    I thought this thread was about something else...
    I didn't think that, but my mind sure went there when I saw "Strap Ons" :laugh:

    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

    In Chalean Extreme one of the girls uses straps instead of weights....ok I've not answered your question.

    Is a TRX work out considered "easy" and not as effective as lifting weights? I would like to know....



    It may LOOK easy to someone who hasn't tried it but I just did a 30 minute class for the first time on tues and my whole body is still feeling it, muscles I didn't even know existed hurt. So my opinion is if you do it right it is just as effective maybe more for certain areas!!

    I typed letters to make words.... you put your own meaning behind them... don't blame me for what you WANTED it to mean. Just comment so we know who you are...

    Ironically, you've pretty much answered your own original question here. You put the "stupid girl" meaning behind the looks you're getting, not the guys looking. They're probably thinking something along the lines of "45 more seconds to the next set. Someone is using trx, that thing is interesting."

    Wow. Very enlightening.

    No, those are resistance bands. Those straps she's referring to are suspension trainers. Google TRX to see what I mean.

    I lift(and fairly heavy for a girl) and have done TRX... TRX is hard!!! It works me in a completely different way!! Don't know how anyone could say it is easy..

    I will admit I thought this thread was about something else... I've been on this site too long....:laugh: :laugh:

    I was wooed out of the weight room one day by a cute trainer offering a free session and gave TRX a try...it kicked my butt and I loved it!!! I'm trying to convince him to let me use it for free on a regular basis but I'm not having any luck...lmao :)

    If you are not sweating while wearing a strap on, you are doing it wrong

    It is probably curiousity.

    Several years ago I belonged to a gym that had the TRX setup. While I was lifting weights I would watch the class completely fascinated with what they were doing. I had never seen it before so I was watching them. I never did take the class because I hated that gym and quit it quickly.

    Oh, and in because I want this on my feed. :laugh:
