TRX Exercise Guidelines

Do not skip the warm up or cool down.

To begin, perform each TRX exercise for 60 seconds only, with 60 seconds rest between each exercise. Progress to 90 seconds for each exercise, again with 60 seconds rest. The goal is to reach failure within that 60-or-90 seconds, and then continue your exertion against that resistance for an additional 10 seconds.

When you can perform the exercise for 90 seconds without failure, progress the difficulty of that exercise as follows:

To make most standing exercises harder, do one or both of the following:

• Move your feet toward the anchor point (increasing your body angle)
• Narrow your base of support (feet spread wide is easiest, feet together is harder, single leg balance is hardest)

To make most standing exercises easier, adopt a split stance, moving one foot forward to support some of your weight and provide additional balance.
