SLING EXERCISES activate core

GEAR LOVE: TRX. ALTHOUGH A TRX SUSPENSION SYSTEM IS A RELATIVELY EXPENSIVE PIECE OF FITNESS EQUIPMENT TO PURCHASE FOR HOME USE (roughly $145) for the exercises that incorporate its use might be included in trainer-designed gym workouts.  If you’re not currently exercising with TRX you might consider attempting exercises demonstrated in one of the articles described below.
 
Also known as sling exercises in the scientific research literature, this type of training was shown, in a small German study (44 patients) to be more beneficial to older adults (age 62-84 years) with osteoporosis (Bone Mineral Density T-score equal to or less than 2.5) in improving mobility and reducing fall risk than traditional physical therapy.  Pain was alleviated by both types of exercise.
 
  • A High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout with only 4 moves developed by Trainer Jason Tran, is offered in an article posted on SHAPE.com by Emily Abbate that is worth checking out for those who have ready access to TRX equipment.
  • Diana Charkalis delivers “16 TRX Exercise for a Full Body Workout” in another article, posted on livestrong.com, that incorporates moves using the lower body as well and includes some exercises permed by patients in the research study.
 
Both Abbate’s and Charkalis’ routines take advantage of the suspension system’s unique construction, which Charkalis informs was developed by a US Navy Seal, to build strength, endurance and balance.

Also known as sling exercises in the scientific research literature, this type of training was shown, in a small German study (44 patients) to be more beneficial to older adults (age 62-84 years) with osteoporosis (Bone Mineral Density T-score equal to or less than 2.5) in improving mobility and reducing fall risk than traditional physical therapy.  Pain was alleviated by both types of exercise

Performing any exercise using the sling system that ordinarily would not utilize one, like a push-up, transforms it to a move that significant increases core activation, and makes it much more difficult in my experience. Experiment a bit in 2020 if you haven’t used one before or add a couple new TRX moves to your list of exercises if you are already familiar with the tougher muscle-shaking workout it can provide.
 
RUN & MOVE HAPPY!
