Does anyone do suspension training? If so, do you have any advice on exercises or resources that I can read up on that includes exercise routines?

    I've been using TRX training since 2001 and although you can just google "TRX Suspension training" I'd start with TRXtraining.com. Remember, the angle of the suspension strap will determine how easy or difficult the exercise will be.

    I have been using TRX for the last few months, in lifting weights and cardio. As shortchange1 said best place to start is the TRX website and you can find a lot of info on google, there are also some really good vids on youtube of showing what you can do/whole workout sessions.

    I was introduced to TRX about 3 months ago. This was after doing straight weight lifting with barbells and dumbbells. Man, if you think you can lift heavy weight, wait until you try TRX. After developing a circuit using only the TRX, it became more comfortable. TRX will transform your body!!!! I highly recommend it.

    Thanks. I don't lift heavy because I don't like going to the gym, so I decided to get the TRX so I can do bodyweight exercises. Do you have any favorite moves? Or moves that you think I should prioritize over others?

    OH yes! Push ups using the TRX (the more upright you are, the easier. The more close to the ground, the harder. Rows, tricep extension, one legged squats.. oh my gosh there are so many. Email me, and i can scan you the workouts with pictures. Nayners21@yahoo.com

    Right now trxtraining.com has two promo codes that I know of. Both offering free shipping. The first one is TRXNOW for 25% off (idk if this one will work for everyone, I got it off of a banner ad on the side of MFP) and it last until 12/24/14. The second one is SECRET for 20% off (and it's being advertised on the TRX website) and I am not sure how long it last. Now might be the time to invest in it since the promo codes knock off about $40-50 dollars. I do not know how often they have promo codes.

    Love TRX! I've been thinking about getting one for my home too, the price tag is the only thing holding me back at this point.
