    Ok....one.....in this section...yeah the Topic title is misleading lol I came in here for the same reason all the others did..lol


    But on a serious note....my gym has this new Crossfit(ish) section where they moved all the TRX straps to and the it's located right in the middle of the weight floor ...so serious lifters are using them and around them also. No one looks at eachother funny at my gym....*shrugs*

    in all seriousness..... I want to know. Why do I get looked at like I am a "stupid girl" that thinks I am working out hard.
    TRX straps are suspension straps
    Perhaps you should ask the fitness forums? They might take this more seriously.
    And honestly, whatever gets you sweating and your heart rate up sounds like a decent work out to me.

    Perhaps people are watching cuz they're trying to figure out what you're doing..aka....they're still new to many people and they're spying so they don't look stupid when they try? lol Don't assume you know what others are thinking. Do your thing!

    That strap on might have something to do with the funny looks....

    So lets face it...anyone who has checked this out has sex on their mind 24/7, kinky, is either very curious, bi or lesbian or a typical fantasizing male!

    THAT IS WHY I LOVE THIS GROUP!!!!

    Amazing how many people were REEEALLY hoping it was everything the title said. :D

    There are so many other forums for that though.

    Nope these guys aren't new there. They are there all the time and seem to almost be laughing as they grunt and flex in the mirror.
    Don't get me wrong... I admire their dedication and progress to their hard work. More power to them.

    So, serious answer, TRX is a crazy hard workout. A lot of the "elite" type soldiers used them in Iraq. I tried them in the gym once and found that it was a lot more difficult than it looked. I really like them, but can't see paying the money for what is essentially, webbing.

    That being said, I also feel misled by the title. And yes, I have a dirty mind.

    .....but do they also use them? That doesn't mean they know squat about them.

    I('m sure there are plenty of people watching you.....oh well. Again, do your thing. We all watch others do things for whatever reason or another in life. Makes things amusing :)

    TRX is one serious exercise. It's no joke! I'm sure those people lifting weights wouldn't be able to do TRX. If they look at you funny it's because they don't understand it. You have to be in serious good shape to manipulate your movements on the straps and you're targeting muscles that are not easily accessible through lifting weights.

    If I could afford to take the class I would totally be doing it too.
