So I mentioned that I am evaluating a TRX suspension system, by Fitness Anywhere, via a 12-week fitness program. Today was Day 4.
Today was very similar to Day 1 --- the strength component was a concentration of exercises more on legs and core. However, even though I was sore, I enjoyed this workout more than on Day 1 since I was more familiar with the exercises and I seemed more stable. Perhaps it was just that I wasn't freaking out over the idea of doing a lunge with the other leg suspended from a cable behind me. I was also much more stable in the side plank, which was, for the most part, a big disaster of cables, arms, and legs going everywhere on Day 1. My favorite exercise, so far, seems to be the suspended crunch.
Today was also the first day I tried the Door Anchor. This device, which comes with the Force Kit, allows you to anchor the TRX cables to a household door --- convenient when you want to train inside, such as when on travel, there's bad weather outside, etc. Just attach the Door Anchor to the cables, place the anchor on top of a door, and close the door --- no problem!
For the cardio component of Day 4, it was another intensity run, which I substituted with an intensity kettlebell workout of two 5-minute intervals of 15:15 snatches, 7 snatches per interval.
By the way, if you want to see what a kettlebell snatch looks like, check out this short video by RKC Sandy Sommer:
Finally, I am noting that it is getting challenging fitting in the strength and cardio workout components on the same day, especially when working long hours or on travel.
