheaper. I'm doing mainly core and ab exercises with it which are killer, got the workout from youtube. YouTube - Ultimate TRX Total CORE Destruction for 6-Pack Abs and V-Cut "Be a 10 in 2010". I will occasionally mix my weight workout with the TRX also.
All in all I'm happy with the purchase and it has not sat in the corner with the dust bunnies.
