Follow Safety rules to Guide the TRX Workout

By Shawn M. Wood


Complex gym equipment like the TRX makes it easy for regular folk to train their entire body. Succumbing to injury is not something that would please anyone. That is why it is important that we follow safety rules at all times.

As it is said that we should be knows of the other as much as the other knows of ourselves. It is true that there are still a lot people who are not very familiar with the TRX. In this condition, they would be very easy to get hurt if they do not follow this safety guide seriously and strictly.

To get rid of those accidents as much as possible, first of all, it is quite necessary to check the TRX once it has been anchored. Of course, it would be better if we can double check it before starting the whole workout. Moreover, we must be extremely careful in terms of those straps and make sure that they have hooked into each pole. If it is convenient, we can try to tug on each strap with full force to test whether they are sturdy enough. After a careful check, another step is to clear the area where we would begin the TRX and make sure that there are no extra objects which are useless to our workout. As a matter of fact, they would easily become the potential possibility to hurt us.

Avoid exercising on the TRX when you are tired or injured. There is a possibility that you will let go of the suspensions if you are tired. This is not good as you might fall if you are elevated or be dragged by the straps if it is set to high resistance. This is especially dangerous if the TRX is hooked to your ankles. Go up the TRX resistance levels slowly. Do not force yourself to train on the hardest difficulty. Overexerting yourself will lead to muscle strain and injury. A torn muscle is the least of your worries if worse comes to worst.

Another important issue deserves our attention is that make sure that do not let little children play on the TRX alone. After all, this activity is still dangerous for them.
