TRX Push Up instructions
Step-by-step instructions
1
Stand facing away from the TRX anchor point and grasp the TRX handles with your palms facing each other.
2
Stretch your arms out in front of you, shoulder-width apart, and position yourself into a plank position.
3
Keep your body straight and rigid as you would in a push-up, leaning your body forward, so you are now at an angle.
4
Bend your elbows to lower your chest between your hands. You should feel your chest, not your arms, doing most of the work.
5
Push yourself back up to the starting position in a controlled movement, ensuring not to lock your elbows at the top of the move.
