Fitness classes are the ultimate trifecta: physical activity, sweat therapy, and jam session. This spring, TRX launched its TRX LIVE series, delivering fresh, daily workouts from some of the top TRX trainers around the world. Now, we’re sweetening that experience with our TRX Spotify channel. Photo by sgcdesignco on Unsplash Make It Work For many of you, music is a major motivator and this is another way to enjoy the complete TRX class experience at home. If you’re working out with TRX LIVE via desktop, download and open the Spotify app on your computer, and fire up one of our playlists. Our TRX workouts stream via YouTube, and you can run both a workout and a Spotify playlist at the same time.  To adjust the sound balance between the music and your trainer’s instructions, check out the lower, right-hand corner of the Spotify window, where you’ll see a volume control slider to help you find the perfect level for your playlist. Once you adjust the slider, you can increase the overall volume using the standard sound controls on your computer. If you're streaming a TRX workout on your mobile device, here’s where things get slightly trickier. Neither iOS nor Android operating systems will let you run a browse video and Spotify concurrently on your phone or tablet, but you can use two separate devices. For example TRX LIVE on the tablet, Spotify on your phone or smartwatch. Photo by Alora Griffiths on Unsplash Pump Up the Jams Okay, there are TRX playlists, but what does that mean?  It depends on who’s playing DJ. When TRX Master Trainer and six-time world logrolling champion Shana Verstegen is compiling her favorites, you’re going to hear the Backstreet Boys. “I have a very unhealthy obsession with the Backstreet Boys. Anybody who knows me even a little bit knows that it's pretty bad,” she said.  Rob McCullough, Former World Extreme Cagefighting Champ and TRX Master Trainer, gravitates to EDM. “Regardless if it's got words or not. You're moving. I like that,” he said.  On TRX Training and Development Manager Miguel Vargas’ ten (10!) hour playlist, you’ll hear everything from Beyoncé to Rage Against the Machine to Steve Aoki. When Zack Van Wagoner is working your arms to the point they might fall off, he’s probably playing rap. (Uncensored in his own workouts; radio-friendly edits at the TRX Training Center.)  In other words, the TRX Spotify channel is like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates: you never know what you’re gonna get. Crank up the tunes, or just enjoy some peace and quiet while you work out: either way, we’ve got fresh workouts rolling out daily on TRX LIVE to help you stay fit.

Battle ropes are one of the unsung heroes of fitness. Battle rope exercises may look easy—Wave your arms up and down? No problem!—but those simple movements deliver a full body strength and endurance challenge.

TRX Training Finding the time to squeeze all four types of exercise—endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance—into your week can feel like a Herculean task. The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise, with a suggested goal of 30 minutes a day, five times a week. But that’s just endurance. You still need to budget time for the other three types, along with work, family, friends, and, occasionally, sleep. These 15-minute TRX plans prove that efficient circuit training tools turn short sessions into serious strength builders. While there are only so many ways to cut down on endurance training while reaping the benefits, you can knock out an effective strength session in as little as 15 minutes. To help you through the process, celebrity fitness experts Jay Cardiello and Basheerah Ahmad have created 15-minute TRX workout plans for strength that you can do at home with your TRX Suspension Trainer. Each of the workouts targets a specific muscle group through two rounds of five moves performed for 60 seconds each with a 30 second break in between. (The total time, with breaks, comes to 15 minutes.) For an upper body workout, Jay recommends a sequence of TRX exercises that include chest presses, low rows, squat rows, bicep curls, and tricep presses. His 15-minute TRX workout plan for core includes a series of TRX side planks, body saws, pikes, mountain climbers, and hip abductions. For lower body work, Basheerah has you covered with five straightforward moves. Start with TRX hamstring curls, followed by hip presses, squats, mountain climbers, and lunges. (Yes, mountain climbers work both your core and your lower body!) The next piece of your workout regimen is stability, but this one is easy to combine into your lower body workout. In stability work, you should focus on exercises that require you to stand on one foot. For example, you could try a TRX single leg squat to single leg balance reach progression, or a TRX crossing balance lunge to step side lunge combo.  If you have time to stretch your 15-minute workout into a 20-minute workout, you can tack both of these onto the end of your leg workout. You can also try our ready-made TRX workout, which only takes 25 minutes of your time.  Now that you’ve got strength and balance out of the way, it’s time to think about flexibility. This one’s important because it improves your overall physical performance and helps you avoid injuries. While stretching after a workout will improve flexibility, it’s a reactive approach to training. You should also add a proactive approach, like yoga or the TRX Essentials: Flexibility video. In the video, TRX Director of Training and Development Fraser Quelch takes you through a 50-minute, real-time stretching routine designed to counteract the effects of daily life, and helps you understand what and why you’re stretching. Even if you add all of these TRX workout plans to your fitness routine, that's still less than two additional hours per week to target the four types of exercise your body needs. Not sure which combination of workouts would work best for your schedule and goals? Our quick fitness assessment can help create a time-efficient plan tailored just for you. And really, if two hours a week can lead to a longer, healthier life, isn't it worth the investment?   Invest in yourself today with TRX Training gear.

Wondering how to increase your leg strength for skiing with the TRX Suspension Trainer? To address this question, top ski coach Marc Digesti focuses his ski training programs specifically on building up both cardio strength (increase heart rate without burning out the legs) and leg strength (gradually increase the workload to target leg strength, without exhausting the cardiovascular system), while preparing athletes to efficiently handle higher training volumes when getting on the hill. There is a big emphasis on form and technique throughout this theme to ensure skiers are ready for the impact forces placed upon their joints as they begin to build their cardio and leg strength, helping their transition from the training floor to the slopes. When programming for alpine skiing, Marc emphasizes "core" movements, which are critical in the adjustment and maintenance of the skier's center of mass. Want to find the perfect training plan for ski season? Take our quick assessment quiz to get a personalized workout program that enhances your performance on the slopes. TAKE OUR TRAINING QUIZ   The core movements are essential for upper body stabilization placed on the skier during each run, in the park, back country and hucking cliffs. As such a dynamic sport, the movements of skiing involve vertical, lateral and rotational planes of movement. With all of this in mind, Marc has provided four movements that will compliment an existing ski training program: Vertical Push Movements: Split Squat (Single Leg Emphasis) Squat Jump (Double Leg Emphasis Lateral Push Movement: TRX Lunge (with Jump)  Rotational Movement: TRX Lunge (with Med Ball Slam)  Stabilizing Movements: Lateral Bounds (Lower Body Emphasis) TRX Plank (Upper Body Emphasis)  While incorporating these four phases of movements into your existing training routine, the stabilization and strength will prepare the body for the impact and stresses the mountain will place upon it. Marc Digesti is the founder of PerformanceEDU (www.performancedu.com). He has a degree in Exercise Physiology and is the head strength coach for US Disabled Ski Team.
