Happy Friday all!!! So the weekend is almost here and hopefully you will all be able to enjoy it and relax … or party party if that’s your thang too.

So I have a new little “toy” that I am excited to talk about (me, talk? I know, I know)

I am the proud owner of a TRX!

Let’s back up a bit though… when Bonnie stopped by for a visit, I couldn’t resist in asking her to show me what exactly the TRX is, how it’s used and it’s benefits. Of course, with her being a personal trainer she jumped at it and I’m so glad she did!  By the short [yet awesome] lesson she gave me, I was totally sold. I had briefly heard about it before but I couldn’t believe how something so versatile and portable could be such an incredible workout.

So when I found a good deal on a TRX, I couldn’t pass it up … and am I ever happy with it!

For those of you who aren’t familiar with it…

What is a TRX? … “a revolutionary method of leveraged bodyweight exercise. Easily set up the portable TRX Suspension Trainer and you’re in control. Safely perform hundreds of exercises that build power, strength, flexibility, balance, mobility, and prevent injuries, all at the intensity you choose” source

I’m no pro and still learning how to use it properly but let me tell you, the first time I did the DVD workout, I thought my heart was going to jump right out of my chest. It’s intense and a no joke of a workout! I like it because there are different progressions depending how hard you want to work yourself, so this really can be a workout tool for everyone.

I packed it up with me a couple weeks ago when we headed out of town for my cousins wedding. I just HAD to show the rest of my family! They were pretty impressed (with the TRX.. not with me).

I think the hardest part of getting used to the TRX is trust. Trusting that the door won’t break and that I won’t fall flat on my face. Trusting that I can hold myself up. It’s all a work in process people.. but I am enjoying it.

Have you tried a TRX? To my knowledge, they were more popular in the States before they hit Canada.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! Anything exciting planned?

G-Man and I are going on a hot date on Saturday night. Oh la la!
