TRX 12-week FORCE program: Day 18 + kayaking


So I mentioned that I am evaluating a TRX suspension system, by Fitness Anywhere, via a 12-week fitness program (FORCE). Today was Day 18.

Today for the strength component we did a repeat of Day 15, which concentrates on lower body. The single-leg squats went well, though I really need to use the ropes less if I want to do kettlebell pistols. The side planks, with ground taps are bothersome, but the suspended crunches are probably my favorite exercise in this set.

For cardio, as a running alternate I went kayaking about 6-7 miles. This was my first time and, amazingly, did not flip over, though I did swallow a bit of river water by accident (not the highlight of the day). Really beautiful scenery along the Severn River --- even saw some ospreys in nests with their chicks.

Since kayaking is an upper body workout, even as poorly as I do it, it was good that the strength component was lower body.
