TRX

I workout twice a week with my boxing trainer as well. Rather than only boxing, he’s trained me to use equipment such as the sandbag and the TRX.

Since I do not have access to a gym with heavy weights, I am focusing on improving my strength using kettlebells, bands (I use 4Kors bands), and my TRX at home about 2-3 days a week. My workouts are around 40 minutes long and are completed in circuits.

I carry Trx, band, jump rope, mouth card, lots of clothes, boxing gloves,

Finally, I added an elliptical machine and a TRX system. I am proud to say it was better than going to the gym as I didn’t have to fight for equipment.

4 years later and I now teach several modalities including kettlebells, pilates, cycle, barre and TRX.

Fortunately I have a barbell, weights, 12.5kg dumbbells, a few Kettlebell, a wallball, a TRX and chin up station – in fact quite a lot of gear: so I can keep going. Maintenance is the name of the game here!!

I put my all into everything that I do in life, and a sponsorship would be exactly the same. I tend to train at home now, I have many adjustable dumbbells, barbell, mat, yoga ball, TRX, spinning bike, and of course myself for HIIT and body weights.

I’m in week 3 of quarantine, so pushing myself to keep training – this is now under the form of home workouts with a set of dumbells or TRX ropes – becomes more challenging.

To date, I’ve created over 500 unique challenging, yet fun HIIT workouts; some are bodyweight only, some use kettlebells, sandbags, dumbbells, even the TRX. I love HIITs! They’re so hard but they’re short and you feel so accomplished when you’re done.

Recovery starts at the gym. I start my workout with a five-minute warm up using resistance bands or form roller or the TRX Training Conditioning Rope, and sometimes even five minutes on the treadmill.

I am a holistic health practitioner, fitness specialist, a 200 RYT – yoga instructor as well as TRX and Above Barre certified. But really I am a free spirit who loves being healthy and sharing my passion with others.

For example: Pull day, Knee Dominant Leg Day, Push Day, Hip Dominant Day, and Core. Another example would be: Kettlebell day, TRX day, Barbell day, Resistance Band/Cable day, and VIPR day.

Six or so months in, we had a training day based around ‘functional training’ and TRX in particular and it was here that the calisthenics journey began. The guy teaching our course could do muscle ups, pistol squats etc.
