I just finished completing a program we hold here at our base called the DM (Davis Monthan, AFB) to LA Coliseum Race.  It allows our customers to use any piece of cardio equipment and take part in local fun runs and bike races and accumulate 500 miles.  Each is broken down rewarding the person 1 mile to 1.75 miles for every mile they complete depending on what equipment is used.  Looking at the TRX Challenge, maybe a way to expand the market is to have local gyms (And trainers) use the same set up. I know more people workout on a TRX then own one so if you own a gym here would be a great way to boost participation.  Also if you have an affiliate code you can generate some sales also. 

You have the 6 exercises just put a point value to each, set a start and end date and how many points one must accumulate.  Also use the rules provided by FA just an idea for the gym’s and trainers out there. 

 

I did the test today. Here are my results:

1. Atomic Pushups: 18
2. Suspended Lunge (Left Leg): 21
   Suspended Lunge (Right Leg): 21
3. Back Rows: 20
4. Hip Press: 24
5. Postural Squat: 20

Good Luck All

No, you don't to do these same exercises all month.  You can do whatever type of exercise you want just as long as you stay moving.  I love the TRX so it will be a big part of my routine.   Some days I will use it for weight traiing and some days for flexibility.  I am also going to incorporate a lot of running and some biking into my training.  The object of the challenge is to stay moving and at the end of 31 days see if you have improved over your initial fitness test.

 Good Luck!!!

My results:

Atomic Push-ups: 14

Suspended Lunge (Left Leg): 17

Suspended Lunge (Right Leg): 17

Back Row: 12

Hip Press: 29

Postural Squat: 17 

 

Well after my test last night I did a lower body workout with the TRX and my legs are smoked.  Either way, only place to go is up.  so upper body workout today with a stretching and flexability workout will commence after work.

 

Liking the competion thing we'll see how it goes.
