Here is one of our TRX Anterior Core Progressions:



TRX Plank

Coaching Cues:
1. Maintain “pillar” type stability
2. Do not allow excessive arching at the low back
3. Perform a 30 sec hold. Once proficient progress to the next exercise rather than progressing in time


TRX Body Saw

1. Same as above. Perform for reps or time


TRX Body Saw/Knee Tuck

Coaching Cues:
1. Perform the Knee Tuck without rounding the low back


TRX Walk-Outs

Coaching Cues:
