2011 TRX® Holiday Training Plan

MAKE YOUR BODY YOUR MACHINE®
LET’S START A NEW HOLIDAY TRADITION. Normally, the holiday season is filled with fattening treats and non-stop events that together conspire to throw you off your fitness game. You are human, after all. Sweets and drinks are practically mandatory and the festivities crowd out your usual training time. You grant yourself a fitness hall pass and vow to hit the training hard in January. This year, things are going to be different. Sure, you’ll still enjoy the culinary delights of the season. But by following this progressive, FOUR-WEEK TRAINING PLAN during the month of December, you will also get stronger and more fit. Every TRX exercise in this Plan was also in the Basic Training DVD that came with your TRX Suspension Trainer. On days that you’re not doing Suspension Training, the Plan calls for aerobic activity like jogging. Follow the Plan and start a new holiday tradition of building strength, endurance, mobility and maintaining your training tenacity through the season (and don’t forget to visit our Facebook page to let us know how it’s going).
