Looking for a speedy fitness fix to kick off your weekend? Well, look no further.
This week, we’re sharing an effective and time-efficient workout using TRX.
TRX is essentially suspension training. You will probably have seen the equipment hanging from a rig at your local gym, and the straps can be used in loads of different ways to strengthen and tone using your own bodyweight.
If you’ve never tried TRX before, worry not, jual cytotec yogyakarta this workout is perfect for beginners. And you can do it from home (you can buy yourself a suspension kit fairly cheaply online – and you can attach it to a doorframe, or a sturdy tree in your garden).
‘As an experienced TRX coach and brand ambassador, I have put together a basic full-body 20 minute workout that you can also do from home,’ says personal trainer and owner of Breathe Fitness, Anthony Mayatt.
