It is regarded as one of the top tools for core strengthening and toning available. Not only a toning device, the TRX assists with functional training. In life we move in all directions – forward, backward, sideways and diagonally. We stand, bend, sit, lift, push and pull to accomplish daily tasks.
On this unit you will simulate all those movements and more – you will activate sensory neurons in the brain therefore you are working out your mind as well as your body. A typical TRX workout takes only 20 minutes whereas a standard gym workout takes approximately an hour. If golfing is your game the TRX system is for you. This is an excellent tool for increasing rotational power, core strength, balance, flexibility and range of motion. According to Dr. Pete Rose, Cofounder of Titleist Performance Institute, “The TRX system is essential for those who focus on golf-specific functional fitness, stability training and core development.”
