Hey everybody, below is an article describing what Suspension Training is, and how it can benefit you. When starting this type of training it is best to be guided by a Fitness Professional, as movements need to be accurate and controlled. I have also posted a video in the news and events section which shows some movements. I am currently holding introductory sessions for anyone who would like to have a taste of this exciting new form of training. Email me through my Contact Us page to book your session now.
Best,
Jon
SUSPENSION TRAINING
A new category of exercise for people of all abilities, that leverages one's own bodyweight and gravity to develop strength, balance, flexibilty and joint stability simultaneously.
BENEFITS:
Make Your Body Your Machine
TRX Suspension Training harnesses your own body weight to create resistance as you train. Thats all you need the TRX and your own body. No weights required.
Unlimited Versatility
We're all unique not only is each person's body built a little differently, but we each fill our lives with a mix of physical activities that can require specific training. With the TRX you can change the level of difficulty and customize your workout.
Maximise Your Training Time
The TRX alows you to switch through various exercises with ease which allows for different types of intense circuit training.
Build Core Strength
Building a strong core will improve posture, prevent injuries and increase overall strength. This is because all of our movements are powered by the torso - the abs and back work together to support the spine during everyday activites and exercise. Suspension training builds core strength with every exercise by creating an element of instability that calls on your core to provide balance and co ordination.
Life Doesn't Happen Sitting Down
In real life our bodies move to the side, backwards, forwards and diagonally. In contrast to most peoples current fitness programs, this is the way we should train. Unlike traditional weight traing which tends to be linear and follow one plane of movement(Sagittal), Suspension training encourages multiplanar training (Frontal, Sagittal, Transverse) which integrates all your motions and mimics real life movement. This will give your body greater symmetry, increase performance and prevent injuries.
