&lt;p&gt;This week you have graduated from the &lt;a href="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/exercise-videos/archive/2008/03/20/trx-side-planks-with-floor-taps.aspx"&gt;TRX Side Plank&lt;/a&gt; on the forearm to &lt;a href="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/exercise-videos/archive/2008/03/20/trx-side-planks-with-floor-taps.aspx"&gt;TRX Side Plank&lt;/a&gt; using your hand as the base of support (pictured above). Since this is more difficult to stabilize, just hold the position for 20 seconds. The taps will be incorporated back in week 11. If you experience too much stress&amp;nbsp;in your shoulder, &amp;quot;cheat&amp;quot; your arm under your body so your wrist is not directly under your shoulder. If you feel stress on your wrist, turn your hand into a fist&amp;nbsp;or grab onto a dumbell. Place your free hand on your side or reach it up to the sky. Try to keep your chin up and your gaze forward. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=449" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/archive/tags/MFP/default.aspx">MFP</category><category domain="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/archive/tags/Military+Fitness+Program/default.aspx">Military Fitness Program</category><category domain="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/archive/tags/tips/default.aspx">tips</category><category domain="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/archive/tags/workout/default.aspx">workout</category><category domain="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/archive/tags/week+8/default.aspx">week 8</category></item><item><title>Week 8: Strength Workout 2</title><link>http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/archive/2008/03/05/week-8-strength-workout-2.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Mar 2008 01:29:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">71529847-6180-436b-ba05-cb5b40fcf3c1:451</guid><dc:creator>Fitness Anywhere</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=451</wfw:commentRss><comments>http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/archive/2008/03/05/week-8-strength-workout-2.aspx#comments</comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="267" alt="" src="http://fitnessanywhere.smugmug.com/photos/58180387_kWSkM-S.jpg" width="400" align="top" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img height="267" alt="" src="http://fitnessanywhere.smugmug.com/photos/58180388_UNvmL-S.jpg" width="400" align="top" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This week you have to perform&amp;nbsp;ten more reps on the &lt;a href="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/exercise-videos/archive/2008/03/29/trx-elevated-back-row.aspx"&gt;TRX Elevated Back Row&lt;/a&gt; but you also get another minute to do it. The &lt;a href="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/exercise-videos/archive/2008/03/12/trx-suspended-pendulum.aspx"&gt;TRX Suspended Pendulum&lt;/a&gt; has more reps so make sure you keep that good form going: as your legs swing from side to side, keep your legs in line with your hips. Though this movement is dynamic and powerful, and you&amp;#39;ll want to swing forcefully, keep your swing smooth and controlled, otherwise you&amp;#39;ll&amp;nbsp;lose the benefits of&amp;nbsp;core activation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=451" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/archive/tags/MFP/default.aspx">MFP</category><category domain="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/archive/tags/Military+Fitness+Program/default.aspx">Military Fitness Program</category><category domain="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/archive/tags/tips/default.aspx">tips</category><category domain="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/archive/tags/workout/default.aspx">workout</category><category domain="http://community.fitnessanywhere.com/blogs/trx_mfp/archive/tags/week+8/default.aspx">week 8</category></item></channel></rss>
