Workouts - it's up to YOU

Since I'll be gone for the next week, I promised you all a copy of 2 TRX workouts. If you have been attending class this month like good boys and girls (...ahem, ahem...), you should have no problem remembering these sweet moves. If you need a refresher, I have attached a few photos. My apologies for the street clothes, it just so happened I wasn't wearing my workout duds this evening when Darla was my photographer. Enjoy!

TRXers will continue to meet at scheduled times. Evening TRXers may be moving to 5:30? Contact Tom if you have questions...he always has an answer for everything. Search the mass email I sent you this afternoon for his contact info.

Both workouts are to be performed in a circuit, 3-4x each. Number of reps is listed in the right hand column. THE LAST 2 REPS OF EACH SET SHOULD BE A CHALLENGE. DON'T CHEAET YOURSELF!


***SB: Swiss Ball; MB: Medicine Ball. Substitute an abdominal exercise of your choice in place of the Bosu 1-leg v-ups if you like. 1-leg v-ups can also be performed on the purple versa disks. Just keep your bum on the ground with the Vdisks.****



Wall Squat - never mind the underpants

Flyes on Swiss Ball. You may choose to do pushups with your shins on the ball, hands on floor if you like.
Darla, let's work on angles next time :)

TRX Pull up, palms facing each other - starting position

Finishing position

PliƩ Squat + Rotation + Shoulder Press. Be sure to lift rear heel and rotate shoulders to 3 and 9 o'clock.

1-leg Suspended Squat on TRX. Touch the ground and then reach for the stars  :)

Oblique drops. Don't forget to do both sides!

Chair Squat. Kiss it.

Step Ups

Starburst. Alternate left and right hand in upper position.

Alternating flyes

Mountain Climbers on the chair
Unfortunately my camera batteries pooped out at this point. Remember that there is a limited TRX exercise gallery at the EF website. I plan on adding to it again soon.

See you in March!
