Break it down to put it together.
I love a good full body, no-muscle-left-untouched kinda exercise.
I came up with this one for a client who loves her some TRX. And who has worked with me for a LONG time- so I know it's appropriate for where she's at today.
But if you look at this and wonder what's even happening? Think of it in terms of each part and break it down.
An exercise will only meet your needs if you're able to perform it without compensating.
So start with the first piece- which is a hip mobility exercise- the kneeling hip hinge. From there, it's a get up. Then it's a TRX plank, then it's a Tricep Extension.
Work where you're at, and only add on when you feel confident and strong in the pieces you're confident in.

Growing up I was a half-hearted athlete who struggled with my relationship with both food and exercise. I smoked for over a decade and spent much of my youth either binging or not eating at all. But after breaking my leg in a car accident, months of physical rehab and years of psychological counseling lead me to a renewed appreciation for my health and my ability to just move-something I'll never take for granted again. I overcame a lot and have spent much of my life sharing what I've learned. I became a NASM personal trainer over 16 years ago. The type of clients I've trained and my own personal interests lead me to attain many other certifications. These include Sports Specific and Orthopedic exercise specializations, Pre and Post Natal exercise, MMA conditioning, and ACE Mind Body Specializations. I've taken 2 TRX qualifying courses in general and functional fitness. I am Kettlebell certified through both NETA and Kettlebell Kings, also completing an independent study facilitated by Steve Cotter, founder of the International Kettlebell and Fitness Federation. I am also a certified Animal Flow Instructor. In the fall of 2021, I became a Certified Intuitive Eating Facilitator, as IE was integral to my own ability to divest from diet culture. I think this was the missing piece to be able to put together a holistic, meaningful training program for all my clients.
