So I mentioned that I am evaluating a TRX suspension system, by Fitness Anywhere, via a 12-week fitness program. Today was Day 2.
Day 2 was very similar to Day 1, except there were more upper body exercises, in addition to more core work. In all, there were 12 new exercises to learn, so like in Day 1, a lot of my time was spent figuring out how to do the exercises (and not break anything as a result). The suspended incline press was particularly tricky for me --- luckily neither humans nor furniture were destroyed as a result of me doing this exercise.
Day 2 also had a cardio component, classified as an "intensity run". Since one of my goals of the TRX program is to help prepare me for more intense kettlebell work, I substituted an "intense" kettlebell routine for the "intense" run. In particular, I did two sets of 15:15 snatches, 7 snatches per interval, resting an active 5 minutes between sets. For me, this was plenty intense --- the low calorie/minute rate for the strength portion of the workout was more than compensated for by the high calorie/minute rate during the snatches.
