One day, it simply occurred to him that he would make a knot on the jiu-jitsu tape, throw it over the door, close it, and see if pulling towards the tape would help him create a movement similar to climbing a ladder. <strong>He basically figured out how to use gravity and his own body weight as a fitness aid.<\/strong> At the end of the 1990s, his suspension trainer was popular mainly among soldiers, since it represented an easy way to exercise effectively almost anywhere.<span style=\"color:#ff6600\" class=\"tadv-color\"> [1]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The original design had the shape of an inverted Y without the possibility of adjusting the length of the straps, as we know it today. Since then, there has been a huge shift in the appearance and properties of the suspension trainer. <strong>Training with TRX became gradually popular with the public and a new fitness trend was born.<\/strong> This effective fitness aid has spread from the USA all over the world, and nowadays, you can find TRX in almost every gym. <strong>In today&#8217;s article, we will explain everything, describe the benefits and introduce you effective exercises with the suspension trainer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/\u0424\u043e\u0442\u043e-8-1-1124x749.jpg\" alt=\"TRX is an effective fitness aid\" class=\"wp-image-260562\" style=\"width:843px;height:562px\" title=\"The suspension trainer is an effective fitness aid\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/\u0424\u043e\u0442\u043e-8-1-1124x749.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/\u0424\u043e\u0442\u043e-8-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/\u0424\u043e\u0442\u043e-8-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/\u0424\u043e\u0442\u043e-8-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_the_suspension_trainer_work\"><\/span>How does the suspension trainer work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Training with TRX works by exposing your body to instability. You then have to balance it and you automatically engage the core of the body during each exercise. <strong>Thanks to this, you work on a strong body and at the same time, you improve your ability to maintain balance<\/strong>. When you hang your arms or legs in the straps, your body weight becomes your load and you must resist gravity. You can easily affect difficulty by adjusting the length of the straps or changing the inclination of the body. <strong>By using TRX, you can work out almost like you would during a regular fitness workout in the gym.<\/strong> You can effectively do exercises based on traction, as well as pressure and rotation, but also squats or lunges. <span style=\"color:#ff6600\" class=\"tadv-color\">[2]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Workouts with the <a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/suspension-training-set-gymbeam.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"suspension trainer (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">suspension trainer<\/a> are popular in group fitness classes, and more and more people have been training with them in the gym or on the street workout park. <strong>This is a very compact and portable aid which you simply attach to a horizontal <a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/multifunctional-pull-up-bar-gymbeam.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">bar<\/a>, a tree branch or attach to an <a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/wall-anchor-x-mount-gymbeam.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"x-mount (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">x-mount<\/a> and you can start exercising.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_should_you_exercise_with_a_suspension_trainer_such_as_TRX_Discover_its_8_biggest_benefits\"><\/span>Why should you exercise with a suspension trainer such as TRX?

It is light, portable and easy to adjust. What are its other benefits and why should you include it in your training routine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. You will engage your whole body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the suspension trainer offers an intensive abdominal training, it is not the only body part you can use it for. <strong>TRX is an abbreviation for Total Body Resistance Exercise, which translates as full-body resistance or strength training. <\/strong>In addition to many variants of the plank, you can also work out a variety of exercises for your abdomen, arms, back, glutes and legs. Most of them are complex ones, which means that you will engage several body parts at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, by exercising with the suspension trainer, you also <strong>build functional strength.<\/strong> This is not measured by the circumference of biceps, but by the ability to effectively perform common movements, such as carrying heavy purchases or moving furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"749\" height=\"1124\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/TZP03096-749x1124.jpg\" alt=\"How does TRX work?\" class=\"wp-image-260576\" title=\"How does the suspension trainer work?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/TZP03096-749x1124.jpg 749w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/TZP03096-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/TZP03096-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/TZP03096-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/TZP03096-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. You will strengthen the core of your body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will engage your core or deep spinal stabilizing system with almost every exercise using the suspension trainer. This is because these exercises require more emphasis on body stability and coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The core connects the upper half of the body&nbsp;to the&nbsp;lower half of the body and, when properly engaged, maintains the stability of the spine and pelvis. This protects the locomotor system from injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A strong core improves flexibility, stability, coordination and posture during daily activities. Whether you lift a heavy barbell or clean the house, it is your reliable support.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Runners will certainly appreciate the fact that a strong core can also help them speed up and improve their running technique, since the power will be transferred to the lower limbs more effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A strong core of the body also protects your back<\/strong> from injury or pain caused by poor posture. To have a strong, well-built abs you don&#8217;t have to do crunches all the time.  Try functional training with TRX instead. <span style=\"color:#ff6600\" class=\"tadv-color\">[3-4]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to do a quick workout focused on abs, try, for example, the one in our article <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/effective-6-minute-abs-workout-at-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Effective 6-Minute Abs Workout at Home.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. You will build muscle mass and alleviate muscle imbalances<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t exercised with TRX yet, you may think it&#8217;s a light cardio activity and it will certainly not make your muscles grow. But the opposite is true. Once you try a few exercises or intense training with the suspension trainer, your tired and sore muscles will prove you wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When researchers compared the impact of training with the suspension trainer&nbsp;to the regular strength training in the gym, they found that the effect of both approaches was similar.<\/strong> This means that just using your own weight with the help of a suspension trainer can also help you grow muscle mass. It has also been found that <strong>the body responds to this type of exercise,<\/strong> as in traditional heavy weight training, with increased production of growth hormone which is one of the anabolic hormones that support the growth and protection of muscle mass. <span style=\"color:#ff6600\" class=\"tadv-color\">[5-7]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>According to some studies, you can also reduce muscle imbalances by training with TRX.<\/strong> This is probably due to the fact that exercising with a suspension trainer requires the right technique and even involvement of muscle groups. Some sportsmen, such as swimmers, can also use TRX training to effectively prevent shoulder pain, since shoulder are put to a strain when swimming. <span style=\"color:#ff6600\" class=\"tadv-color\">[8-9]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in how to effectively gain muscle mass, you will learn all the essentials in the article <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/what-to-eat-and-how-to-exercise-to-finally-gain-muscle\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">What to Eat and How to Exercise to Finally Gain Muscle?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC09750-1124x750.jpg\" alt=\"Exercising with TRX helps you lose weight\" class=\"wp-image-260642\" style=\"width:843px;height:563px\" title=\"Exercising with the suspension trainer helps you lose weight\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC09750-1124x750.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC09750-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC09750-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC09750-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
