TRX, my new strength tool!

I have been incorporating TRX into my daily strength work for about a month now. TRX is a suspension training tool that uses bodyweight to help build lean muscle. It helps increase stability too because you have balance while doing many of the exercises. Increasing stability in small muscles in the hips is a huge help for me with my running form. Through my recent injury, I learned I was pretty weak through my stabilizer mucles in the hips, which can end up being a big deal for effecient running form and being injury free! So far the TRX has been fun and challenging! I really like doing one leg squats with the TRX (really helps with stabilizing through the hips) and doing plank/core work. Boy, it sure can hurt! Here are a couple of pictures as I was trying out some exercises I learned. I plan to keep learning more from the website and from my physical therapist to be sure I am hitting all areas to become stronger. I will post more about what I learn on how the TRX can help with overall strength! I have to be a student for a little while. :)
