SOME TRX® TIPS: This circuit has a station that uses Conditioning Ropes. Make sure that the following two things are checked off before you attack those ropes:
- Your core is turned on
- Fire up your glutes and mobilize your shoulders prior to starting
We categorize many Conditioning Rope Exercises as a Pull. What does this mean exactly? Well, you need to focus on “pulling” the rope in a rhythmical fashion vs. slamming the rope until you’re blue in the face, all the while hoping for that beautiful wave-like motion we all strive for.
Movement standards of a pull are; active plank, with the movement being driven from the shoulders and elbows.
These four stations are going to challenge you in varied planes of motion forcing you to dial-in to what we like to say, “What should be mobile and what should be stable”.
Remember:
- Complete each exercise for 40 seconds and rest for 20 seconds
- Begin at station 1
- Repeat each station four times before moving on to the next station
