You're powering through a set of TRX Atomic Push-ups when it happens. Your foot, not restricted to the confines of a shoe, slips through the foot cradles of your TRX Suspension Trainer, and you briefly lose focus (not to mention a few precious reps if you're in a group TRX workout), as you stop and re-holster your errant foot.
With the rise in popularity of barefoot training as well as the rise in diverse populations on the TRX (youth and women with youthfully small feet), this is a question we've been asked on the TRX Community Forums: what can you do to keep your feet from slipping through the foot cradles when you're doing ground-based exercises on the TRX, such as the TRX Incline Press and TRX Mountain Climbers? To help us with this request is TRX Master Trainer Lynne Virant. Wondering if these exercises are right for your fitness level?
