Whether you want to generate more power in your athletic movements or you just want to look better in those jeans, it seems like everyone is all about the booty these days. In order to help you reach your goals, TRX Master Instructor, Shana Verstegen notes that getting a BETTER BUTT can be as simple as adding these two TRX exercises.
Watch Shana demonstrate these simple Suspension Training exercises. One you can do without the Suspension Trainer (the Lunge), the other (the One-legged Squat)… you can’t (at least, most of us can’t). And that's what makes the Suspension Trainer such a versatile and invaluable tool.
No matter your ability level, working with the Suspension Trainer will help you target those muscles in the glutes, hips and thighs, burn the calories and get the BETTER BUTT you’re after.
