TRX Pushups Exercise

                  TRX Pushups Exercise

TRX pushups are a variation of the traditional pushup that involves using a TRX suspension trainer to add an extra challenge to the exercise. TRX suspension trainers consist of two adjustable straps with handles that can be anchored to a secure point, such as a door frame, a bar, or a sturdy beam.

Here's how you can perform TRX pushups:

1. Setup:

   • Anchor the TRX suspension trainer securely at a height that allows you to perform pushups with your hands at shoulder level or slightly below.
   • 
     
   • Hold one handle in each hand, facing down toward the floor.
   • 
     
   • Position yourself in a plank position, with your feet together and your body straight, leaning forward so that your hands are directly below your shoulders.
   • 
     

2. Execution:

   • Lower your body down toward the floor by bending your elbows. Keep your core engaged and your body in a straight line throughout the movement.
   • 
     
   • Go as low as you can comfortably control without touching the ground.
   • 
     
   • Push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms.
   • 
     

3. Tips:

   • Focus on maintaining a stable plank position throughout the exercise.
   • 
     
   • Keep your elbows close to your body as you perform the pushup.
   • 
     
   • Control the movement both on the way down and on the way up, avoiding any sudden jerking motions.
   • 
     
   • Adjust the intensity of the exercise by changing the angle of your body. The more horizontal your body is to the ground, the more challenging the pushup will be.
   • 
     

TRX pushups are an excellent exercise to target your chest, shoulders, triceps, and core muscles. They also engage your stabilizing muscles more than traditional pushups, making them a great functional training exercise.

As with any exercise, it's important to perform TRX pushups with proper form to prevent injury and get the most out of the movement. If you're new to TRX or unsure about the correct technique, consider seeking guidance from a fitness professional.
