TRX Training with TP at the TRX HQ

Here is a collection of clips from my visit to the TRX Suspension trainer Headquarters in San Francisco.  I enjoyed my visit with TP and he and I were bouncing some of the ideas off each other that we have been doing on our own and with other trainers and clients.  These are not easy exercises, but may be useful for some more advanced core training exercises using the TRX Suspension Trainer.  I ended up taking one of their circuit training classes later on that night and found it to be a fantastic workout.

TRX + Indo Board Fusion - Scorpion + 1 Leg Atomic Pushup

Here is an exercise I've been working on that has been challenging and fun at the same time.  It utilizes the TRX and the Indo Board Roller to do a 1 Leg Scorpion and atomic pushup.  I usually do about 8-10 reps of each while trying to maintain my balance.  It's difficult!  Let me know how it goes!

Mountain Biking with an Old Buddy

About a year ago I got reconnected via facebook with an old buddy I grew up with. Brandon and I used to ride bikes, rollerblade, play baseball, and in high school after I broke my neck and was getting back to the gym, we lifted weights and "crushed" protein shakes!

In college, Brandon herniated discs in his low back lifting weights, so after we re-connected, I recommended that he start riding bikes with me. I have found with my clients that along with core training and stretching, cycling is great therapy for low back pain. It is also great for your cardiovascular system and helps get blood and oxygen to your discs in your spine. 

Now you can find Brandon and I on the trails most weekends riding our hearts out and having just as much fun as we did as kids.

Research is showing that being involved with a community and having friends is a key component to living a long and healthy life. I hope Brandon and I can continue to be good pals and ride bikes to keep us both super healthy till we are in our 100's!

Indo Board Highlights from IHRSA 2010 Part 2

This is a highlight from IHRSA 2010 in San Diego at the Indo Board Booth where I was working. I was Filming while Chip was spotting and teaching people how to train on the Indo Board. The ability levels were very mixed, and as you can see, as was the shoes people were wearing.  This woman picks it up pretty quickly despite wearing High Heeled Boots!  Have you tried the indo board?  How long did it take you to learn to get your balance right on the indo board?  Have you tried to indo board in High Heels?  Now there's a challenge for you!

TRX + Indo Board Fusion at IHRSA 2010!

Here is some video of the TRX + Indo Board Fusion class that I helped to teach and create at IHRSA 2010 last week in San Diego.  I think it generally went pretty well seeing that not many people were actually familiar with both tools and with so many moving parts and so many different ability profiles, it was difficult to keep the class flowing smoothly.  All in all, I do think it was a success!  Here's a little background:

The ability of the TRX to displace one’s center of gravity while creating limitless planes of motion and movement angles makes it an amazing tool for training the body in three dimensions.  Indo Board was created to take people away from their typical stable environments by creating instability which in turn trains the mind and body to improve balance, proprioception, coordination, postural awareness and neuromuscular response.   We believe the TRX is the best tool for training in 3-D, therefore, combining it with the Indo Board takes it to the next level.  Training in 4-D.  TRX, Indo Board, Jon Ham, and You Lee Rodriguez collaborated on this project to create a workout further challenging the TRX user by taking the normally stable contact point whether it's the feet or hands, and adding instability to that point.  The net result is a workout that provides increased muscular recruitment along with a greater challenge to the bodies balance and stabilization systems producing a more dynamic result.  Thanks to You Lee Rodriguez for the great background beats!
