I did my first actual workout on the TRX yesterday and I started with the All Body Xpress included with the package. It was tough and I was very suprised. I did 1:00 each on the exercises and if you've never done bicep curls with the TRX for 1:00, you're in for a surprise.

There are 12 exercises in total and they're split between lower body, upper, and core. The lower body portion surprised me the most. LOTS of one leg stuff: pistols, balance lunges, step behind lunges, cossack squats, etc. I didn't expect the lower body stuff to be worth much but it's turning out to be one of the best parts of the program.

The core stuff is really killer. I did the crunches and they're brutal. It gets even worse when you do the atomic push up:

The TRX is a solid buy. The exercises are really fun to do and it's easy to make each one easy or hard simply by moving your feet forward or back.

I've introduced the TRX to my clients and many say they really like it. It's more like play, they say. Of course, I didn't show them the atomic pushup. :)
