WHAT IS TRX?

What is TRX?

TRX is a new tendency which is based on suspension training. It is necessary to use two straps to train it. TRX is an useful tool to build muscle by using cardio and strength training. It seems too easy but in case you want to work as a professional it is necessary to complete different courses which are related to this.

Lots of people all around the world train with this because they may not have time to go to the gymnasium so it is completely worth it. Moreover, it is possible to find different prices and almost everybody could afford to buy two of these straps and start training without any problem.

How to train?

TRX can be trained in many different ways but all of them will include a full-body strength in which you just have to use your own body to train. This concept of training is far from using machines or other elements. You don’t have to be the best to start, because the intensity can vary depending on the person.

Why to do it?

With Trx it is possible to train all the muscles and the fact that it is different makes it more fun. It does not matter the place, you can practise it anywhere. Apart from that, you do not need machines you just have to buy two straps and you could practise it at home which is very comfortable for everyone. 

Is it dangerous?

Lots of people think that if they start training TRX they will get injured. Of course, it is an intensive training but a professional who is on top of you will always recommend you the best and he or she will adapt the training session to your level. The intensity will be increased gradually. Once you start improving it is absolutely recommendable that you increase the frequency of training sessions because if not achieving physical improvements will be really difficult.

ENRIQUE JOSÉ GARCÍA CONESA

            I was born on June 22, 1993, in Albacete. I am studying Physical Education at the University of Alicante. In the afternoon, I work as an English teacher as I have always been interested in learning this language. Apart from that, many years ago,  I used to compete as an athlete but I had to stop working out because it required a lot of time and I was not able to train three hours a day. As soon as I finish my degree, I would like to learn different aspects related to high performance training as well as new languages which I think that are really important.

VICENTE ANTÓN CAMPOS

      My name is Vicente Antón Campos and I was born in Santa Pola (Alicante).I am 23 years old and I study Physical Education at the university of Alicante. My motivation are both collective sports and individual sports. I also like all what is related to high performance training as well as Physical& Health activity. I like trying different sports. When I was a kid I used to take part in Karate competitions but some years later I trained both endurance and strength. Currently, I am working as a personal trainer and in the summer I work as a coach in a summer camp.

WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL TRAINING?

With functional training we look for increasing our life or just an improvement in training performance. You can achieve it thanks to the use of different muscles which are used in many different exercises. This way, you can avoid the most common way to train in which you use structural strength. You can improve your skeletal muscle structures losing importance the increase of the cross-section of the muscle.

     It is quite an important thing to take into consideration the abdominal belt lumbar due to its importance especially in our lifestyle. When we practise sports or when we just train we use the abdominal belt lumbar so we need to train it as much as possible. For this reason, local stabilizers are relevant to gain strength in functional training.

 

Why is functional training important to improve our lifestyle?

           Almost all the actions in our life are related to physical activity. Walking, lean down, or pick up an object even not sitting down properly. We use these actions without taking into account that they are harmful for us. The fact of not training implies that these harmful actions become more and more serious so it would be essential that people work some drills such as tractions and pushings. Thanks to these drills people will be able to improve their quality of life what is very important.

Why functional training can help us to improve sports perfomance?

In Sports we try to improve the perfomance training by using preventive maintenance. With these drills the most important exercises can be improved so they should be taken into consideration as complementary drills. We don’t have to confuse this kind of training which looks for developing  the function with the one that looks for developing  the function with the developing of the structure.
