My local YMCA has just started up TRX classes. I decided to try it out two days a week and I really enjoy it. Is TRX body blast considered a cardio or strength training?

    Not sure what body blast is, but I own a TRX and doing body weight exercises on that is strength training. That being said, it sounds like it is a class that incorporates TRX exercises while keeping an elevated hear rate, if that is the case, then it is both strength training and cardio.

    If you could explain what a typical routine is I could help more.

    Can be both. Lactic acid build up will help determine if it's more strength than cardio.

    Body blast is what the class is called. We do everything is sets of 8-10. It is more about the number of reps and less about how quickly they are being done. I kind of thought it might be a little cardio and strength, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the input.
