NEW! FitDeck TRX Suspension Trainer, Making Fitness Fun!

Fitness Anywhere — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:46:00 GMT

Just when you thought that we could not make the TRX any more fun, we went and made a game out of it. We have partnered with FitDeck, the fitness deck of cards to help build a foundation of fitness by creating hundreds of basic workouts that are, simple, convenient and fun. Together we developed the FitDeck TRX Suspension Trainer. This deck of card is specifically designed to challenge your exercise routine and keep it fresh and interesting.

This deck of 26 cards can be used on their own or combined with other FitDecks to maximize your possibilities. The simplest way to use the deck is to shuffle the deck, pull the top card, do the exercise and then work your way through the pile. But that is not the only way to use it. Check out FitDeck's suggested games or come up with some of your own.

We at Fitness Anywhere have always been dedicated to making fitness challenging and fun and what better way than to make a game out of it!

My 12 Weeks

Grant — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 20:19:12 GMT

I started the FORCE program this last weekend. I've done the first two workouts and I am really looking forward to the next 46.

Between the beginning of the year and now I was a regular in the pool, avg 5000 yds/week, until about 2 weeks ago. Work got busy and I stopped swimming. Now things are calming down and I’m going to try to get back into a routine. Yesterday was Day 2 of the TRX FORCE 12 Week Training program. It seems to be a well written and thoughtout strength program. I have not started the running plan yet. Maybe tonight if I leave work at a decent time. In a perfect world I would do the running plan and swim on the "other cardio" days.

The hardest part of completing this workout is that I will be working out by myself in my basement. There is something to be said for going to the gym and having that place set aside for nothing but workouts. There are so many distractions at home. If anyone has any suggestions for avoiding the temptations that will draw me away from my workout, please let me know!

I will try to post updates on my progress and thoughts about the program as I work through it.

Until then. . . . .

Hey Mike

Did you ever try the kettlebell TRX metabolic fusion that I posted? I'm sure my technique could be improved but I was looking forward to your take on it?

Day 1, I read the rules and watched the video of The Test. Ready to get home and take The Test. I will reply tonight with my results. I plan on 3 days on the TRX and 3 days of bike riding per week. Besides The Test exercises, does anyone have suggestions for more exercises? Better yet, what are your favorite TRX exercises? I personally like the lunges (I am into cycling).

There is no such thing as a silly question.

The best place to plan, track, comment and talk about your workouts is in the Track Your Progress portion of the 31-Day Fitness Challenge forum.

Week 6: Strength Workout 2

Fitness Anywhere — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 00:33:00 GMT

More reps for the TRX Suspended Incline Press and the TRX Elevated Back Row in this workout-but you have more time to complete these added reps. When you find yourself in an inverted position during the TRX Suspended Incline Press, make sure you keep your shoulders down and back, with a tight core. Three chest and shoulder exercises in a row will bring on a good muscle burn. Throw in a TRX Chest Stretch during one of your set rests or transition times to open up those muscles. Start by facing away from the TRX with a handle in each hand, extend your arms out to the sides like a letter "T" and step forward with a leg to increase the stretch. Keep your head and ribs lifted.

Looking for another progression? The TRX Chest Press can be done with feet elevated (look at the pictures above). Try a couple of reps to test it out.
