SCIENCE SAYS SO: 2 WAYS THE TRX ROCKER BOOSTS SWIMMING PERFORMANCE
Everyone knows about foam rolling these days—it’s so popular, it’s showing up in the swim community, too. Why? Competitive swimming requires swimmers to train or compete on consecutive days, often under conditions of fatigue. This impacts a swimmer's ability to train hard or compete. Plus, it doesn't matter how strong and powerful a swimmer you are—if you don't have good range of motion in your joints and muscle flexibility, it’s harder to achieve a streamlined position in the water. Using the TRX Rocker and other self-myofascial release tools could be an effective method for optimising training efforts.

The leaves may be starting to turn but the great outdoors is still calling for you to explore.

Oh! The Places You'll Go With Your TRX Straps
We’ve all met the people who never miss a workout, even on vacation. If you own a set of TRX straps, you might even be one of those people. With a TRX Suspension Trainer, working out on the road is easy and—dare we say?—fun. If you like hammering out reps on your straps at home, just wait until you set up your Suspension Trainer at the beach, in a forest, or on a mountain top. Need to see it to believe it? Check out the picturesque makeshift gyms these TRX fans found.
WHAT’S YOUR BEST TRX PARTY TRICK?
When you start using a TRX Suspension Trainer, you’re laser-focused on your form, the difference it makes when you're closer or farther away from your anchor point, and the ease of working out anywhere. But, once you get the hang of things, you might find yourself busting out some TRX party tricks (sometimes at actual parties!). While these moves are unlikely to make it into your daily workout routine, they’re worth a try when you want to experiment with TRX for Fun.
