The TRX is a tool that allows you to do a multitude of exercises in suspension. It is very useful to work the different muscle groups of the legs, placing both the hands and the feet on the grips. By playing with the posture and placement of the TRX you can do very effective exercises for the lower extremities. we explain how to do exercises with a TRX for your legs. According To COREStrongFitness 15 minute HIIT TRX Leg Workout!
Steps to follow:
1. To work the quadriceps and femoral muscles, that is, the muscle groups of the upper part of the leg, we will do an exercise with the TRX that is based on the classic squat, but with some variations.
2. Standing, we grab the TRX with both hands. We raise one leg without bending the knee until it forms an angle of 90 degrees with the other. We have to keep this leg elevated throughout the exercise.
3. We then begin the squat by bending the other leg and keeping our hands gripping the ends of the TRX. When we reach the bottom, we maintain the position for a few seconds and then we push ourselves trying to make a great jump to finish standing up.
4. To work the calves with the TRX we are going to do a very different exercise from the previous one in which we will start from the position that athletes adopt when they are going to start a race: one leg bent forward and the other straight extended backward.
5. The TRX will be behind our body and we will grab it with our hands. The arms will be glued to the trunk and flexed, as in a race position.
6. Once we have the proper posture, we begin the exercise. To do this, we will make the movement that we would execute if the starting gun was fired: we forcefully advance the leg that we have behind.
7. The arms should be kept flexed and holding the TRX tightly, the tension of which will make the calves work hard with the exercise.
8. In this other one, in the grips of the TRX we will place the feet and not the hands. You have to lower the TRX so that the ends are about 30 centimeters from the ground, although we will adapt this measurement based on our measurements according to the comfort we have when doing the exercise.
9. Lying on the ground, we place our feet on the TRX handles with our arms extended and our hands clasped above our heads.
Then, we raise the body as much as we can by bending the legs and keeping the upper part of the back against the ground and the feet on the TRX as the only support points.
