TRX Fitness At Home

Home Fitness Tools- TRX

New clients constantly ask, \”How can I work out in a New York apartment? I don\’t have room!\” One of the tools that can help is the TRX — bands based on gymnastics rings, but with comfortable padded handles. Though it\’s wildly popular at gyms and studios nationwide, many people don\’t realize TRX is something they can do at home, too.
Small enough to hide in your sock drawer, and light enough to throw in your bag for a weekend trip, the TRX can help you work on strength, core stability, and flexibility. Even when just hooked over the top of a standard home door frame, the straps are strong enough to support users of all shapes & sizes, from athletes to the obese. (I\’ve had clients up to 400 lbs have fun with the TRX, without worrying!) TRX is also a great option for very tall or very short individuals who can never seem to find a comfortable setting on traditional weight machines.
You can use the straps to make bodyweight exercises harder. For example, if standard squats are too easy for you, but you don\’t have heavy dumbbells at home, TRX can let you transform your squat into a much harder single leg squat (aka \”pistol squat\”).
But my favorite use of the TRX is to UNLOAD bodyweight exercises, making them easier. Can\’t do a chin-up yet? Even beginners can do a TRX row, because they\’re only lifting part of their body weight. Not ready for push-ups? With TRX, your pushup is on an incline, much more doable. Just getting back to the gym after months of rehab from knee surgery? You can use your hands to help you pull up from  the bottom of a squat or a lunge.

Be A Little Better Everyday

Establishing positive daily habits is a powerful way to create long-lasting changes and improve your overall well-being. By incorporating these nine simple habits into your routine, you can positively impact your physical health, mental clarity, and personal growth. Let’s dive into these habits and explore the benefits they bring to your life.

One Hour of Exercise

Engaging in at least one hour of exercise daily helps boost your energy levels, promotes weight management, and strengthens your cardiovascular system. Regular exercise also releases endorphins, improving your mood and reducing stress. If you aren’t sure how to get started, hire a personal trainer.

Two Liters of Water

Staying properly hydrated by consuming two liters of water per day promotes healthy digestion, enhances cognitive function, and supports overall cellular health. Water also aids in flushing out toxins from your body and helps maintain healthy skin.

Three Cups of Tea

Drinking three cups of tea, such as green, herbal, or black tea, provides a host of benefits, including antioxidant protection, improved digestion, and enhanced immune function. Tea can also help relax the mind and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Four Colors on Your Plate

Including a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables in your meals ensures a broad range of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. The vibrant colors indicate the presence of beneficial phytochemicals, which help reduce inflammation, support a strong immune system, and promote optimal health.

Five Minutes of Meditation

Taking just five minutes each day to practice meditation can improve focus, reduce anxiety and stress, and promote emotional well-being. It allows you to cultivate mindfulness, gain mental clarity, and develop a sense of inner peace.

Six Songs that Motivate You

Listening to six motivational songs each day can uplift your mood, boost motivation, and provide a positive outlook. Music has the power to inspire, evoke emotions, and drive you towards achieving your goals.

Seven Minutes of Laughter

Laughter is indeed the best medicine. Devote seven minutes to engaging in activities that bring joy and laughter, whether it’s watching a funny video, spending time with loved ones, or reading jokes. Laughter reduces stress, enhances immune function, and improves overall well-being.

Eight Hours of Sleep

Getting a restful eight hours of sleep every night is crucial for your physical and mental health. Quality sleep supports brain function, promotes optimal hormone regulation, and aids in the body’s repair and recovery processes.

Read Nine Pages of a Book

Dedicating time to read nine pages of a book each day enhances knowledge, expands creativity, and improves cognitive abilities. Reading provides mental stimulation, reduces stress, and offers a valuable opportunity for personal growth and self-reflection. Incorporating these nine daily habits into your routine can lead to transformative changes in your life. From physical fitness and hydration to mental well-being and personal growth, each habit contributes to your overall health and happiness. Remember, change happens gradually, so start by incorporating one or two habits at a time and gradually build upon them. Embrace these habits as a lifestyle, and you’ll witness the positive impact they have on your well-being. Start today and embark on a journey towards a happier, healthier you.
