Hi, my name is Anthony Young, fitness instructor for RotarySwing.

com.

Today, I'm going to show you the five best TRX exercises for you to improve your distance and play a better game of golf.

Now, the TRX is one of the best pieces of equipment.

It's convenient, it's light, it uses your body weight, and it's easy on your joints because unlike a lot of pieces of equipment, the handles can turn and it can really work with your body.

Now, the TRX also offers a unique stability challenge for your core, so you're going to see some nice improvements in your distance as well too.

Now, I'm going to go through the five best TRX exercises, and we're going to start first with the TRX push-up.

It's just like a push-up, but you're just going to grab the handles, okay? So, come on through, grab the handles, nice tight body, core tight, down, up, down, up.

Staying locked through your core the entire time.

The next exercise is your TRX inverted rows.

Now, you'll notice that I adjusted the straps all the way to the top, so that's exactly how you're supposed to do it, okay? So, when you row, adjust the straps to the top.

You're going to grab the handles, and just like the push-up, you're going to have a nice, tight body, nice and tall, and you're just going to row yourself up.

So it's going to look like this, locked in nice and tight, row.

Pull your shoulder blades down and back, and row.

To make it harder, get closer.

To make it easier, get further away.

And again, nice, tight body, and then row.

The next exercise is your TRX jump squats.

So the TRX jump squats is more of an explosive exercise.

You're using your entire lower body, and you're going to get some air here.

You want to use the straps to kind of help you propel yourself up and soften your blow when you come down.

So you're not just jumping.

You're actually going to put some tension in the straps, tension in the straps, squat down, jump, kind of pushing the straps down.

And now you're kind of getting more explosion as you come up, okay? And those are your TRX jump squats.

Keep your knees out, sit back, and explode on up.

Your next one is the TRX jackknife.

So the TRX jackknife is a core exercise.

You're going to get into a push-up position, but you're going to put your feet in the straps.

So it's going to look like this.

Lay on your back, drop the foot cradles over your feet, roll over.

Believe it or not, this took me years to figure out that there's this easier way to put your feet in the straps.

Silly me.

Okay.

Push-up position, core tight, pull the knees to your chest.

Keep your upper body nice and flat, upper body nice and quiet.

Pull those knees to your chest.

Finally is your Bulgarian split squat.

Now these are really hard.

This challenges your stability, your balance, and your leg strength.

You have to work your way up to this, but once you're there, You'll see a huge improvement in your power and your strength and hopefully prevent some injuries as well.

So there's two ways about it.

You can just use one strap or you can loop one strap within another.

It's up to you.

I'm just going to do it this way out of habit.

You have one foot cradle.

Put one foot in there.

So now one foot suspended, the other foot is out.

Get a little further away so it can support your back foot.

And then you're just going to stay nice and tall, squat down, come back up.

Squat down, come back up.

You can use weights, you can just do body weight.

Heck, if you're skilled, you can add a little jump, get a little explosiveness and a little more coordination involved as well.

And those are your five TRX exercises.

Give them a shot the next time you're in a gym and you'll see the difference on the course.

Hello Bob and Rick. I spoke with Anthony. Here is his reply. "Hey guys, great questions. It's hard to say without a detailed assessment, but a good start would be 4 sets of 10 reps. Your goal each time should be to get a little stronger than before. Make the exercise a little more intense by moving closer to the anchor point, reducing the rest in between exercises, or adding weight. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
