Hi Workout at Home Fan,

WOW! You have got to check this out…

You have probably heard that stars such as Jeniffer Lopez and Daisy Fuentes stay in shape by using the TRX Suspension Trainer but I just discovered that Fast and Furious Star Matt Schulze fighter got ripped after using the TRX for just two months.

Click the following link to discover the TRX Suspension Trainer

It turns out that Matt Schulze discovered the TRX straps through his mother’s fitness trainer.

Schultze hired his mother’s fitness trainer to help him get in shape for his latest Fast And Furious movie.

At first he thought the straps were kind of lame but after using them to train for a movie he soon became a believer in suspension exercise.

If you have seen Matt Schulze recently then you will know that the results of his TRX Training speaks for itself.

The really cool thing about the TRX is that it is so amazingly portable.

The TRX Suspension Trainer was invented out of necessity by Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick because he and his fellow SEALs needed a way to workout when they were deployed to remote locations around the globe.

The TRX weighs in at less than 2 pounds yet quicly packs into a pouch to allow you to workout anywhere and at anytime.

You can attach it in seconds to a door and workout in the comfort of your home or attach it to a tree or post outside and workout outside .

You can workout on the exact same equipment that top pro athletes like Superbowl Champion Quarterback Drew Brees , Carmello Anthony of the NBA or MMA Fighter George St. Pierre use for just a fraction of the cost of a traditional home gym.

And unlike a home gym , every exercise that you perform on the TRX Suspension Trainer will serve to strengthen your core and abs as your body works to balance and stabilize itself.

You can perform over 300 core exercises with the TRX

The TRX fits Matt Schultze like a glove because he is able to take it with him on the road while he was working on movies and workout in his hotel room or even on the set of a movie.

Fast and Furious Star Trains on TRX

By Andrew Vontz

Now that the weekend is here, maybe you’re looking to unwind after a hectic week with a good movie tonight. Might we suggest The Fast and the Furious or perhaps Blade, two great action flicks featuring former MMA fighter and fanatical triathlete Matt Schulze.

The Hollywood star has access to every imaginable training resource and a physique that reflects his dedication to fitness. But after using the TRX Suspension Trainer, Schulze was so impressed with the results, he contacted Fitness Anywhere to share his experience.

“I’ve only been using the TRX for two months, and I got ripped,” he says, chuckling in disbelief.

Hi Workout At Home Fan,

Prepare to be WOWED!

This video post will interest you if you are a tennis player who aspires to play more powerful tennis with a tennis specific TRX Suspension Exercise workout from  former U.S. Men’s  top five tennis player James Blake.

Click on the following link to discover TRX Tennis

You will not get a workout like this from your local pro or tennis coach.

Chances are you have never seen anything like this workout.

This is not the same old push up and sprint routine that you did in high school tennis.

This workout will allow you to power up your tennis game by focusing mainly on your core.

All of your power comes from your core and every exercise performed on the TRX will serve to strengthen your core producing more powerful shots in tennis.

Read on and you will have access to the exact  tennis specific workout with the TRX Suspension trainer that Blake uses to make explosive serves, forehands and backhands.

Also,   In the video below you will see tennis pro James Blake returning a cannon ball blast of a  serve to make an explosive yet laser targeted wining forehand shot.

Imagine being able to hit a winning shot like this as your opponent just stands there flat footed and glassy eyed wondering why they bothered to show up.

This is one of the hardest and best placed forehands that I have ever witnessed and it is incredible to think that Blake earlier in the year sustained a would be career injury.

Blake’s story is similar to Superbowl winning quarterback Drew Brees comeback from a would be career ending shoulder injury to being one of the strongest and most impressive quarterbacks in the NFL.

At 30 years of age Blake could have just retired but instead with the help of Suspension Exercise with the TRX Suspension trainer he has come back and he will be competing in next week’s U.S. Open.

Tennis Pro James Blake Talks TRX

By Fitness Anywhere

Ever tried returning a tennis ball speeding at 100 mph. Rest assured, it’s not as easy as pros like James Blake make it look. Recently, we sat down with James to learn his favorite TRX exercises and find out how the TRX not only helped him rehab a serious injury, but return to the pro ranks stronger.

Hi Workout At Home Enthusiast,

I found this great article that will interest you if you want to get a world class workout at home or anywhere with an extremely portable and affordable gym.

Or if you think you may want to buy a TRX but are not sure if it is right for you.

The article below is a great review and gives you the thoughts and experiences of several Canadians some of which are experiencing Suspension Training for their first time.

Although the TRX at first glance looks unimpressive …like some seat belt straps …it is used by some of the most elite pro athletes in the world…like Super Bowl Winning Quarterback Drew Brees….MMA champion George St. Pierre, the oldest pitcher in baseball Jamie Moyer,  and NBA star Carmello Anthony to name just a few…

The amazing thing about the TRX Suspension Trainer is that it sets up in mere seconds by attaching it indoors to a door or a wall with optional attachment bracket or outside to a tree, fence or post so that you can workout at home or anywhere.

Check out the article below to see what Canadians think of the TRX…

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Personal trainer Jennifer Marucci demonstrates an “atomic pushup” using the TRX Suspension Training equipment.

If you happen to stay up late enough to catch the persuasive infomercial on television, then you’ll know the unsightly contraption is actually a piece of fitness equipment that’s supposed to get users muscled up, no dumbbells required.

It’s called the TRX. Super Bowl-winning quarterback Drew Brees reportedly uses the system to stay in shape.

Developed by an American Navy SEAL who made the original TRX out of sewn-together parachute webbing, the suspension training system is one of the latest trends to create a buzz in the fitness world.

Today, personal trainer Allan Zimmer instructs four young women in his studio to each climb into a TRX unit and pushes them through a particular exercise.

Each of the women — Kym Shwaluke, Kellea Johnston, Denise Young and Kathy Vlaming — attempts to tackle the allotted task.

A droplet of sweat moves slowly down Young’s face. The real estate agent is strapped into a TRX doing her best single-leg squat.

Zimmer, owner of Sustainable Fitness, praises her efforts and reminds her to concentrate. Judging by their flushed faces, the others in the group are putting in just as much effort. It’s not easy.

“You’re leaning and you’re thinking, ‘Oh my God. If I let go, I’m going to fall on my face,’” says Young.

“But there’s really no way that you’re going to fall over.”

Hi Workout At Home Fan,

I found this great article for you that will be of great interest if you want to change the state of high school athletics in your town for the better.

And if you want to turn out  stronger, more competitive and less injury prone athletes while costing your school far less money by introducing your athletes to suspension training.

Casey Stutzman is a high school football coach,  a certified personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach.

He revitalized the entire athletics program at Alpena High School where he works by introducing the TRX Suspension Trainer.

The TRX Suspension trainer is a portable gym that was invented by a Navy SEAL and is currently being used by pro athletes and trainers in virtually all sports.

The gym at Alpena High School sounds a lot like the high school that I went to.  It was too small and we had one weight machine with about six stations.   When we did get to use it we had to line up and in the time we had we would get one rep in if we were lucky.

Back then we thought that workout machines were the way to go but now we know better.

Machines isolate different parts of the body while the TRX Suspension Trainer works your entire core with each and every exercise.

The TRX also allows you to perform over 300 core exercises anywhere and at anytime.

Students not only can work out at their school athletic facility but they can also set the TRX up at home in mere seconds by attaching it to a door or a tree to workout in their back yard.

Another huge advantage of the TRX is that it costs a fraction of the cost of a traditional weight training machine.

Check out the article below to see how Casey Stutzman transfored the entire athletic department at his high school.

Our industry is in a constant state of change.

Included in this metamorphosis is our training of young athletes with more emphasis being placed on movement skills and functional training as opposed to traditional weight training.

The TRX is at the forefront of this student athlete movement.

No other tool is as appropriate or as versatile for training this user group. TRX can be used in the weight room, on the basketball court, outside… you name it!

I began working with Alpena High School (AHS) and their athletic programs four years ago as a private contractor.

As with most high schools, the AHS weight room is poorly shaped, under sized and on a very tight budget.

An additional challenge was the limited understanding of proper training methodology for young athletes.

TRX has changed the way I train our young athletes.

They have seen greater increases in strength and performance and a decrease in weight room injuries and excessive joint pain (caused when developing bodies try to lift heavy weights!).

Hey Workout At Home Fan,

This workout is for you if you are a cyclist who wants to stay in the race with a workout at home designed by Lance Armstrongs Tour De France trainer Allen Lim that will help to crash proof yourself in future races.

As you have seen in this years Tour De France unfortuneately crashes are a big part of cycling.

At times the riders are bunched up closely in a group and all kinds of bumping takes place.

Things get worse when the streets are wet from rain or if there are icy conditions.

It is probably inevitable that you will someday crash…

What if you had a portable fitness tool that you could take with you anywhere. ..and what if you had a concise workout from one of the best trainers in the world that could prepare you to be a little more agile and flexible so that you could not only survive a crash but get back into the race.

I don’t know if Lance Armstrong can win this years Tour de France.

He survived a serious crash and maybe thanks to the workout below he got back in the race but now he   is minutes behind the leader  as I write this post…but I would not count him out.

He is a fierce competitor and he will be a monster as usual in the French Alps as he has been every year.

Be sure to check out the great article below by Andrew Vontz.

It includes a short, specific workout designed to keep you in the race…

The Tour de France (starting this Saturday, July 3 – set your TiVo now!) tests pro cyclists with three straight weeks of racing. During those three weeks, the smallest edge can make the difference between a rider winning the race and dropping out.

That’s why Radio Shack, the team of seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and three-time Tour of California winner Levi Leipheimer, brought Allen Lim on board as the team’s sport scientist.

Lim earned his reputation as a forward-thinking innovator in the cycling world with his groundbreaking Ph.D. dissertation on power meter-based training at the University of Colorado-Boulder years before wattage-based training became the norm for competitive cyclists.

Prior to joining the Shack, Lim played the same role for the Garmin-Transitions team where he worked with athletes including four-time US time trial champion Dave Zabriskie and Tour de France contender Christian Vande Velde.

“My role at Radio Shack is to think about innovation, think about technology, think about the processes the guys go through and bring innovations to the team that work day to day. Some ideas people bring to me don’t fit into the culture or the daily routine and end up being logistically implausible to use.”

Hi Workout At Home Fan,

I found a great post that will interest you if you are a beginner at suspension training or you  would like to buy a TRX but are not sure what to expect or how to start.

You have probably seen the TRX Suspension trainer in our banners and around the internet.

Usually the TRX images show some buff athlete or Super Bowl Champion Quarterback Drew Brees using it.

You may be surprised to know however that the TRX was also featured on the Biggest Loser TV show.

This serves as proof that even obese and out of shape people can use and benefit from using the TRX.

Even children are using the TRX .

The TRX is being used to train young  dancers, at boot camps for kids and recently I saw it being used to train young swimmers who hope to go to the olympics.

TRX can be used by anyone regardless of their age or fitness level.

The TRX is even being used by physical therapists and occupational therapists to rehab patients after injuries and to improve their functional strength so that they can resume everyday activities.

Fitness Anywhere Community

There’s no shame in trying something new, especially if that something new is going to help make you a healthier, more fit and stronger person with greater endurance, speed, power, energy, mobility and vitality.

If you bought a TRX and you’re ready to go, focus on those outcomes, because that’s what you have ahead of you.

Before that first workout, though, don’t be intimidated because you’re not in the shape you’d like to be in or you’ve never had the chance to use a TRX before.

It’s perfectly normal to feel uncoordinated and imbalanced when you’re new to any physical activity.

If you put a pro football player on a snowboard for the first time, he’d probably fall getting off the chairlift.

And when he did finally stand up, he’d probably fall over again.

You’re not going to fall over when you use the TRX, but you are going to experience new physical sensations and challenges to your body that will seem unfamiliar…

I found this funny article for you about a Syracuse fitness editor who wondered how hard working out on the TRX could be.

She will  take you through an actual   review of the TRX Suspension trainer and in the process guide you through an intense full body head to toe core workout.

This article is for you if perhaps you have let your fitness lapse some due to being too busy to workout because of work or doing stuff with your kids or family.

Though humerous this article actually gives you a chance to experience how suspension training with the TRX can give you an intense  a full body head to toe workout at home or anywhere.

But there is no need over do it on your first TRX workout.

There are over 300 TRX exercises to choose from and you can adjust the intensity of each exercise by merely shifting your bodyweight.

Anyone can use the TRX regardless of age or fitness level.

The TRX is currently being used by Top athletes and trainers  in all sports.

A few notable pro athletes who use the TRX are Superbowl Winning Quarterback Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints,  7 Time Tour De France Winner Lance Armstrong and  MMA Champion Fighter George St. Pierre.

The TRX is also being used by personal trainers and physical therapist to help patients recover from injury.

Read the following post to see how Amber Smith was “beaten by the strap” -

The Post-Standard

How hard could it be?

Well aware that these are famous last words, I watched three women of my generation work out with the “TRX Suspension Training” system, still thinking the strap was tame. I’d slacked off of my pushups and sit-ups, and I’d added some weight in recent months, but still: How hard could it be?

It arrived coiled in a little sack no larger than a lunch bag. Even with its center clipped to a stud or overhead beam, TRX becomes two limp, dangling straps.

Well, I’m here to tell you, that’s what my arms were the next morning: limp, dangling–and sore. Yes, it was a good sore, the burning sore that reminds you what a great workout you had.

But still.

What’s so exciting to me is that they are using a piece of equipment that just about anyone can afford.

According to trainer Lim he chose the TRX Suspension Trainer so that his team can do strength maintenance, balance, mobility and core work throughout the year.

The TRX  portability allows it to be used by cyclists anywhere including hotel rooms, in a gym or an office. It can even be attached to a door or to a wall to be used in the comfort of your home.

Just imagine now you can workout anywhere with the exact same equipment used by Lance Armstrong  or Levi Leipheimer for just a fraction of what it would cost for a weight machine.

Parents are plunking down hundreds of dollars just so that their kids will be a little faster in their favorite sport.

But here is a way that you can workout at home with the extremely portable and affordable TRX Suspension Trainer and improve your running speed.

The TRX is extremely portable weighing in at less than three pounds  and it  can be set up inside by attaching it to a door to workout at home or it can be attached to a sturdy fence or post to workout outdoors.

Hey Everyone,

I found something that is very important especially if you either  have kids or know kids who play youth soccer.

The article below by Scott Moody  outlines some specific exercises that can be performed by your soccer playing youth  on the TRX Suspension Trainer that may keep your child injury free this soccer season.

You can learn more about the TRX Suspension Trainer by clicking on the following link:

TRX Portable Gym

My nine year old Ashley is a warrior on the soccer field but I do worry about her as I am sure you worry about your soccer star.

The following article  addresses the risk of injury caused by sudden deceleration in soccer due to a lack of strength and  agility.

You may want to pass this article along to your kids soccer coach or parents to help address this area of concern.

Scott shows actual photos of the wrong and right way that a soccer player should decelerate and he points out three problem areas that can cause injury.

A summary of the problem areas are as follows:

• Lack of hamstring and glute strength
• Lack of Upper back and shoulder strenth
• Improper movement and synchonization over one leg

Then Scott gives three specific exercises to solve these three problems using the TRX Suspension Trainer.

With the TRX Suspension trainer kids can workout at home, on the soccer field or anywhere to increase their functional strength, flexibility and agility to help prevent injuries.

Agility in Youth Soccer

By Scott Moody

When soccer players change direction at full speed, we like to coach them to use the inside leg (athlete’s left leg in Figure 1 below) as their primary decelerator.

This is not to say that the outside leg has no role in the deceleration. The outside leg needs to finish the deceleration and begin the push into the acceleration phase.

When an athlete tries to use the outside leg as the primary decelerator, the result is usually knee, torso or shoulder sway (Figure 1), which causes the center of mass to shift toward the outside leg, away from the direction the athlete is trying to run.

This causes delays in the transition (i.e. the ability to get out of a directional change quickly), thus making the athlete appear to get “stuck” in the cut.
