TRX Suspension Trainer

By Antonio Pagano on

In today's day we spend way too much time sitting, either at work, in a car or at home on the couch. With very little time to workout to fight the effects of today's sedentary life, we need to think about the how, when and where we train?  

This is where the concept of functional training comes in, basically functional training are exercises which involve training the body for the activities performed in daily life. A key element to functional training is a strong core, and with a strong core we will develop better stability and therefore better mobility.

Among some of the tools that Keep On Track uses to train we utilise Kettlebells, TRX Suspension Trainer, TRX RIP Trainer, Battle Ropes, Elastic Bands and body weight exercises, today I would like to talk about the TRX Suspension Trainer and it's benefits. 

Born in the Navy SEALs, TRX Suspension Training develops strength, balance, flexibility and core stability simultaneously.

Before we can reclaim strength, balance, and flexibility is very important to be able to move our joints and therefore our muscles at their full range of motion while been pain free. Sometimes because of injury, arthritis or simply the effects of ageing accomplishing this task can be difficult, specially around the joints in the lower extremities where the weight of our body is always present.

One element that adds value to the TRX is the opportunity to off set some of this weight, unloading the joints to improve mobility and at the same time strengthening the muscles in charge of stabilising and mobilising that joint.

The TRX Suspension Trainer will deliver a full body workout in one session, making sure your core is always engaged! Regardless of your fitness level the TRX training can be adjusted to your own ability, combining upper and lower body, pushing and pulling, unilateral and bilateral exercises, TRX can challenge and cater to anyone that is looking to improve their fitness and health.

For those looking at losing weight the TRX is a great tool, at Keep On Track we like to combine the versatility of the TRX with the benefits of high intensity training to generate a metabolic effect that will help you burn more calories hours after your session.

In conclusion, regardless if your goal is to increase your metabolic rate, lose weight, tone up, improve mobility or just stay fit! The TRX suspension Trainer is an awesome conditioning tool that will take you from where you are to where you want to be.

4 Fun Workouts If You Hate Getting Sweaty

By Zoe Meunier on

Working up a good sweat is often seen as the benchmark for having had an effective workout. But let’s be honest, not everyone likes getting hot and sweaty. It’s uncomfortable, it means you have to shower afterwards and ladies, two words: blowdry ruined. However, high intensity, sweat inducing workouts aren’t the only path to fitness and good health. Anaerobic and strength building exercises are just as important for maintaining a healthy body, managing weight, reducing injury and making you feel good. The four workouts below are so much fun you won’t even realise you’re exercising, but will see you improving your fitness and wellbeing, no sweat!

Kickstart Yourself Back Into Movement

By Leanne Hall on

We’ve all been there. Hitting the gym regularly, eating really well and feeling fabulous. Then it happens. Maybe we over eat at a work function, or take a week off the gym because we’ve been feeling unwell. Or maybe we just feel bored with our current fitness routine. Whatever the trigger, the result is the same. Motivation takes a drastic nose-dive and we find ourselves frustrated, and perhaps even depressed at the fact that we just can’t seem to pull ourselves together and get back on track. 

So how can you get back on the health and fitness wagon? Well, here are my tips to help get 
you back to your healthy self again!
