Click Here To Get You TRX Force Kit: Tactical Program
I have had the opportunity to use the new TRX Force Kit: Tactical for a few weeks now, and I have got to say that I have really enjoyed the changes TRX made with this Suspension Trainer. I have been able to workout on each Suspension trainer that TRX offers and I would have to say that although I really loved the original versions, I love the new TRX Force Kit even more.
So what is better? Well, the first thing I noticed was the new rubberized handles. I wasn’t so concerned about the durability of them, because I could tell the quality was really good, I was more concerned about how comfortable they were on my hands. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how comfortable the new handles were when I started working out, they provided incredible grip and I did not experience any type of discomfort. Plus, they felt solid, which gave me more confidence and an ease of mind when performing my workouts.
The next piece that I tested was the D-rings, which replaced the cam buckles. This to me is one of the most crucial parts of the TRX Trainer because it has to be able to hold your weight and not slip. I was happy to find that the D-rings were very easy to use and made it very easy to adjust the height of my suspension trainer. I tried to perform some very demanding workouts to see if the rings would slip in any type of way, and they did not budge at all. I actually really like the D-rings, not only are they durable and easy to use, they helped reduce the overall weight of the Suspension Strap to around 1.5 pounds, instead of 2 pounds. Which is not a huge amount, but every little bit counts.
Here are some more features (which I like to call “bonuses”) I enjoyed about the New TRX Force Kit:
- The Mesh Bag: Very roomy, and you can wear it like a backpack. Hands-free is always better in my mind.
- Extender Strap: It is around 38 inches long, so you can really attach it to some high anchor points if you have too.
- Two DVDs: They include instructions, a couple workouts, and some agility drills
It also comes with the basics, like the TRX door anchor and the “Workout in progress” doorknob sign.
Even though there are some cool improvements to the TRX Force Kit, it was the “Tactical” part that got me really excited. The New TRX Force Kit includes a 12-week workout program that is designed for strengthening and adding mobility to your body.
The 12-weeks are split into 3 phases. The 1st phase is to help maximize your core strength and overall body strength, the 2nd phase is to help you strengthen your arms and legs, but still maintain your core power, and the 3rd phase is all about interval training. Each phase is 4-weeks long and there are 4 workouts per week.
My Review of The TRX Force Tactical Conditioning Program:
At first I was a little overwhelmed when I opened the book and tried to make sense of the workout regiment. But once I calmed down, it was very easy to follow. Each phase corresponds with a workout module map that provides all the workouts you will be doing in that phase, so all you have to do is pull out the poster and find the exercise the regime is calling for. It is as simple as that.
There is a workout guide for each day, and it is easily planned out for you to follow. The guide will tell you which workout to perform, how many reps to do, and how many seconds to hold a position. Everything is laid out for you in detail, which makes it very easy to read.
There is no doubt in my mind that if someone were to follow this Conditioning Program for the whole 12-weeks they would see some amazing results. You can build great strength by just doing a few workouts on the TRX trainer, let alone 12-weeks of workouts. The sky is the limit and if you are serious about getting into the best shape of your life, then this is the way to do it.
