Thread: Jungle Gym vs. TRX?

The woman I spoke to was very kind & helpful, so I take that as a good sign.

I just know that I didn't feel "worked" like I do with...

I should have my TRX on Monday/Tuesday I'll let you know about the door anchoring issues, hopefully it will be okay on my doors, I'll really like to use this with my KBells and build up core strength for Cardio Fight.

Well, I was my normal breathless self after each insanity part. I would take about a 15 sec rest and then do the trx moves. I was still pretty breathless and would need about another 10 seconds before starting the next insanity sequence. But, I am just in ok shape. I didn't wear my hr monitor I will...

Welcome Bee I should add that the door anchor and core dvd are not part of the pro package itself but were offered in addition to it. The price I paid on Ebay was about half what it all would have been at the retail price.

There's the Infamous TRX workout - a series of workouts progressing over 8 weeks. http://www.precisionnutrition.com/trx-workout-phase-1 or http://community.fitnessanywhere.com...workout-b.aspx I started doing these workouts when they came out on the PN site using yoga straps for my improvised TRX - got me excited enough about suspension training to invest in the real TRX. It was nice to actually see progress in strength and conditioning...

There is a decent amount of evidence that the ones on ebay (unless they're sold by Fitness Anywhere) are fakes. I have one, too, and so far it's okay, but I'm pretty sure it is a copy--the panels in the poster are out of order and the lettering is coming off of the sign for the door. I have seen threads on FA's site where people complained that the buckles slip. I'm going to continue to use mine, but I'm also...

After each water break, I would do 2 exercises from the pentagon trx workout. It made the plyo workout be...
