TRX can be difficult to explain to someone who has never seen this type of workout before. I will try my best to explain it as easy as possible.

Hundreds of workouts can be performed with this type of equipment by adjusting the body’s position.

Often times, TRX straps are yellow and black. However, you can search the Internet and they are appearing in multiple colors now. The straps are attached to a ceiling or on a wall high above a person’s height. There are two handles, where one would hold or place their feet in during the exercise.
