Chest + Core: TRX Push-Ups!
Push-ups are the most common exercise on the planet! In addition to developing upper body strength (chest, shoulders, triceps), push-ups can also develop your core strength! You need to use your core muscles to fight gravity to stabilize your body and keep your spine and pelvis in a neutral position
Because it is a freehand action, we can operate it easily at any time and place! Push-ups have also become one of the most cost-effective exercises!
At the same time, there are many variations of push-ups. We can use different body positions, different grip distances, and different auxiliary equipment to change the focus of the movements
Today I want to introduce to you the use of TRX for push-up training!
Benefits of TRX: Use suspension to provide instability and increase challenges for your core muscles! Let you develop stronger core strength while exercising your upper body muscles!
How?
1. Choose a TRX or hanging ring, put both feet into a leather rope, hold your body up with your hands shoulder-width apart, and assume a push-up preparation position.
2. Tighten your buttocks and abdomen to stabilize your body, then slowly bend your elbows and lower your body, feeling your chest slowly stretch until your chest almost touches the ground and stops.Then keep the tension!
3. Contract the triceps of the chest muscles to support the body, and stay at the top of the movement for a second! Then keep moving!
Note:
Similar to traditional push-ups, keep your shoulders down and the angle of shoulder abduction should not be too large! It is recommended to be around 40 degrees!
Always keep your spine and pelvis in the correct position during the process. Remember not to slump or hunch your back. You can put a ball on your back to monitor your joint alignment!
