You have probably seen the black and yellow bands hanging from the ceiling at your gym. What are they?
According to the TRX homepage HERE, TRX Training is a suspension training system that uses your bodyweight and gravity to improve mobility, flexibility, strength, endurance, power, core strength, and heart health with seven basic movements for a lifetime of personalized and challenging home workouts.
The seven simple TRX moves are Push, Pull, Plank, Hinge, Lunge, Squat, and Rotate.
By using the TRX bands, you can work your upper and lower body + your total body.
