and this is crazy, but you just joined, TRX maybe?
Let me start by answering the question: What the heck is TRX?
TRX stands for Total body Resistance eXercise, and it is definitely that!! I did what little research I could and watched videos on YouTube just to have an idea of what I was getting myself into. Of course for me, the ultimate question was:
CAN I DO THIS?
Yesterday was my first of 12 TRX classes in this "camp". I was a little apprehensive when I first arrived for the class. I will say that I was a little overwhelmed when I saw the setup of the room. It is set up for 9 ladies, metal bars come out from the wall and go down to the floor. There are 9 TRX straps hanging from them, using the bars as the anchor points. I remember thinking again... What did I get myself into?
The instructor was great, see was really attentive to each of us because of the smaller class size and was able to help us all with out form. She showed us modifications on each of the eXercises to make it a little easier or a little harder. I was sweating, but felt at ease because we were all in it together.
We went through a variety of eXercises, working different parts of the body. Some were a lot easier than others. We ended with a plank, which I refer to as a "floating" plank. It was definitely difficult to get off of my knees, but I pushed through, because I am a BAMF! (Bad ass mother fucker, for those that don't know.)
Needless to say, I woke up this morning with sore muscles... some of which I never knew existed. It's obvious that TRX is a great workout for the entire body. Week 1, day 1, complete! On to week 1, day 2!
If I can do it, ANYONE can!!!
