The Crossfit philosophy is a broad approach to strength and conditioning. At its core, Crossfit programming focuses on metabolic, or energy system conditioning and some unique strength exercises.
Moving quickly from one exercise to the next and the use of high intensity cardio sets are trademark program components. The TRX is a great complement to Crossfit or any fitness and performance program.

You have the Military Fitness Guide so you have a perfect complement to Crossfit training. You can follow the program as laid out in the guide. According to your fitness level and time constraints you can as many days a week as desired. You can also build your own workout from the exercise examples.

You will notice that most of the Crossfit routines are high intensity and short in duration. To keep with this approach you can use the more challenging movements in a series of 4 to 8 movements performed with no rest in between for 2-4 sets for time.

For example here is a great program using minimal equipment:
1.         Pull-ups - max reps
2.         TRX Pendulum swings - 1 min
3.         Jump rope - 2 min
4.         TRX Suspended lunge - 1 min each leg
5.         TRX Suspended plank with taps - 1 min each side
6.         Jump rope - 2 min
7.         TRX Suspended incline press - max reps
8.         Pull-ups – max reps

That is about a 12 -minute workout, one time through and longer if you go for another circuit!

What you will find is that the TRX is designed for this type of training because of its easy set up and usage with hundreds of exercises, progressions and ways to increase and decrease intensity. Remember the exercises you choose for maximum results depends on your fitness level and mastering the early progressions.

I own a TRX Force Training Kit and I also participate in Crossfit. I'm going away for training for a few months and would like to create a Crossfit style workout using the TRX, what exercises would you suggest?
