Due to the fact that this exercise will get tiring quickly, especially if using the incline setting on the treadmill, make sure to keep good posture while running. Do not start out at a extremely fast pace and make sure there is a significant warm up before jumping on the treadmill it turning it up to ’10’.

The TRX clip should be as close to the supporting bar as possible. Place a dowel rod in between the racks and record the rung in which it sits. Progress the dowel closer to the anchor when the client can perform 20 perfect reps. Make sure the ends of the straps on the TRX are pulled to the single line.

Facing the TRX grab the handles with each hand, palms facing up and towards you. Back away from the anchor of the TRX until there is no slack in the straps. Lean back with feet flat on the floor and arms fully extended. Pull your body upward to the handles by bending both arms at the elbows until your biceps touch the handles. Slowly lower yourself back to the starting position. Repeat.

Place feet in the TRX straps so that toes are pointed toward the floor. Using your arms, push yourself up into a plank position so your entire body is suspended with only your palms making contact with the floor. Brace your core and keeping your back flat, slowly lower your body to the ground in a traditional push-up movement, as your body rises out of the push up bring both of your knees into your chest. Extend your knees back behind you and in to the starting position. Repeat.
