We created this workout program to help you achieve the highest state of operational readiness and peak physical condition. The first two weeks of the Military Fitness Program are designed as an introduction to the TRX Suspension Trainer. So take it easy and check your ego at the door, you’ll have plenty of time to show off later. Start by watching the Set Up and Use Guidelines and Training Tips. Make sure you get the most out of your workout.
Each of the two strength workouts should be executed twice per week along with a four day running-specific training plan with three active recovery days. In Strength Workout 1 the TRX Sprinter's Start exercise (pictured above) should be completed as ten reps at a very slow speed, followed immediately by ten reps at a faster pace. This is expressed in the program under reps as “10, 10”. This workout targets the legs, arms and some core muscles. “Transition Time” indicates the time from the end of the exercise to the start of the next. Make sure to take any additional rest time or cut back on reps as needed. This program is a guide that you can modify to your own ability, advancing certain exercises and weeks at your own pace.
Tips:
- Always weight-test the TRX before starting movement
- Concentrate on proper alignment, focus on engaging your abs and maintaining a neutral spine
- Keep tension on the TRX throughout the full range of motion
